Expo's Check In and Premium Onsite Badge Printing (BP) experience is a game changer -- you'll save so much time and pre-event work!
❗ Important: All FINAL, APPROVED badge shell design artwork is due to Expo Pass Event Success 24 DAYS PRIOR to your event start date. If for some reason your timeframe becomes compressed to less than 24 days, we cannot guarantee that your badge shells can be ordered and ready for your event. Missing this deadline may result in limited badge design options, unavailability of full-color badge designs, and potential delays in badge delivery. Late submissions may still be reviewed, but neither delivery timelines nor desired design quality can be guaranteed.
