This page contains general information on registering to attend GEAPS Exchange 2008. Questions? Call GEAPS at (00-1)952-928-4640.
How to Register
Pre-registration for Exchange 2008 is now closed. Onsite registration will begin in Omaha on Saturday, Feb. 23. You can fill out and bring this registration form to the Registration Center in the Qwest Center Omaha, but after Feb. 15 faxed or online registrations will not be accepted.
You can customize the registration package that best fits your needs. Look over the different options available to ensure that you will get the Exchange experience that you are looking for.
Who Needs to Register
All Exchange events are open only to individuals who are registered and wearing their official badges. This includes the expo hall and all ‘a la carte’ and optional events. All exhibitors also need to register individually for the Exchange (see below).
Guests of registrants must also register and wear their badge to access any event. If they are only planning to share hotel accommodations, but not attend any Exchange events they do not need to register.
What if I’m not a GEAPS member?
Delegates who are not active GEAPS members when they register and purchase a ‘full’ registration at the non-member rate will receive GEAPS membership through June 2009. A confirmation of your new membership will be sent separately from your Exchange registration confirmation (after the conference). (Note: The membership offer does not include exhibitors, unless they elect to enclose an additional $185/each to cover the membership dues.
For Exchange Exhibitors
All exhibitors coming to the Exchange must register individually. Each person planning on attending must send in a registration form.
More detailed information for exhibitors here.
Each exhibiting company receives two complimentary exibitor registrations per each 10’x10’ booth they have reserved. Exhibitors may purchase guest, a-la-carte or optional tickets. As a perk for being part of the Exchange, all exhibitors receive the GEAPS member rate for tickets, regardless of whether the individuals are members or not. (See note above regarding non-members.)
Any additional individuals beyond the two complimentary exhibitor registrations may also attend but must purchase an additional exhibitor registrations (at a special reduced rate). Exhibitors cannot register with complimentary expo passes or an expo-only ticket.

Exchange Policy: No Suitcasing
Please note that while all show attendees are invited to the showcase, any attendee who is observed to be soliciting business in the aisles or other public spaces, in another company’s booth, or in violation of any portion of this Policy, will be asked to leave immediately. Additional penalties may be applied. GEAPS recognizes that suitcasing may also take the form of commercial activity conducted from a hotel guest room; a restaurant, club, or any other public place of assembly. For the purposes of this policy, suitcasing violations may occur at venues other than the exhibition floor and at other non-Exchange events. Read the full policy on no suitcasing.
