What is the Expo Guest Pass program?
The Expo Guest Pass Program ensures your customers and prospects can visit the exhibit hall —as your guest—for free! This is an excellent way for you to provide a personalized benefit to customers, increase your visibility, and strengthen your relationship with them at AIHA Connect 2025.
NOTE: This is NOT where you register your booth staff.
What do my guests have access to?
Each Expo Guest Pass will receive free admission to the exhibit floor ONLY. Expo dates and times can be viewed at www.aihaconnect.org. The Expo Guest Pass does not cover sessions or social events outside the exhibit hall.
NOTE: Any Expo Guest Pass registrant seen attending activities outside of the exhibit hall will be asked to visit registration and upgrade their badge at prevailing on-site rates.
Who is considered a guest?
Guests are your customers or prospects. Guest passes are not intended for employees of your company or anyone working in your booth. Any exhibitor employee or booth personnel trying to register with the Expo Guest Pass will be denied and charged prevailing on-site exhibitor registration rates.
How many Expo Guest Passes are given to exhibitors?
Every exhibitor is allotted five (5) complimentary Expo Guest Passes.
Expo Guest Pass Instructions
Your guests must register themselves by using the URL found on your Exhibitor Registration Dashboard. After five uses, the URL will no longer be valid.
After clicking on the URL, the Expo guest will go through the registration process including logging in with their AIHA credentials or creating a profile.
Exhibitors are not permitted to collect Expo Guest Passes. The Expo Guest must pick up their own badge on-site and follow all AIHA Connect protocols outlined during the registration process.
Questions? Contact Alison Daniels
Be cautious if dealing with any housing companies or services that imply or claim an affiliation with AIHA Connect other than Maritz, the official AIHA Connect housing company. Unauthorized travel companies are often illegitimate, and most do not deliver as promised. Reservations made through an agency other than Maritz will be at your own risk.
Additionally, AIHA Connect does not sell or provide attendee lists to any sales companies. Offers to provide the contact information for previous conferences are fraudulent. For AIHA's full privacy policy, visit Privacy Policy.
We recommend reviewing the list of Official AIHA Connect Publications and Contractors before responding to any solicitations you may receive.
