WARNING - Beware of Hotel Booking Scams!

Some exhibitors have alerted us about receiving unsolicited phone calls regarding hotel bookings and paying in advance. Do NOT engage with these unsolicited scam calls and take all precautions to protect yourself and your business. PRGE will never contact you with unsolicited offers and we will never hand out your information. Please be safe out there!
Our official PRGE hotel block will go live soon.

About our Exhibitor Packages

While most trade show booths are only accessible from the front, many of our booths are accessible from at least three sides. We include a generous 4 or more feet of space between adjacent booths to maximize frontage available to attendees. All of our exhibitor spaces include clothed tables in the price. Further, booths that are back-to-back with another row of exhibitors include a half-drape wall and full-height pipe for hanging signage. For stand-alone booths, pipe and stands are available for hanging signage/banners. Electrical power is not included with any booth, but can be ordered directly from the Oregon Convention Center for an additional fee.

Exhibitor Badges

Each exhibitor package contains a fixed number of exhibitor badges (see above). These badges grant the bearer access to the show hall during all pre- and post-show hours. Additional exhibitor badges are available for purchase. Exhibitors may also choose to purchase standard attendee badges at the time they pay for their exhibitor package. Contact the vendor coordinator for details.

Food Vending

The Oregon Convention Center assesses a catering buy-out fee for vendors selling prepared food or beverages. PRGE has nothing to do with this fee. Please contact us prior to the event for details and we will connect you with OCC for a fee schedule.

Electrical Access

Electrical power is not included with any booth, but can be ordered directly from the Oregon Convention Center for an additional fee.

Wifi Internet Access

Paid wifi internet access is available for a daily fee through the Oregon Convention Center. To sign up, connect to the "OCC WiFi" wireless network (SSID) - available facility wide. Once connected, open a web browser, choose a plan and click the 'Buy Now' button to begin the purchasing process. If you depend on internet access for your payment processing or other aspects of your business while at PRGE, it is recommended that you purchase the "business class" package ($50 per day). In our experience, the "basic" package ($12 per day) is unreliable for business-critical applications. PRGE does not have any stake in the internet services sold at the Convention Center.

Fire Code

The Portland fire code specifies certain rules for exhibitors at the convention center. All exhibitors should familiarize themselves the Oregon Convention Center's Fire Marshall Guide. Exhibitors should ensure all of their equipment and merchandise remains within the boundarys of their designated exhibitor space. At no time may an exhibitor obstruct an aisle in the show hall. Booths with complete or partial covers/roofs will be inspected by the Fire Marshall and exhibitors should be prepared to affect changes at the Marshall's request.

Regulations Regarding Reproduction Video Games

The following items may not be sold at PRGE:

  1. No North American released game may be sold as a reproduction unless there are major changes in the coding very early in the game play.
  2. Reproductions of games from other regions should be specifically in a North American cartridge shell.
  3. No optical disc-based reproductions of North American games may be sold that do not require a modified or developer system to play.
  4. Reproduction games on optical media discs must have "REPRODUCTION" somewhere easily noticeable in the image of the disc label.

Penalties for violating the merchandise rules include a request to remove the offending items from your vendor area up to revocation of your permission to exhibit at PRGE and removal of your merchandise and staff from the show hall.


Exhibitor Setup

The exhibition hall will be open for vendor setup or load-in during the following hours:

  • 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM on Thursday, September 26, 2024
  • 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM on Friday, September 27, 2024
  • 6:00 AM to 9:00 AM on Saturday, September 28, 2024
  • 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM on Sunday, September 29, 2024
The part of the exhibition hall that is open for attendees during Friday is NOT available for vendor setup during those hours! If you are a Three-Day Weekend vendor (including Friday) then your setup must be completed by Friday noon!
For security reasons, exhibitors will NOT be allowed in the exhibitor hall prior to 8:00 AM on Sunday.

PLEASE NOTE: The arcade portion of the Expo will be open to the public on Friday, September 27 during the vendor setup period. It will be separated from the exhibitor hall by an air wall until Saturday morning when the wall will be opened to conjoin the arcade and exhibitor halls into one. Once you have completed your booth setup on Friday, your exhibitor badge will grant you access to the arcade side of the show up until 10:00pm.

Exhibitors may also choose to set up on the day of the show. The exhibition hall will open for exhibitors at 6:00 AM on Saturday. All setup must be completed by the time the doors open at 9:00 AM.

All exhibitors must check in upon arrival to receive your table assignment and badges prior to unloading. If you have any questions about vendor setup, please contact rick@retrogamingexpo.com.

Only show staff and exhibitors will be permitted in the show hall prior to 9:00 AM on Saturday when the show hall officially opens to presale ticket holders. Attendees who purchase tickets at the door will be permitted into the show at 9:00 AM.

Blocking visibility of other exhibitors with merchandise or signage is prohibited.


Important Note To All Vendors and Exhibitors

Vendors and exhibitors are required to be completely set up by 9:00 AM on Saturday morning.

It is unsafe for exhibitors to load in their booth after the doors have opened. If you absolutely can't be set up by 9:00 AM, please contact the PRGE staff ahead of time to work something out. We will do our best to accommodate you at our discretion. There will be no refunds for late or no-show vendors and we reserve the right to reallocate your space in the event of a no-show.
