Exhibitor Resource Center
If you are a Border Security Expo 2026 exhibitor, use the resources below to prepare for the event — from key deadlines and hotel accommodations to marketing tools and service information.
If you are unable to locate what you are looking for, please contact the BSE team for assistance.
Exhibitor Resource Center
The Exhibitor Resource Center is your primary hub for managing all exhibitor-related activity before, during, and after the Expo. Exhibitor fulfillment contacts submitted with your 2026 BSE Contract each receive their own unique and personalized access link (no password required) after the contract has been accepted and countersigned by the BSE team. If you need that link re-sent to you, contact operations@bordersecurityevents.com or sales@bordersecurtiyevents.com
Once logged in, exhibitors can access:
-
Exhibitor Service Kit and order forms
-
Exhibitor badges and registration details
-
Company profile submissions used for the Official BSE 26 App
-
Contracts, invoices, and payments
-
Sponsorship details and deliverables
We strongly recommend bookmarking your unique link and checking it early and often to see any updates made by the BSE team, review requirements, and meet all deadlines.
