Early Bird Pricing Deadline: October 1st, 2025 (20% Surcharge for Onsite Orders)

ShowTech Online Ordering Portal
Ordering Instructions:
Please create an account if you have not ordered with ShowTech before.
Early Bird Deadline: October 3, 2025
Why Order Early?
Ordering power in advance saves you money. Pricing increases significantly the closer we get to move-in:
Advance: Discount pricing available until 3 weeks before move-in.
Standard: Higher rates apply once the advance deadline has passed.
On-Site: The most expensive option, available only during move-in.
💡 For example, in 2025 the basic outlet pricing increased from $230 (advance) to $396 (on-site). This shows why we strongly recommend ordering before the deadline to avoid higher costs.
