Outdoor exhibit space at HPBExpo27, on its own or paired with an indoor booth, lets you demonstrate your appliances live, with real fuel and real results, in front of the dealers and retailers who sell them.
A spec sheet can describe heat output. A booth photo can show a finish. Neither can show a buyer what happens when your product is lit. The Outdoor Burn gives you room to do what an indoor booth cannot: run your appliances with live fuel, cook on them, and let attendees see, smell, and taste the results.
Outdoor exhibitors demonstrate live-action appliances throughout the show. Buyers watch ignition, heat, and cooking performance firsthand and ask questions while the product is running: a stronger case for stocking it than a static display.
Propane, charcoal, pellets, and wood are all burned at the Outdoor Burn. Show real-time results on the fuel your customers will use and give dealers the firsthand knowledge they need to sell it.
Grill demonstrations come with samples. Handing a dealer something cooked on your grill starts a conversation and gives them a reason to stay at your space.
The Outdoor Burn includes a Biergarten, where attendees grab a drink, take a seat, and peruse the outdoor booths, along with a game of cornhole. Attendees come outside to relax and connect, and your demonstration is part of what they see, smell, and talk about.
The Outdoor Burn is on the Marty Dickens Terrace, right next to the Music City Center along Rep. John Lewis Way S. Attendees move freely between the third-floor indoor show floor and the street-level Outdoor Burn throughout the day, and outdoor hours match indoor hours. HPBExpo badges are required for both exhibit areas, so the people at your space are registered show attendees.
Outdoor exhibits go on rain or shine. Plan your space, product protection, and staff gear for any conditions.
Read the requirements for burning and cooking before you plan your display.
Raw proteins for your demos are ordered through the Omni Nashville Hotel.
Terrace spaces are available in 10x10, 10x20, or 20x20 (no trailers, vehicles, or products over 500 lbs.). Street-level trailer spaces are available in 10x20, 10x30, or 10x40.
Outdoor space is very limited and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. To reserve outdoor exhibit space or learn about pricing and deadlines, contact exhibits@hpba.org.
