Glossary

1

Home show

A consumer-facing exhibition where local and regional home improvement companies present products, services, and live demonstrations under one roof. At the Jacksonville Home Show, visitors typically compare remodelers, roofing, windows, kitchens, baths, flooring, HVAC, outdoor living, and financing in a single walk-through.

2

Consumer home show

An event open to homeowners and renters rather than only to trade buyers. Exhibitors expect project questions, measurements, photos, and same-day quote requests instead of bulk purchase orders.

3

Exhibitor booth

The assigned floor space where a company displays samples, brochures, demonstrations, and consultation tables. Booth sizes and corner or island positions are usually confirmed in the exhibitor contract.

4

A diagram showing exhibitor locations, aisle numbers, entrances, restrooms, seminar areas, and food or rest areas. Organisers often publish a version before the show and a final version on site.
