CES Exhibitor Dashboard User Guide

ACCESSING THE EXHIBITOR DASHBOARD

How to Access Exhibitor Dashboard

Visit https://ces26.exh.mapyourshow.com/ to access the Exhibitor Dashboard and log in using your CTA/CES Account credentials.

• If you need help with your account, visit the CTA/CES Account FAQs and follow the support steps.

Exhibitor Dashboard access is granted to an exhibiting company's Primary Contact one (1) business day after the exhibit space contract is countersigned by CTA. Prior to that, a Primary Contact who tries to access the Exhibitor Dashboard may receive an error message indicating that your account is not currently associated with an active exhibitor record.

Exhibitor Dashboard access information is emailed from the sender service@mapyourshow.com; check your spam / junk folders.

If it has been longer than one (1) business day since the contract was countersigned and you have not yet received this email or if you continue to receive an error message, contact CES Exhibitor Support at ExhibitorSupport@CTA.tech.

• Tip: You can verify that your contract has been countersigned by checking your email for a verification email from Docusign.

Other types of dashboard users, such as Secondary Contacts, Registration Coordinator, PR Contact, and others, will receive an email about Dashboard Access from the same sender (service@mapyourshow.com) when they are added to the Dashboard. For more information, refer to the USER section of this document.

Who Has Access to Exhibitor Dashboard

The CES 2026 Exhibit Space Contract's Primary Contact will receive initial access to the Exhibitor Dashboard. The Primary Contact may assign additional Exhibitor Dashboard users. See the USER section of this document for details.

To update your company's Primary Contact, you must contact CES Exhibitor Support at ExhibitorSupport@CTA.tech.

The following pages walk you through each section of the Exhibitor Dashboard.

HOME SCREEN

Your company name and booth number appear at the top of the home screen on your dashboard.

If your company name is misspelled or your booth number appears to be incorrect, contact CES Exhibitor Support at ExhibitorSupport@CTA.tech to update.

Image Description: The CES 2026 Exhibitor Dashboard home screen displays the company name and booth number. Key sections include "Complete Your Company Profile" (with links for Description, Logo, Product Categories, Exhibitor Scheduled Events) and "Exhibitor Directory Metrics" showing Overall Rank, Views, Leads, and Clicks. Navigation links on the left include Home, Checklist, Resources, Users, and Leads.

USERS

Once logged in to the Exhibitor Dashboard, the Primary Contact should assign or reassign the remaining dashboard user roles according to your team's needs.

Select Users from the left-side navigation.

Select the contact role you would like to assign.

Image Description: The "Manage Users" screen within the Exhibitor Dashboard outlines different user roles: Primary Contact (responsible for overall relationship and email communications), Secondary Contact (manages dashboard communications), Registration Coordinator (manages exhibitor personnel registration), PR Contact (main contact for PR and media), and Additional Users (grant dashboard access for other team members).

• Registration Coordinator is a required role and MUST be reassigned if the Primary Contact does not manage registration.
• Only the Registration Coordinator has access to the Registration Dashboard and registration features. The Registration Coordinator is unable to change company information or manage users unless they are assigned additional roles.
• Important: if no Registration Coordinator is assigned, this will default to the Primary Contact.

All other user roles listed below are optional; however, assigning additional users and roles to your dashboard will help with management during the season.

• Secondary Contact can make changes to the company information, review checklist items, and assign or reassign additional user roles.
• PR Contact will receive access to the Media List when it is released to exhibitors. Follow the prompts within the Exhibitor Dashboard once this is released (December 1, 2025).
• Additional Users may be added to support Exhibitor Dashboard management tasks, such as uploading assets and reviewing checklist items. These users are not permitted to assign or reassign other individuals.
