RULES & REGS: I/We agree to abide by the rules and regulations (see below) made by the Home Builders Association of Durham, Orange, & Chatham Counties (HBADOC), and the facility in which the event is being held.

BUILDER INCENTIVE: In order to encourage MORE builders to attend and visit your booth, we suggest you hand out coupons to builders that visit your booth. These coupons can be a discount for products and services you offer or some other incentive. Please let us know about your incentive and we will use it in our promotions to builders. These should be “ONE NIGHT ONLY” offers.

We will also have a Bingo Game for Builders. Each booth will be randomly assigned a number. Builders will get a Bingo card upon entry to the expo and visit booths to get Bingo. Once they do, they turn their card in at a designated area for a chance to win a Yeti Cooler.

Sign us up! We understand booths are $450 and includes two (2) representatives AND one spot in the Associate Education Session from 1-2 pm (before booth setup). We are a current HBADOC Member and qualify for member pricing (Non-Members may be eligible to participate as space allows for an additional fee of $100).
