Welcome
Dear Exhibitors:

Welcome to the 2021 Academy Sports and Outdoors Bassmaster Classic Outdoors Expo presented by HUK.

On behalf of B.A.S.S., I want to thank you for your participation in the 51st Bassmaster Classic and we are grateful that you decided to be a part of the biggest expo in
freshwater fishing as we venture again to the great state of Texas.

Success is making sure your peers are set for success. That is why we continue to improve our Exhibitor Kit. You will notice some additional changes, including more
detailed contact information so you know who to talk to for each subject as well as a COVID-19 FAQ page. We hope you find this is as a go-to document you can
continue to reference to help navigate your way through the entire exhibitor experience. We understand that a show of this size does require a well-choreographed
set-up and tear down and participation from all parties. This kit explains in detail all of the rules and regulations of the show as well as commonly asked questions. I
insist that you to read this thoroughly as there are many details that will affect each exhibitor in our unremitting effort to improve safety.

The following are some of the key items in the 2021 E-Kit to note:

•   Pay special attention to the Rules and Regulations starting on page 9. Several important rules are highlighted in that section. Let us know if you have any questions.

•   Credentials will be requested on the Map Your Show exhibitor dashboard. In order to improve safety and the overall set-up experience for everyone involved, each
    10x10 booth is allowed 5 credentials. Please see page 14 for additional details.

•   I am pleased to say that we have chosen GES as our design company. Please pay special attention to all of their order forms and due dates. Carpet will be
    mandatory for all exhibitors except for those in the Round Up Inn Ballroom. The forms are available online at www.bassmaster.com/expo.

    www.bassmaster.com.

 not need a credential.

 Credential Pickup Desk to leave at Will Call Station.
