Logos and sayings on apparel must be in good taste. Show Management reserves the right to make determinations on appropriate apparel.

Yes. If you arrive onsite and for any reason do not have your badge, you may have it reprinted onsite one time only for a fee of $100 USD per badge. The fee for reprinting a Non-Exhibiting Company (NEC), Financial Investment Company (FIN), Manufacturer/Supplier/Buyer (MSB) and Vehicle Manufacturer, OEM (VMO) is $399 USD per badge. You may not have anyone else's badge reprinted onsite but your own. You will need to present an official, government-issued photo ID (like a passport or driver's license) that must match the name in your registration record.

No one may pre-register for a Feature Vehicle badge. Feature Vehicle badges are not mailed pre-show. Each Featured Vehicle is entitled to a maximum of two badges at $75 USD each, and registration must be done onsite when you arrive at the Las Vegas Convention Center. When you check in your vehicle, you will receive a special registration form which you must complete and take to Exhibitor Registration to register up to two registrants, maximum, per vehicle. (Spouses are included in the two.)

You must register before the visa letter can be sent, and the letter may only be made for the individual's name and company name in their registration record. Invite letters are sent via email instantaneously as a bounce back to the email address you provide during registration. Emailed, printed-out copies of the visa letter are acceptable.
