APPLICATION
Participating in a shared booth significantly reduces the cost of an international exhibition as the Utah booth fee is just $500. Because individual exhibition spaces are limited, potential attendees will go through a competitive application process. Those selected will be determined based on the following criteria:
A company must be eligible to receive the SBA STEP Grant. Beginning on October 1, 2024, small businesses can apply for the SBA STEP Grant through World Trade Center Utah. Approved companies will receive funding to offset travel and lodging costs. The grant can NOT be used to cover the WTC Utah booth fee. All grant awards require a 25% cash match by the recipient.
Companies must have an export-ready product or service and a plan to grow global revenue through show attendance.
Companies must meet all application deadlines.
Selected registrants must attend all orientation sessions before the trade show.
Application Instructions
