Exhibitor Logistics Main Contact
If you are the main contact who should be receiving all logistics communications for CFX and haven’t received any emails from us, please contact Stephanie Lippi (slippi@churchfacilitiesexpo.com) ASAP to ensure you’re all set for CFX 2026.
Hotel Information
The official CFX hotel is the Sheraton Birmingham Hotel, attached to the convention center. Rooms are filling up fast, so don’t miss your chance!
Please remember we will NEVER ask you to book through any other company other than what’s posted here on our website. If you receive a phone call or email from anyone asking you to book through them, DO NOT BOOK THERE! They are scammers; please send their information to us immediately.
Exhibitor FAQs
We know you may have questions about the details of being an exhibitor at the CFX 2026 event. We want you to be fully informed and well taken care of as you partner with us.
Still don’t see the answer to your question? Contact Stephanie Lippi.
Parking & General Conference Info
CFX 2026 will be located at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Center located in Birmingham, AL.
Parking rates are $20/day, no reentry. See below for additional information on parking.
Collaborative Social Posts
Instagram’s option to have one social post shared collaboratively on two different accounts is a great way to help spread the word! As we begin sharing exhibitor highlights on our social media accounts, we’d like to amp things up for a greater reach.
If you receive an Instagram DM requesting your permission to collaboratively post something we’re sharing onto your account also, all you have to do is click “Accept” and it will cross post on both accounts!
If you choose not to accept it, our feelings won’t be hurt, but we will be sad about all the people in your network who may miss hearing about your participation at CFX 2026.
Promo Videos
We would love to help you create videos to share with your network and with ours, promoting your session at CFX!
Just click on the link, follow the prompts, hit record (it’s okay if you mess up, just keep going…we’ll take care of the editing), then submit your video! We’ll get it edited and sent back to you to share with your networks.
Marketing Information
Please help spread the word to your networks about CFX and your participation as an exhibitor!
Use promo code EXHIBITOR to invite your connections to meet with you at CFX with a free Expo Only Pass.
We’ve also created special marketing guidelines and some suggested copy for social media that you can use. Check it out now!

Attendee Lists
Per our policy, we do not provide attendee lists for exhibitors pre- or post-show. If you receive a message from someone trying to sell attendee lists to you, this is a SCAM and you should not respond.
The exception to attendee lists is for sponsors; we will send you the leads from the deliverables listed in your sponsorship agreement after the show is over.
Networking Reception – You’re Invited!
Our attendees love networking opportunities, and they would love to network with you! We invite you to attend our Networking Reception held on Tuesday, September 15th from 5:45 – 6:45 PM. Located in the Lobby (near Registration), this is your opportunity to connect with attendees, presenters, and of course…other exhibitors. Light hors d’oeuvres and beverages will be available (cash bar for additional beverages).
Show Magazine – Show Directory Ads
Our Show Magazine is a great resource that every attendee goes home with. In the Show Magazine are opportunities for companies to advertise.
Interested in advertising? Contact Laura McDermott today to get your ad included. Deadline to submit ad opportunities is July 31st.
There is also a very limited number of opportunities to write an article with an ad included. If you’re interested in this opportunity, contact Stephanie Lippi. Deadline to submit an article is July 3rd.
