Last checked: October 2026
HR Tech 2027 returns to the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas October 26 to 28. In 2026, the show ran there October 20 to 22, with the expo in Bayside Halls B, C, and D. Plan the overhead elements of an HR Tech trade show booth first, because Mandalay Bay limits who can rig them.
Bayside hall ceilings and freight doors
Each of the three Bayside halls HR Tech used in 2026 has a 30-foot ceiling and a live floor load of 350 pounds per square foot. Bayside A to D share 11 freight doors, each 15 feet wide by 24 feet high, of which five are drive-in and six are at dock height.
Mandalay Bay rigging, services, and fire rules
Under Mandalay Bay’s rules, a show’s general service contractor (GSC) may hang only non-electrical signs under 200 pounds (the venue’s planning guide says 200 pounds or less; its August 2025 vendor policy says under 200 pounds, in concrete areas only). Signs of 200 pounds or more go to Encore Event Technologies, Mandalay Bay’s exclusive provider of rigging and power equipment. Confirm who rigs a lit sign with the show and the venue. Electrical, plumbing, gas, compressed air, and internet service are also exclusive to the venue, and Mandalay Bay cleaning services are required in all exhibit space. Exhibitors and their contractors may not install monitors, ground-supported video walls, or LED walls in concrete areas, or assemble ground-supported lighting and truss. Contractors working at Mandalay Bay must carry general liability coverage of $3,000,000 per occurrence on carpet and $5,000,000 on concrete, with Mandalay Bay, LLC named as an additional insured.
Booth construction must meet Mandalay Bay’s fire marshal rules. Foam plastic elements thicker than 1/4 inch are not permitted, although fire-resistant foam board signs up to 1/2 inch thick are acceptable. A covered booth over 1,000 square feet needs an interior automatic sprinkler system, with its own permit, if it stands for more than seven days or holds vehicles, open flame, or hot work. A multilevel booth with an upper level over 300 square feet needs two remote exits.
Demo space and the Startup Program
HR Tech exhibitors are solution providers selling to HR and business leaders, and the 2026 expo featured demo sessions, an AI Playground, and new product launches. Plan screens for live product demos and enough open floor for a small group to watch one without blocking the aisle.
The Startup Program package gives a startup a branded kiosk in a prominent location and a one-on-one session with HR Tech’s investor advisor. It also includes an invitation to compete in Pitchfest, an exhibitor directory listing, and two Expo passes.
