ITW 2027Exhibitor guide: booth costs, dates and deadlines

ITW 2027 runs Monday, May 10 to Thursday, May 13, 2027, per the organizer. The exhibit floor days and hours for 2027 are not confirmed yet. ITW 2026 ran at the same resort, which the organizer's testimonials page calls the Gaylord National Harbor Convention Center.

ITW 2027 is at Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center on Waterfront Street in National Harbor, Maryland, on the Potomac River about 20 minutes from downtown Washington, D.C. Registered delegates can request a visa support letter from the ITW team.

ITW stands for International Telecoms Week, the annual meeting of the wholesale telecoms and digital infrastructure industry. Its 2027 tagline is about connectivity and digital infrastructure converging to power the AI era, and it is part of techoraco, with the Capacity Media team running sales.

ITW expects 6,000 decision-makers in 2027, with 63% at Director level or above, from more than 100 countries, per the organizer. It also cites 42,000+ connections made. The 2026 edition in National Harbor brought thousands of attendees, including carriers, hyperscalers and government bodies.

ITW does not publish prices for stands, meeting rooms or suites; its sales team quotes them with the sponsorship brochure. For the build, our 10×20 rental runs $7,500 to $15,000 and a custom 20×20 $50,000 to $120,000; meeting rooms cost less in structure and more in furniture and AV.

ITW sells six formats: an Exhibition Stand, a Branded Meeting Room, a Hybrid Stand that combines a stand and a meeting space, a Premium Meeting Lounge, a Hotel Meeting Room and a Meeting Suite. The organizer reports 410+ private meeting rooms and 300+ companies in the Global Innovation Arena.

The 2027 exhibitor list names companies such as Airtel Business, Ekinops Corporation, MDC Data Centers, IPv4.Global by Hilco Global, Omnion Power, Telin and Digitalk, with 120+ exhibitors expected. Sponsors include AT&T Business, T-Wholesale, Equinix, Lumen Technologies, Nokia, Verizon and Zayo.

ITW is part of techoraco Limited, based at 4 Bouverie Street, London. Event and exhibition enquiries go through the Capacity Media team, at itwsales@capacitymedia.com for stands and meeting space and marketing@capacitymedia.com for general questions.

ITW is a paid business event for the telecoms and digital infrastructure industry; attendees buy a pass and many arrive with booked meetings. The audience is carriers, network and data-center companies, hyperscalers, investors and public-sector regulators, not consumers.

The Global Innovation Arena is ITW's exhibition area, where the organizer says 300+ companies show products and services. A stand there suits technology vendors who need walk-up demos between meetings; a hybrid stand adds a private meeting space to the same footprint.

We plan Gaylord National freight at roughly 70 per hundredweight for 2026 and 2027, with a 200-pound minimum, from Purple's venue guide. The official contractor's ITW kit sets the actual rate. Because the resort is all carpet and meeting-room levels, we pack light, compact crates to keep handling down.

We build branded meeting rooms, hybrid stands and suites for ITW: freestanding wall graphics, branded tables, counters, lighting and screens. We ship to National Harbor, coordinate Mid-Atlantic labor under our own project manager and pack out after your last meeting on May 13.

ITW is worth it when you sell capacity, connectivity, data-center space or network technology to carriers and hyperscalers, because buyers come to hold meetings, not browse. With 63% of attendees at Director level or above, per ITW, a well-run meeting room often fills its calendar before the show.

Gaylord National Resort has 2,000 rooms on site, and ITW's 2027 hotel block is not confirmed yet. Reagan National Airport (DCA) is about 20 minutes from the resort, per Purple's venue guide, so many delegates stay on property and walk to their meetings.
