💻 4. EBO, registration and badges
The Exhibitor Back Office (EBO) is where you manage your company profile, badges and visitor invitations. Registration opens in October 2026.
Getting access. Once your co-exhibitor registration is complete, ISE sends your main contact the EBO login details (from service@mapyourshow.com). New this year: logins are personal. Your main contact adds colleagues under Users in the EBO.
In the EBO you can:
- Update your company information and logo (deadline 7 January 2027)
- Register booth personnel and download exhibitor badges
- Share your invitation code with customers
- See Online Leads: who viewed your profile, added you to their agenda or shared their contact details. Free for all exhibitors this year.
- Order additional ISE services (invoiced via KNX)
Registering your team. Open the "Registering for ISE 2027" widget in the EBO. Register people one by one, or use Import Staff to invite your whole team at once. A printed badge is required for everyone; download it from the confirmation email. Lost it? Resend it from your myISE account or the ISE 2027 app.
Inviting visitors. Copy the code or link from the "Exhibitor Invitation Code" widget and send it to your guests. Customised invitation cards are back this year. Guests who need a visa invitation letter can download it from their myISE account.

🚚 5. Shipping and official suppliers
Watch out for fraudulent emails from companies posing as ISE suppliers. Official suppliers carry the ISE Official Supplier logo; the full list is here: ISE 2027 Official Suppliers.
Shipping with CEVA. CEVA Showfreight is ISE's only official freight and lifting contractor. Book by 9 January 2027.
- New warehouse address this year: use the address in the 2027 shipping instructions on every shipment.
- Goods must reach the warehouse, customs cleared, at least 3 days before booth delivery. Later arrivals pay a 30% priority surcharge.
- ISE advises against courier services: goods over 10 kg and €40 in value need a Spanish importer of record. CEVA can recommend a partner in your region.
- Using your own courier anyway? Make sure they can deliver to the booth by Sunday 31 January.
