If you need exhibitor data from other events, explore our exhibitor data services to find event-specific lists for your prospecting and outreach campaigns.
Post-show follow-up: Close the loop with exhibitors your team didn’t reach across nearly 350 sessions and a packed expo floor.
Confirmed data over pre-show forecasts: A list built from who actually exhibited is more reliable than one built from advance registration data.
Getting ahead of AIA27: Booth sales for the 2027 Philadelphia edition are already open. Many companies that exhibited in San Diego are likely to return — starting outreach now, using this year’s confirmed contacts, puts you ahead of the 2027 pre-show cycle.
| Exhibitor List | Attendee List | |
|---|---|---|
| Who’s in it | Companies that exhibited at AIA Conference 2026 | Architects and design professionals who attended |
| Best for | Selling to exhibiting brands — booth services, logistics, marketing for building product companies | Selling directly to architects, firm principals, and specifiers |
| Typical use case | Vendor sales, co-marketing, partnership outreach | Direct lead generation to architecture and design decision-makers |

How ExhibitionData Verifies Contact Data
ExhibitionData creates each AIA Conference list on demand, rather than supplying a pre-made database. We use our own sources and research tools to identify relevant companies and contacts based on your specific requirements.
Email addresses go through a double verification process using email verification tools followed by manual checking. This additional review helps us identify and remove inaccurate or unsuitable contact information before the customized list is delivered.
Don’t let the expo floor be the only place you connect with the architecture and design industry. Get verified AIA Conference 2026 exhibitor contacts now, ahead of AIA27 in Philadelphia.
