What Exhibitors Need to Know About Booths at TAS 2026 in Las Vegas

The Aesthetic Show (TAS) returns to the Wynn Las Vegas from June 25–28, 2026, for its 19th edition. As one of the most influential multispecialty events in aesthetic medicine, TAS draws more than 2,000 attendees and over 175 exhibitors, including dermatologists, plastic and cosmetic surgeons, nurse injectors, practice owners, and the brands building the next generation of devices, injectables, and regenerative therapies.

Unlike a typical convention center trade show, TAS is hosted entirely inside a luxury resort. That single fact changes almost everything about how you plan a booth, ship freight, install your exhibit, and operate during show hours. Wynn Las Vegas has its own meeting-space rules, loading dock procedures, and union jurisdictions, and TAS layers its own exhibitor deadlines on top of that. Exhibitors who treat it like a standard Las Vegas Convention Center event almost always run into avoidable issues.

Below is what your team needs to know before, during, and after TAS 2026 to keep your exhibit on schedule and on brand.

What Makes The Aesthetic Show Different

The audience at TAS is small, senior, and highly transactional. Attendees are clinical decision-makers and practice owners who can sign off on a $150,000 device or a multi-year injectable supply agreement on the show floor. That changes how a booth should function.

A few things to keep in mind as you plan:

• Hands-on is the expectation. TAS isn’t a “walk by and grab a brochure” show. Beyond the exhibit hall, the event runs hour-long Treatment Room sessions where attendees experience products firsthand. Booths that mirror that energy with live demos, product trials, or treatment chairs tend to outperform static displays.
• The Integrative Aesthetics Center is its own zone. This dedicated hub inside the exhibit hall spotlights regenerative medicine, biologics, exosomes, collagen stimulators, and AI-driven aesthetic technologies. If your product fits that category, the placement and design of your booth should reflect that you belong there.
• The atmosphere is upscale, not industrial. TAS is held at the Wynn for a reason. Attendees expect the exhibit hall to feel like an extension of the resort, not a warehouse. Clean lines, quality finishes, and good lighting matter more here than at most Las Vegas trade shows.
• Networking happens after hours. The Aesthetic Awards Gala and evening receptions drive a lot of the deal-making. Your booth staff schedule should account for early starts the morning after late nights.

Before the Show: Venue and Exhibitor Specifics

Wynn Las Vegas is one of the most exhibitor-friendly luxury venues in the city, but it operates on tighter parameters than a purpose-built convention center. Knowing those parameters early prevents expensive surprises.

The Exhibitor Prospectus and Service Manual

TAS publishes an Expo Prospectus and a full Exhibitor Service Manual through its event portal. Together, these are the source of truth for booth dimensions, height restrictions, hanging sign rules, drayage rates, electrical ordering, internet, lead retrieval, and freight deadlines.

A few things consistently catch first-time TAS exhibitors off guard:

• Height restrictions are stricter at the Wynn than at most LVCC halls. Inline booth back walls and island booth structures both have ceilings to respect. Confirm yours before finalizing any custom build.
• Hanging signs require advance approval and rigging orders. These deadlines hit early, and missing them often means going without the sign or paying expedited rates.
• Carpet, furniture, and AV typically must come through the show’s official contractor or an approved EAC. If you plan to bring your own exhibit house, you’ll need to file the Exhibitor Appointed Contractor paperwork by the published deadline.

Key Deadlines to Track

TAS enforces its exhibitor schedule strictly. The deadlines that most often cause problems are:

• Booth space contracts and final payments
• Exhibitor Appointed Contractor (EAC) submissions
• Electrical, internet, and rigging orders (advance pricing windows close weeks before move-in)
• Hanging sign approvals and rigging diagrams
• Lead retrieval registration
• Booth staff badge registration
• Hotel block cutoff at the Wynn (rooms in the discounted block release in early June or earlier if sold out)

Late orders almost always cost more, and in some cases, services are simply not available once advance windows close.

Booth Design That Fits the Audience

Aesthetic medicine is a visual industry. The brands attendees recognize from injectable conferences, social media, and KOL panels set the tone for what a booth should look like, and a flat back wall with a logo no longer cuts it.

Designs that tend to perform well at TAS share a few traits:

• Backlit fabric walls or illuminated logos that read clean from across the hall
• Demo or treatment stations integrated into the booth footprint, not bolted on as an afterthought
• Comfortable seating areas for one-on-one consultations, since most real conversations at TAS are sit-down conversations
• Product display walls or shelving designed to handle bottles, devices, or sample units without looking like retail
• Lighting that flatters skin and product, not fluorescent washouts

For most exhibitors, a 10×10 inline booth is the entry point, a 10×20 gives room for a meeting area plus product display, and a 20×20 or larger custom island opens up the option for treatment chairs, multi-zone demos, or a full hospitality setup.

During the Show: Logistics at the Wynn

Move-In and Hall Access

TAS publishes assigned move-in windows based on booth size and location. The Wynn’s loading dock has limited capacity compared to a convention center, so dock scheduling is enforced, and freight that arrives outside its window can sit for hours.

Your on-site lead should arrive with:

• The booth installation drawing and graphic placement guide
• Confirmation numbers for electrical, internet, and any rigging orders
• Freight tracking numbers and carrier contacts
• Direct contact information for your booth builder or installation crew
• A printed copy of the EAC certificate of insurance, if you’re using one

Union Labor and Wynn Procedures

Las Vegas is a union town, and the Wynn is no exception. Booth installation, dismantling, and freight handling fall under union jurisdiction, with limited exhibitor-permitted activities (small hand-carried items, simple pop-up displays under specific size thresholds). If your booth is custom or modular and requires more than a couple of people to assemble, you will need labor.

Coordinating that labor through a partner who works at the Wynn regularly is faster than ordering blind through forms. Crews who already know the venue, the freight elevators, and the show’s floor managers move significantly faster than those who don’t.

Staffing the Booth

TAS exhibit hours are concentrated, and the floor gets busy fast during scheduled breaks between sessions. Plan staff coverage so that:

• At least one clinically credentialed person is at the booth during peak hours, since attendees often want to ask physician-to-physician questions
• A separate person owns lead capture, so it doesn’t get dropped during demos
• Demo and treatment stations are staffed continuously during open hours

After the Show: Teardown and Next Year

Teardown Rules

TAS does not allow early dismantling. Booths come down only after the exhibit hall officially closes on the final day. Early teardown looks unprofessional to attendees still on the floor, and it can affect your relationship with the show for future years.

Once teardown begins, the Wynn’s freight schedule again becomes the constraint. Your dismantle crew, return shipping labels, and carrier pickup window all need to align, or your crates sit in the marshaling yard.

Storage Between Shows

Many exhibitors at TAS also do AmSpa, Vegas Cosmetic Surgery, IMCAS, and similar events throughout the year. Shipping a custom booth back to a corporate office between every Las Vegas show is expensive and rarely necessary. Local storage in Las Vegas, with a partner who can pull your assets, refresh graphics, and redeliver to the next venue, almost always costs less and protects the exhibit better.

Tips to Make TAS 2026 Run Smoothly

• Use the Exhibitor Prospectus and Service Manual as your master planning document, not a reference
• Book your Wynn room block early, since the discounted rate releases on June 1 or when the block sells out
• Lock in advance pricing for electrical, internet, and rigging well ahead of the deadline
• Decide early whether you’re going custom, modular, or rental, and let that drive your timeline
• Build hands-on engagement into the booth itself, not as something you tack on later
• Plan staff schedules around late-night networking and early-morning sessions
• Coordinate freight carriers carefully, since the Wynn’s dock is not a convention-hall loading bay
