FDIC week is full of training, resources, and information. Between classroom sessions, Hands-On Training, and time on the exhibit floor, your schedule fills up fast. The exhibit hall is open for a limited window, so knowing where to go ahead of time makes a difference. 

This year, Bullard is bringing new gear, hands-on experiences, and a few things you won’t see anywhere else on the floor. 

Here’s a clear look at when to find Bullard, where to go, and what’s new. 

FDIC Exhibit Hall Hours 

The FDIC exhibits are open:  

• Thursday: 11:00 AM – 5:30 PM  
• Friday: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM  
• Saturday: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM  

Where to Find Bullard 

Bullard will be in two locations this year: 

📍 Indoor Booth #1923

In the outdoor training and demo area 

Both booths offer very different experiences, so it’s worth planning time for each.
