Move-In Pass : Is necessary for both the North Loading Dock and the North Hand-Carried Freight move-in areas, simplest move-in experience. We will be calling you to determine your time of move-in. After requesting your time, we will send you a move-in pass for your vehicle with your specific move-in day and time printed on it. This pass will be required to access the North loading dock and hand-carried freight elevators. Your pass will be sent to you two weeks prior to the Show. You will be turned away from the loading dock if you arrive prior to your appointed move-in time. Please help us make the move-in process as smooth as possible by adhering to your move-in time.

North Loading Dock Arrangements; pass required: The loading dock is for off-loading and loading only. You will be required to leave your keys in your vehicle while off-loading and have your move-in pass on your dashboard. As soon as you have off-loaded your vehicle to your booth, you must move your vehicle from the loading dock area. Only after parking your vehicle elsewhere will you be permitted to begin setting up your exhibit.

Booth & Badges: When you arrive, your booth will be set with an 8’ high rod and drape (as a backdrop) of red and white panels. There are 3’ high drapes on the sides. Corner booths are usually set without this 3’ high side on the aisles. You may request a 3’ high side if you require it. There will be a sign with your requested sign name and your booth number. You must carpet your space or use some type of floor covering. Carpet can be rented from the show decorator; see DWA information, Page 3.

You may cover up the drapes using “S” hooks over the tops of the rods. Please do not pin anything to the drapes. If you have approved “High Walls” you are responsible for providing the materials necessary for your high wall……such as shelving, grid, furniture, décor, etc. Anyone with a High Wall will also be required to provide an attractive backing. If you are approved for “Low Walls” you can construct an 8’ high X 5’ display in the back half of your booth. Low walls must be no higher than 3’ high the first 5’ of your booth.

Five badges per booth will be provided for your company. Badges may be retrieved at the Exhibitor Registration booth. You may take all badges and distribute them to your staff or you may have them pick up their badges as they come in each day to the show. If you have multiple individuals coming and going throughout the week, it might be best to return the badges to registration at the end of each day. Our staff will re-file them for your use.

Marketing: We ask that everyone decorate in a holiday theme and encourage you to make your booth inviting and attractive to draw in your customers. Increased sales will result from what you do to make your space interesting and appealing. Be prepared to meet your customer. Make sure you have business cards, order forms or web site information for residual sales. Have an adequate staff to meet your customer and demonstrate your product.

Make sure to price your product so your customers can make an easy purchase decision. Have a return policy and make customers aware of it upon purchase. Accept credit cards if possible. This is not a table top show, no sale signs, close out or discount signs are allowed.

RV Parking & Trailers: You are encouraged to find parking for your RV or Trailer on your own. We have secured a small lot with limited space available for RVs and Trailers only.

Please call Andrew Scrivner to put your name on the list if you would like to use this lot. Again this space is limited; essentially we are on a first come, first served basis.
