*Clean Floor Policy
Due to the volume of crates—and to facilitate the installation and cleaning of aisle carpet— a Clean Floor Policy will be enforced. All aisles must be 100% clear of crates, product, ladders, gang boxes or any other items that may impede the installation of aisle carpet or they will be removed promptly, regardless of whether or not they are labeled. Requests to bring crates back from storage to the show floor before show opening are contingent upon the time it is requested and availability of forklift drivers. Labor fees will apply.

No Show Policy
Hall A1 & A2 exhibitors who have not begun setup by 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 26 will be considered a “No Show” unless you have notified Show Management. The cut-off for all other exhibitors is 2:00 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 28.
