GENERAL BOOTH QUESTIONS
Booth amenities: You can supply your own booth items, but DIAMOND RENTAL is an excellent supplier. They rent everything except for internet connections.

Cost is $150 for the show (plus a $75 deposit on the networking card, if needed). Order anytime before set up day by calling Jared at 801.376.5910.
Booth design rules: We are fortunate in our state to not have a lot of set-up and design regulations. All booth amenities must be within the alotted space (nothing in the isles) unless pre-approved. Anything deemed unsafe in the opinion of the expo organizer (such as tipping hazards) will be required to change. The provided drape rods will support normal banners but in general are not to be used as booth support. No giving away of helium balloons or popcorn please.
Set up day: Thursday, September 18th, anytime between 8 a.m. & 8 p.m. We stongly encourage all to finish set-up on that day, as the main loading dock area won't be available on Friday because it will be an exhibitor break area. Call (802.0200) if you need a set up time other than Thursday. Check in at the desk near the loading dock (north end) for exhibitor badges, etc. Loading and unloading only in the back lot. During expo, this lot will be by permit (sponsors) only. Please park in the main lots.
Take down: Anytime after 7 p.m. (to 10 p.m.) on Saturday. No early take downs please.
