EXPO SUPPLIER
You can supply your own booth with items such as table and chairs if you wish, but DIAMOND RENTAL is an excellent supplier for almost any of your booth needs. Many commonly ordered items include draped tables, chairs, carpet and electricity. Click here to download an Exhibitor Packet from Diamond. Our contact is Sharon at 801.222.9311 or at sharonc@diamondrental.com. An exhibitor packet will also be mailed to you approximately one month prior to the show.
BOOTH RULES
1. Your booth space is simply the 10' x 10' space with pipe and drape around (8' high back and 3' high sides). You may bring your own booth supplies such as table and chairs or they can be rented from Diamond Rental at 801.222.9311. Electrical is through Diamond as well and usually goes for about $85. The provided drape rods will support normal banners but in general are not to be used as booth support.
2. Everything must be inside the booth. Nothing in the isles, including rugs. This is a fire marshal thing.
3. There is not really a maximum height requirement, but booths will be inspected by the marshal and must be deemed safe (no tipping hazards, etc).
4. Canopy's are okay.
5. Side walls may not extend more than half way to the front of the booth. This is to keep visibility open to everyone's booth as people walk down the isles. Double end cap booths may have a full back wall.
6. Balloons may be used to decorate your booth if they are secured well, but please do NOT hand out balloons.
7. Please do NOT hand out popcorn. Sorry about this one. We've tried it for years because we love popcorn, but it is an unavoidable mess.
SET-UP AND TAKE-DOWN
Set up day: Thursday, September 9th, 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.

DOOR PRIZES
We welcome giveaways from all exhibitors wishing to do so. This is a good opportunity for a little added promotion at the show. You may do basically any giveaway you'd like from your own booth, but if you would like us to help you promote it the minimum price of the giveaway must be $200. Limit one major giveaway per day. The Expo guide that will be handed out at the front door will include a list of all companies and thier prizes. We will do an overhead announcement about the giveaway.
