No. No exhibitor is to begin teardown or packing process until the Exhibit Hall closes. If you are unable to keep to the exhibit schedule you should reconsider exhibiting. Early teardown of one’s exhibit will result in booth selection penalties the following year. There is a two-part reason behind this policy. First, we still have clients entering the show and they have been promised that the full roster of exhibitors will be present. By leaving early, you may be the one exhibitor they really wanted to visit and are now robbed of that opportunity. Second, it impacts your fellow exhibitors. Early teardown not only creates a visual eyesore and a possible physical obstacle to accessing other exhibitors, but it also sends a message to clients that time is up and they need to stop visiting other exhibitors.
All food and beverage needs to be supplied by the official catering vendor for all MRO Events. If an exhibitor wants to serve an item that is not offered by the official catering partner, permission can be requested from show management.
Please contact your sales representative for pricing and availability. Sales reps are determined by geographical location. To find your representative, please visit: Become a Sponsor
