This Exhibitor Kit is designed to guide you through all essential details for preparing and installing your booth, including move-in procedures, venue services, and important on-site information.
We strongly encourage exhibitors to review the kit in full and complete any required forms or service orders as early as possible. Early submission helps ensure a smooth setup and allows our venue partners and service contractors to provide the best possible service.

BEWARE OF SCAMS
We have encountered various scams over the years at the show. Most recently we had individuals trying to alter the price of a transaction. They will take the machine and change the price when you aren't paying attention. To combat this, please take caution and act on the following:
* Watch for sales of high ticket items, or a basket of items over the "tap" limit.
* Be wary of people who are buying high ticket items, or multiple items, and don't care to haggle, or care about the cost.
* Keep your cashbox or till in a secure place.
* Observe the transaction until completed.
* Provide a PIN/Passcodes to machine actions or alterations.
* Be observant! Watch the people in your booth and what they are doing
*****
Scams aren't common but they do happen. We urge you to take precaution and protect yourself from them.
