ADDITIONAL SET-UP DETAILS
Vehicles: Should your exhibit include any vehicle or other oversized item (i.e. gondola, grooming machine) that may require special consideration getting it into the hall and to your booth space, you must contact BEWI at least 2 weeks prior to the move-in date so that we know you are bringing a vehicle, and so that we can be sure to confirm with you the details. The item will likely need to be moved into the hall earlier than the published exhibitor move-in times. There are also regulations set by the Fire Marshall--and which are non-negotiable--including such things as the amount of gas in a vehicle's gas tank (in Denver it is less than 1/4 tank). If such an item is brought to the exhibit hall without prior approval and does not meet the regulations, it will be turned away and not allowed to be brought into the hall later.

Banners: You must make advanced arrangements (with BEWI or the decorator) to have a banner or other items hung from the ceiling of the exhibit hall and the items to be hung need to be at the hall one day prior to the published move-in date, unless different arrangements have been confirmed in advance. Once all booths are set up it is much more difficult and time consuming (i.e. expensive!) to hang items from the ceiling.

Union Labor: Please be aware that some of our expos take place in buildings where the requirement to hire union labor is enforced. You may be required to hire union labor to set up your booth or move items to your booth. Please refer to the information from Freeman Decorating, which will outline the specific requirements.

Material Handling: If you have any materials that need to be shipped to the expo you may ship them to the decorator's warehouse ahead of time or to the care of the decorator at the exhibit hall for arrival on the move-in date, but be prepared to pay drayage charges. Details for shipping are available from the decorator (contact info above). Another option you may want to consider is to have items shipped to your hotel and hand carry them into the exhibit hall. While this may not be feasible depending on what is being shipped, it is the only way to guarantee that you will not be charged a material handling fee by the decorator.
