Stagehand Labor

For Stagehand Labor only – the minimum charge for all department labor is (8) hours per worker and (1) hour per equipment.

All exhibit labor for 8:00 AM starting times will be dispatched to booth space. For all other starting times, please check in at the labor desk one half (1/2) hour before the time requested (confirm labor and forklifts by 2:30 PM the day before date requested). Any labor cancelled without a 24-hour notice will be charged at the minimum (8) hours for head of department and for additional worker(s). If your show is targeted we recommend for you to schedule labor the day after your target date if possible. All rates are subject to change if necessitated by increased labor and material costs.

Dismantle labor is charged at 50% of installation labor based on show close/move-out days/time (overtime rates may apply), and does not need to be scheduled.
