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 a one (1) hour cancellation fee per worker. 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. The operation or use of all equipment is not permitted by exhibitors or their appointed contractors.
If an Exhibitor fails to use the labor at the time confirmed, a one (1) hour "No-Show" charge, per worker, will apply. The minimum charge for labor is one (1) hour per worker. Thereafter, labor is charged in half (1/2) hour increments.
Please note that gratuities in any form, including but not limited to, cash, gifts or payment for work not actually performed, are prohibited by GES.
Installation and dismantling of exhibits, including signs and floor covering installation.
Because estimating the number of workers and hours required for installation or dismantling of your booth can be difficult, this is just an estimate. Your invoice will be calculated with the actual hours worked and based on the date received. Any additional labor utilized will be calculated and invoiced at the Show Site rate.
