Please order Hanging Signs labor by Thursday, September 26, 2024 - deadline date to receive the discounted price. By ordering in advance, you will help us assure your sign is properly assembled and installed.

GES is responsible for assembly, installation, and removal of all hanging signs. GES maintains the right of refusal to hang any signs deemed structurally unsafe. All booth rigging information including, but not limited to, assembly instructions, rigging plot point plans, and booth layouts should be sent to GESNOLAPRODUCTION@ges.com. For any custom quote inquiries or questions regarding your hang, please contact GES at GESNOLAPRODUCTION@ges.com.
