To assist you in planning your participation in your show, we are certain you will appreciate knowing in advance that union labor will be required for certain aspects of your exhibit handling.

Full-time employees of exhibiting companies may set their own exhibits up to 300 square feet in less than one hour with no tools required. These employees must be prepared to produce some type of company identification when engaged in these activities. We request that all exhibiting company employees have a photo ID displayed while on the show floor.

Global Experience Specialists, Inc. (GES) has the responsibility of receiving and handling all exhibit materials and empty packing materials. It is our responsibility to manage the docks and schedule vehicles for the smooth and efficient move-in and move-out of the exposition.

No more than two full-time exhibiting company employees may hand-carry their own materials into the Exhibit Hall or use a two wheel handcart. This applies to cars and passenger vans only - no company or commercial vehicles. This unloading must happen at the assigned overhead door - not in the dock area. The use of dollies, flat trucks, and other mechanical equipment is not permitted by exhibitors. Access to the loading docks will be controlled by GES in order to provide for a safe and efficient move-in and move-out. GES will not be responsible for any material we do not handle.

Please do not ask to borrow or rent any material handling equipment such as dock carts, hand trucks, dollies, etc. All equipment is under the jurisdiction of the local freight handling union.

Our work rules prohibit the SOLICITATION OR ACCEPTANCE of tips in cash, product or gifts in kind by any employee (union or non-union). Our employees are paid appropriate wages denoting professional status, therefore tipping of any kind is not allowed.

Customer acknowledges that the show site and surrounding areas are active work zones. Customer, its agents, employees and representatives are present at their own risk.

GES requires the highest standards of integrity from all employees. Please call our confidential Always Honest hotline at 800-443-4113 to report fraudulent or unethical behavior.
