Fire Regulations

Welcome to the Hyatt Regency Chicago.

In compliance with the directives of the Chicago Fire Prevention Bureau, we ask that all exhibitors read and strictly adhere to the following:

Exhibitors may not, under any circumstances, store empty cases, equipment, products, or materials of any kind behind any drape or under their table or display at any time during the show. You may keep one day's supply of your product or materials on display in the open area of your booth space. Any items stored behind a booth display or drape will be subject to removal and will be placed in an off-site storage facility. "Empty" labels are provided for your convenience and are available at the Decorator's Service Desk. Please affix these to your empty containers and place them in the aisle for pick up. They will be returned to your booth at the break of show.

The Chicago Fire Marshal reserves the right to close down any Exhibitor that does not comply with the above Rules and Regulations. The Exhibitor will be held responsible for payment of any services rendered.

We appreciate your cooperation.
