Re: Exhibitor Rights do not apply to contractor personnel

All registered companies and contractors operating at McCormick Place must follow the State of Illinois Legislation regarding display installation/dismantling.

One of the significant changes in the legislation is that it allows "Full Time Exhibitor Personnel" to perform work on their display without any size limitation. This work includes the use of tools both hand and power tools and electrical work.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE LEGISLATION DOES NOT ALLOW EXHIBITORS TO TRANSFER THEIR RIGHTS TO CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL.

Any registered contractor who attempts to take advantage of these changes, created by the legislation, by posing as an exhibitor employee will incur serious consequences including the possible revocation of the "Right of Entry" agreement. It is the contractor’s responsibility to have a complete understanding of all jurisdiction rules and McCormick Place rules that apply to any specific work.
