We welcome you to the National Stationery Show Set-Up Manual hosted by the general service contractor, GES. We want you to have a stress-free booth set up and a great show.

NEW THIS YEAR!

1. Work rules have been relaxed such that exhibitors can now build booths up to 250 square feet without union labor. There are nuances, so please refer to the Labor Rules and Regulations section for more detail.
2. All exhibitors are required to carry booth insurance. This protection is, of course, very important. Please read the Insurance Requirements page for details.

We’d like to point out a couple of other things. First is the Critical Dates & Deadlines checklist. This summarizes the most common services and their respective deadlines (i.e. carpet, electric, foam board, set-up labor). You will save considerably by meeting these dates. Next is the color coded target check in floor plan. This will apprise you of the earliest date and time you can begin your set up. Finally, in our view, the first rule of exhibiting is consideration of other exhibitors. Please be a good neighbor. If you arrive before neighbors next to or behind you, be careful not to encroach on their space. All booth space dimensions are marked in white on the show floor.

Thank you for exhibiting with us!
Sincerely,
