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.

Teamsters handle freight at the exhibit hall. They unload trucks or vehicles and deliver freight to exhibitor's booths. They also provide rigging of machinery, moving services and spotting machinery in booths. Customarily, this service must be ordered as needed at the exhibitor's expense.

Laborers handle the erection and dismantling of all display and exhibit booths. This includes all display work as well as crating and uncrating of machinery and equipment. Laborers handle installation of drape background, table skirting and other items of a decorative nature. Laborers install all carpeting and floor coverings, either rental and/or exhibitor owned. Laborers deliver furniture and floor covering.

Electricians handle all electrical work, which includes supplying power lines to your booth, connecting equipment to outlets and installing signs or headers that are lighted, unless they are permanently a part of the exhibit back wall. Exhibitors and their full time personnel will be able to screw their own light bulbs in any of the fixtures in their booths, with the exception of neon. Exhibitors and their full-time personnel will be able to assemble and install lights in their exhibits, as long as they are products made by their company, and as long as those fixtures will not be energized.

Exhibitors may erect and dismantle displays which do not exceed 250 square feet and can be erected and/or dismantled by employees of the exhibiting company, without tools and ladders. Exhibitors’ may unpack, pack and arrange their merchandise and products in their exhibit. Those performing the work above must be employees of the exhibiting company and must carry identification to verify that fact. When unsafe set-up or dismantle conditions exist, the Javits Center may elect to suspend the exceptions listed above and Javits exhibit building labor will complete the set up at the exhibitor’s expense. The Javits Center may issue more detailed rules on this from time to time. More information can be found here: Policies - Javits Center
