Please Note: GES handles all hanging signs under 200lbs. Signs exceeding 200lbs. are assembled by GES, inspected, and attached to truss and motors. Truss and motors are ordered and installed through Hi-Tech and can be found under Additional Show Services.

Please order Hanging Signs by the Thursday, October 3, 2024 deadline date. By ordering in advance you will help us assure your sign is properly assembled and installed.

   • Send your sign to the GES advance warehouse. Please have the sign in its own container or box separate from your other freight and clearly labeled HANGING SIGN.
   • Make sure you are providing the correct dimensions and weight of your sign.
   • Elevation - what is your desired elevation of your sign (Number of feet from floor to top of the sign) This must follow the Show Organizer rules and regulations.
   • Is your sign electrical or non-electrical? (Rotating motors are considered electrical signage)
   • Pick Points - number of structural pick points on the sign.
   • Floorplan - you must submit a floorplan indicating placement of your sign within the booth to include adjacent booth numbers for orientation.
   • Approval - When applicable, make sure you have submitted for approval to show management/ GES. This information will be stipulated in the GES online ordering site/Show Management tab.
   • Select a date and time for installation/removal of your sign. You also have the option to select "OK to Proceed" without your supervision. Completed instructions, sign delivered to our advance warehouse and all hardware must be provided, and GES' goal will be to hang your sign prior to your arrival or selected date and time.
3. Structural Engineered drawings - if applicable or requested by GES, you may need to provide a stamped drawing indicating the weight and location of the rigging points. GES reserves the right to not hang any signage/structure that in our opinion is not deemed structurally sound.
