> All exhibit booths must have some type of flooring. 100% of the exhibit booth floor must be covered. Duct tape is not allowed in securing the carpet to the floor. Double sided tape must be used.
> All tables must be professionally skirted. Skirting must be provided for all exposed areas of the table. Skirting must go from the edge of the table to the floor. All skirting must be pressed and neat. Tablecloths (plastic or fabric), pieces of fabric and bed sheets are not permitted.

The above forms is just a reminder regarding the union jurisdictions at the PA Convention Center, specifically regarding installation and dismantle labor. Above is a reference which shows what tools can and can not be used to erect your display. If you need to use the "prohibited" tools in any function, a union carpenter must be hired through General Exposition Services to assist in that capacity.

Please note, ordering labor in advance of the show is less expensive than ordering on show site.
Also note, if your display is larger than 600 square feet, carpenter labor will be required to install / dismantle anything in your booth outside of placing product. If there is any questions regarding this, please feel free to call or email show management so that we can clear up any discrepancies before we get to show site.
PLEASE BE FAMILIAR WITH THESE RULES, AND LET US KNOW IF WE CAN HELP IN ANY WAY.

Insurance Needs
Our 2018 fall and 2019 spring shows have all been set up so exhibitors can apply using this link: http://buttineexhibitors.virtualmga.com
A few things to be aware of:
- Exhibitors will have to pick the show from a drop-down list that includes shows other than just those run by MPE.
- Marketplace Events is not selling this insurance and doesn’t profit from it in any way. This is simply a resource for those exhibitors who don’t already have the required insurance coverage per their contracts. They do not have to purchase this.
The Insurance clause is #5 on the Terms and Conditions page of all booth space contracts. For easy reference, exhibitors are required to have:
- Comprehensive General Liability and All Risk Property insurance
- Coverage must be from the start of move in to the end of move out
- Coverage of at least $1,000,000 for each separate occurrence
- Name Marketplace Events LLC and the venue as additional insured
- Provide a copy of certificate of insurance to MPE
