[SML] Exhibit Questions. Javits Center, NYC

[Bill Sapsis]

Steve

Your questions can only be answered by checking the contract between the show producer and the show exhibit company.  I’m sure, especially in New York City, the do’s and don’ts will be very specific in that contract.  There will also be a separate show electrical company.  And,  there will be a separate show decorator from whom she may be able to get the turntables, but I suspect she’ll have to go outside the Javits for those items.  Hudson Scenic would be my first suggestion.

I hope she sells a lot of doors because what you are describing is going to cost a metric cr*pload of money.

And you haven’t talked about the drayage fees yet.  300 pound units??? whooooeee.  Lots of dollars.

Good luck.

She will be taking all of the items (including interlocking wood floor panels) that need to be placed in the booth with her and her staff of about 4.
