Javits prints some work rules….

Basically i try never to go there.    if you can roll it in and set it up yourself and not need electricity, forklifts, genies, or ladders, or dollies,  you might be okay.
You will have to check with the sponsoring group and see what their contract says…..

Years ago I would have to bring a roll of fifties to make sure anything got done.  Times have changed …..whether that means things work better now or that you  need 100's you'll have to find out from others….

Some questions for the group, especially those in the NYC area. A friend who is exhibiting at the ICFF Javits Center in mid-May has a 15' x 20' space in which to exhibit some very high-end doors. 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.
So here are the questions.
1. Can she and her staff set up the doors on their bases or will IA house crew need to do that with advice from the exhibitor?
2. Does anyone have an idea of the cost of rigging a suspended fabric banner with the company logo from overhead? Very light weight, dead-hung, no hoist involved.
3. There is talk of setting two doors on individual rotating turntables. Doors and support bases weigh about 300 pounds. Are such things available and from whom would one rent such a thing? Also, how does power get run to such turntables?

Any information you might supply would be most appreciated. I hope to get back to her with some responses in the next day or so.
Many TIA.
