Booth Setup & Logistics
**What's included with my booth?**
White drape creates your booth space, and you are free to decorate however you wish. Electricity and WiFi are not included.

Setup typically occurs the day before or early on the morning of the show.

Breakdown begins immediately after the show closes to the public. Vendors are asked not to break down early, even if traffic slows, out of respect for attendees and fellow vendors.

**Can I bring my own signage, displays, or lighting?**
Yes, as long as it fits within your booth footprint and complies with venue fire and safety codes. Freestanding displays must not block aisles or neighboring booths.
