What are the rules for unloading and setting up displays?
Exhibitors are allowed to set up their own booth display, but are not allowed to do any rigging or use their own forklift. Equipment and labor may be ordered in the Exhibitor Kit, or at the showsite service desk. If Exhibitors want a third party other than Fern Expo to help with set up and/or teardown of their booth, they must complete and submit the Exhibitor Appointed Contractor Approval Form included in the Exhibitor Kit (available January 2023) at least forty-five (45) days prior to the Event’s Exhibitor move-in date and at that time also provide to FBN: (i) a written statement setting forth the identity and intended use of the EAC, and (ii) a certificate of insurance coverage which has named Fern Expo and FBN as additional insureds on the EAC’s policies.
Fern Expo and the Oregon Convention Center need set up plans from any exhibitor with displays over 3,000 pounds.
