This manual contains the instructions and information needed to maximize your exhibit experience at the Metropolitan Pavilion this August 17-20, 2008. We urge you to become familiar with its contents. Please pay particular attention to the rules and regulations governing the Show and booth descriptions outlined herein. A review and understanding of the “Terms, Conditions and Rules” portion of your exhibit contract is recommended, as well. Please have all parties responsible for your exhibit, including any exhibitor appointed contractor/display house read this manual and become familiar with its provisions – especially the order form deadline dates.

You should not delay in sending in the order forms. The general service contractor, Metropolitan Expositions and other vendors involved will offer you more expeditious service at discounted pricing if you order by the deadline dates. We also suggest that you make copies of each order form submitted and have them on hand at the Show for reference purposes.

We have created a Show Site Contact Form to allow us to contact your representative in New York after show hours in the event of an emergency. Please take a moment to fill out the form and return it to us.
