The Merchandise Mart is a non-smoking facility.
No storage facilities are available within The Merchandise Mart. Packing materials may not remain on the show floor while the show is open. Flammable containers must be removed from the hall.
When your containers are empty, obtain "EMPTY" labels from the exhibitor service desk. Use the labels to mark your crates, boxes and containers with your company name and booth number. Leave the containers in the aisle. Labeled containers will be returned to you at the end of the show. Do not store anything in these containers. They will not be available, and are not in the care and custody of the show or any vendor.
Wireless Internet service is available through AT&T WiFi, formerly SBC Freedom Link. Please visit their website at www.attwifi.com for additional information. Hard line, dial up telephone service is not available.
Show Management requests that exhibitors do NOT tip labor. It is considered a destructive practice leading to a lack of rapport between management and labor.
