Material
Handling
Exhibitors may hand-carry their own materials into the exhibit facility. The use or rental of dollies, flat carts, pallet jacks and other
mechanical equipment is not permitted. Brede Exposition Services will control access to the loading dock in order to provide for a
safe and orderly move-in/move-out. Only full-time employees of the exhibiting company will be allowed to hand carry items. Brede
Exposition Services will handle unloading or reloading at the dock of any and all contracted carriers.
Booth
Labor
Currently, we have an agreement with the International Alliance of Theatrical and Stage Employees (IATSE) Local 336. Members of
this union claim jurisdiction over all setup and dismantling of exhibits, furniture installation, pipe and drape, hanging of signs and
laying of floor coverings and unloading and delivering of all display related materials.

Gratuities
In General
In addition to utilizing the services of the Official Service Contractor, Brede Exposition Services, exhibitors may use full-time
company personnel that will be staffing their exhibit to assist in setup and/or dismantling of their own booths. Exhibitors may employ
the services of non-official contractors providing the following requirements are met:
• Exhibitors must advise Brede Exposition Services in writing, thirty (30) days prior to setup of the show, of
their intent to hire an outside installation and dismantle company or exhibit house to supervise, install, and
dismantle their exhibit. The Non-Official Contractor form must be completed by both parties and returned no
less than thirty (30) days prior to setup.
• Non-official contractors must furnish proof of adequate insurance, in the form of an original copy of a policy
rider listing Brede Exposition Services as an additional insured, furnished by their broker to Brede Exposition
Services' office no less than thirty (30) days in advance of actual installation dates.
• Non-official contractors must furnish show management the names, addresses and telephone numbers of
key executives for emergency contact.
• All personnel must be properly badged at show site.
This statement and insurance rider are not required for exhibitors who plan to use their own employees to install or dismantle their
own booth or equipment. All non-official installation and dismantle contractors will be allowed on the exhibit floor only during official
installation and dismantling hours, and must be identified with a temporary work pass, either supplied by show management or the
official service contractor.
Standing on chairs, tables or other rental furniture is prohibited. This furniture is not engineered to support your standing weight.
Brede cannot be responsible for injuries or falls caused by the improper use of this furniture. If assistance is required in the
assembly/dismantle of your booth, please order labor on the enclosed Labor Order form and the necessary ladders and tools will be
provided.
Brede Exposition Services requests that exhibitors do not tip our employees. Do not give coffee breaks other than mid-morning and
mid-afternoon when union employees have a fifteen minute paid break. Any attempts to solicit a gratuity by an employee for any
service should be reported immediately to a Brede supervisor. Employees of Brede are paid at an excellent wage scale denoting a
professional status, and we feel that tipping is not necessary. This applies to all Brede employees.
Craftsmen at all levels are instructed to refrain from expressing any grievances or directly challenging the practices of any exhibitor.
All questions originated by labor are to be expressed directly to Brede management personnel. It is recommended that any
questions arising with regard to union jurisdiction or practices be directed to a management representative of Brede.
