Exhibitors are required to communicate all rules and regulations to your appointed contractor(s). We recommend you review the information below and follow up with your contractor to ensure all steps have been taken by the posted deadlines and that fees have been paid. Without paperwork, insurance and EAC fees paid, they will not be permitted onto the show floor.
Contractors:
If you have been hired to build/design booth space at this event, it is mandatory that you:
- Complete and submit the EAC Agreement by 6 August 2025.
- Provide Proof of Insurance - Mandatory (See Sample for Required Coverage) - (These should only be uploaded via the link provided. Please DO NOT email to SPE or Freeman).
- EAC fee of $500 per exhibitor (5 show-day EAC badges are included)
If you need to add additional companies at a later date, please visit this section and submit another request via the online form. Please do not email requests for these additions directly to our email inbox.
EACs needing access to the show floor during show days will need to be registered and badged. The EAC fee of $500 (paid per company) provides 5 complimentary EAC badges.
EACs only needing access to the show floor during set-up and tear-down will not need to be badged. These employees will need to check in at the freight door each morning to obtain a colored wristband. They will be required to provide government-issued photo ID’s.
Please note–failure to follow the aforementioned processes will result in a delay or denial of access to the show floor.
