No exhibits may start tearing down until after 4:00 pm. The takedown, removal, or repackaging of booth materials and/or displays during posted bridal show hours is strictly prohibited. Not only is this disrespectful to attendees and neighboring booths, but it poses a hazard while transporting said materials through the event facility. Early tear-down will result in forfeiture of the lead list and a $100 fine.
Bring potential customers to see you by promoting your presence at the show (don’t forget to give them free tickets!).
Not only will it help bring more engaged attendees to the show, but you’ll also get points toward our “Spread the Word” contest.
