Exhibit Hall

What do I need to do as an exhibitor?

Exhibitor Kits (web link) will be emailed to all exhibitors directly from exhibition company in January 2013. Please fill out materials completely as they will be printing your signage.

What are my costs as an exhibitor?
Exhibition space is sold ala carte. All exhibitors must be registered. Table tops will be $400.00 each.

Sound

All videos and audio should be played through headphones to avoid disturbing your neighbors.  Please remember you have to live next to them tomorrow too (no jamming or live performances allowed in booths).  Jam sessions and performances will be shut down.  Instrument testing for manufacturers is allowed but please be mindful of sound levels.  Rooms along the back wall are available for instrument testing space.

When can I set up/take down my exhibit space?
Official set up times are:
*Thursday 1:00pm-3:00pm

*Saturday 6:00pm-7:30pm (all materials must be out of hall by 7:30pm Saturday. Folk Alliance is not responsible for anything left after 7:30pm. Hall will be closed to all FA staff and exhibitors after 7:30pm)

How do I ship materials to my booth?

Is electricity provided?
No, electricity may be purchased on an individual basis. Information and pricing is available in the exhibitor kit provided by the exhibition company and must be purchased previous to event in order to receive discount. Electricity may be purchased on site but will not reflect any discount.

Is the hall secure and is storage available?
Folk Alliance is designating a room for storage for exhibitors. However, please use your best judgment. We have hired Convention Center security but do not accept liability for anything stolen or lost.

What is the number one rule of the FA Exhibit Hall? 
To conduct business in a creative environment while being respectful to one’s neighbors. Please be mindful of your booth neighbors. All recorded music should be played through headphones. No jam sessions are allowed in the exhibit hall. However, instrument/product testing is acceptable.
