Can I set up my own booth? Yes, you may use full time employees to set up your exhibit.

Exhibitors may use their own own tables, chairs and floor covering. Why does my company need to have liability insurance? The EUSE insurance carrier requires that each exhibitor participating in the Show provide a copy of their company’s certificate of liability insurance upon request. Can I bring in the materials for my own booth? All unloading of exhibit material will be handled in the loading dock area of West Hall E. EUSE provides a free parking pass on the day of move-in so you can unload your materials, park in the OCCC parking lot and then set-up your booth. If you will be unloading your own material you will have fifteen (15) minutes to unload and remove your car from this area. Vehicles are staged in an area outside of the loading docks. A map for this area will be provided by Arata Expositions in the exhibitor services manual. OCCC does not permit booth materials to be carried through the front doors of the exhibit hall.
