What is an EDC?

EDC stands for Exhibitor Designated Contractor. An EDC is any company (other than one of the official designated contractors) that an exhibitor wants to use inside the exhibit hall before, during, or after the show. Exhibitors are required to register their EDCs prior to the Show using forms in the Exhibitor Manual and submit a certificate of insurance for Show Management approval or the EDC will not be allowed to work on the Show floor.

What is the cubic content rule?

This rule allows exhibitors to make maximum use of their booth space. Under the cubic content rule, each exhibitor may build right up to the front of his booth, up to the maximum allowable height.

Drayage pertains to the moving of freight from the warehouse or loading dock to the booth on the inbound, and from the booth to the loading dock on the outbound; also movement of freight between booths. It is an additional charge.

What is Lead Retrieval and what can it do for me?

Lead retrieval can give you profiles of customers and prospects that visit your booth during the Show. This information includes their responses to demographic questions that they responded to on their registration form.

What role do Floor Managers play?

Floor managers are Show Management representatives that are located in key areas of the exhibit floor to help answer questions or solve problems as they arise. Typically they are assigned specific aisles of responsibility and can be found in a booth near the exhibit hall entrance doors.
