If you have been hired by an exhibiting company to perform a booth build or other services, please complete the EAC Agreement linked here. Exhibitor Appointed Contractors (EACs) can include booth builders, supervisors or designers, independent display companies, photographers, delivery personnel, technicians, etc.

EACs will be granted access to the exhibit floor to service an exhibitor only if all criteria are met and fees have been paid.
