Exhibitor Credentials

CREDENTIAL INFORMATION

WHAT IS: EXHIBITOR CREDENTIALS The exhibitor credential system for show days will be the same as the 2007 process. 2 hours prior to show open, exhibitors will have access to the show floor by showing their exhibitor name credential at one of the show entrances. Once the show opens to the public, each staff person will be required to show their exhibitor credential and photo ID (i.e driver’s license, health card, etc.) at one of the show entrances. Once an exhibitor has entered the show once, they will be given the following options for same day re- entry: i) showing photo ID and exhibitor credential each time ii) showing photo ID and exhibitor credential upon first entry each day and receiving a hand stamp or wristband for in-out privileges. See the enclosed order forms for both exhibitor and working dealers’ exhibitor credentials.

Similar to 2007, all on-site staff and contractors will be required to wear show credentials at all times during move-in/move-out. Entrances to the show floor will be monitored and access will be denied to those without a name badge. Security will also be routinely checking the show floor for badges. In order to assist you with quick access into your space, please fill in the enclosed document “On-Site Move- in/Move-Out Staff and Contractors”. Please advise all on-site staff and contractors that they must stop by the staging yard trailer to pick up their show credentials as soon as they arrive on the Exhibition Place grounds.

A TRADE BADGE? A badge for those in the marine industry attending the show - not working an exhibit. Six (6) badge types are available – Manufacturer, Manufacturer’s Rep., Marine Services, Wholesaler, Dealer, and Retailer & Marina. These badges allow access during public hours only with the exception of Manufacturers’ Representatives which are allowed in 2 hours prior to show opening.
