Beginning the Friday the show opens, all exhibitors will need a badge to enter the show. Your badge will be good for the entirety of the weekend and you may enter from the main attendee entrance or the loading dock entrance. 

Badges should be picked up at the show office desk during move in to be passed out to your team working the booth. If a team member is unable to receive one before the show, make sure another team member will be able to meet them at the entrance to pass them a badge.

Badge quantities given out are based off of booth size. Booths smaller than 400 sq. ft. are allotted 5 badges. Booths 400 sq. ft. and larger are allotted 10. 

Exhibitor badges are not to be used as admission tickets for those you are inviting to attend the show. 

Exhibitors are responsible for flooring (required for all booths, except in the ballroom). You may supply your own flooring, tables, and chairs or rent from the show decorator. An advanced purchase discount is offered and will ensure availability of all needed items.

A few things to be aware of:

• Marketplace Events is not selling this insurance and doesn’t profit from it in any way.  This is simply a resource for those vendors who don’t already have the required insurance coverage per their contracts. 

The Insurance clause is #5 on the Terms and Conditions page of all booth space contracts. You may use any insurance company for insurance, or your existing plan may already provide the necessary coverage, but it must meet the following requirements: 

• Comprehensive General Liability and All Risk Property insurance
• Coverage must be from the start of move in until the end of move out
• Coverage of at least $1,000,000 for each separate occurrence
• Name Marketplace Events LLC and the venue as additional insured
• Provide a copy of the certificate of insurance (COI) to MPE if requested

 

It is required that we are listed on your policy as additional insured:
Marketplace Events LLC
2000 Auburn Dr Ste 200
Beachwood, OH 44122
