A note regarding exhibit contractor services:

Remember to reserve appropriate day(s) and space for Decorator Set Up of your event.

It is customary for the exhibit contractor to assist you with the layout for your exhibit floor plan.  Your contractor provides exhibitors with their booth materials: tables, chairs, pipe, drape, carpeting, etc.  The contractor will have staff on-site during the move-in of the show to assist with any last-minute requirements of the exhibitor.

If electrical service to exhibitors is required, arrangements must be made through the Lansing Center Management.  All electrical outlets must be supplied and installed by authorized building personnel only.  Electrical forms will be provided to the contractor for advance electrical orders, to be distributed with the exhibitor registration information. These orders, with the accompanying payment, must be returned to the Lansing Center, Not the exhibitor contractor.  Advance orders are strongly encouraged to aid in the prompt service of your exhibits.  Late floor orders on the day of the show will be accepted; however, there will be an additional fee to the exhibitor for this service.
