Questions to settle before booking at EY Centre
Before you book, confirm the organizer's rules for booth size, height limits, and approved vendors; which services, such as power, internet, and rigging, must be ordered through the venue or its contractors; the move-in and move-out windows and any dock scheduling; any union or labour requirements for installation; where guests will queue so the activation does not block neighbouring booths; and how scanned lead data is handled and what consent wording the show requires.
