----- Merchandise Policy -----
As we enter a highly volatile political environment in advance of the 2024 General Election, Marketplace Events (MPE) wants to make clear its position on what content will not be permitted on its exhibit floors in all its US consumer home and holiday shows effective January 1, 2024. MPE shows are welcoming environments built solely to encourage face-to-face commerce. Creating respectful, safe marketplaces where our attendees and exhibitors can come together to learn, shop, compare pricing and do business together is our highest priority.
MPE’s acceptability standards do not permit political candidates, parties or other groups promoting issues or ballot initiatives to participate as exhibitors. In addition, the display or sale of any products or services that are political/partisan in nature or that can be interpreted to promote, incite, or glorify hatred, violence, racial, sexual, or religious intolerance are prohibited. MPE’s judgment in applying these standards will be final.
MPE maintains these policies to ensure a welcoming environment for all attendees and exhibitors.

better! The shoppers are feeling festive!
Your company has rented raw exhibit space, meaning that when you arrive, you will find a drape and I.D sign. Additional drayage, flooring (required), tables, chairs, electricity, Wi-Fi, etc., are not included in the cost of your exhibit booth and are the vendor’s responsibility.
FLOORING
Click here for an informational and example sheet
Flooring is not included in the cost of your exhibit booth. It is mandatory that all exhibit booths are carpeted or have some type of clean, professional-looking floor covering that covers 100% of the booth’s square footage. You may bring your own or rent from Southern Exposition Services. Some approved examples include, carpeting, interlocking foam tiles, astroturf, hardwood, tile, vinyl flooring etc.
All edges of carpeting must be secured using double-sided tape on the underside of the carpet. Please bring your own double-sided CARPET tape to secure. Duct tape is not permitted. Any tape or residue left on the floor after moving out is subject to a fee.
TABLE SKIRTING
It is mandatory that all tables are properly skirted. Skirting must go from the edge of the table to the floor on all four sides. All skirting must be pressed and neat. Use of plastic tablecloths, sheets, shower curtains or any type of “makeshift” tablecloths is not permitted. We strictly enforce this and will skirt all incorrectly skirted tables at the Vendor’s expense. All inventory and personal items must be stored COMPLETELY OUT OF SIGHT. Your booth should look professional and inviting to attendees. Southern Exposition Services is available to rent tables that will be properly skirted if needed for an additional charge.

SIGNAGE

Rules & Regulations
BUILDING REGULATIONS: The Park Expo & Conference Center

Show Management provides 24-hour security for the show floor during move-in, move-out, show hours and overnight. However, neither Show Management nor The Park Expo & Conference Center are responsible for lost, damaged or stolen articles. We encourage you to take all valuables with you when the show closes each evening. A tarp/sheet covering your booth after show hours goes a long way in securing your belongings.
Most thefts happen during move-in, move-out, and within 30 minutes of the show closing. Staff your booth accordingly, and when the show does close, wait for the attendees to clear out.
Report anything of a suspicious nature to Show Management and/or Security. Leads can be followed up to avoid incidents of theft. Ensure you are adequately insured.
SOLICITING, DEMONSTRATIONS & GIVEAWAYS
Displays, demonstrations or distribution of samples, souvenirs, promotional material and soliciting of business must be confined to the vendor’s booth space. Such activities are not permitted in any other part of the show such as the aisles, lobby, entrance areas, hallways, or other exhibits. Sponsorship opportunities are the only exception. If you’d like to discuss promotional opportunities, please contact Hannah Lewis, hannahl@mpeshows.com
No calling, pulling, grabbing, etc., of visitors to booths will be tolerated and may lead to immediate dismissal from the show. It is against show policy for any Vendor or Vendor representative to sit, stand, hand out samples, literature, obtain leads, etc. in the aisles of the show, in restrooms, in concession areas, or outside the doors of the venue. This activity must be done inside your booth. This is also meant to prohibit the handing out of literature from within your booth in such a way that will block or divert the flow of traffic.
Giveaways to Show Guests
- No stickers, pressure adhesive, etc. can be used or given away by Vendors.
- No helium-filled balloons may be distributed at any time.
- No food (including popcorn) or beverages may be distributed by Vendors inside the Park Expo & Conference Center unless approved by Marketplace Events and the Park Expo & Conference Center.

Each Vendor is responsible for obtaining all necessary licenses and permits to use photographs or other copyrighted and trademarked material in Vendor’s booth or display. No Vendor will be permitted to use any copyrighted/trademarked material, such as photographs, collegiate logos or other artistic works, without first presenting to Marketplace Events proof that the Vendor has, or does not need, a license to use such copyrighted/trademarked material. Marketplace Events reserves the right to remove from the exhibit all or any part of any booth or display that incorporates copyrighted and/or trademarked material and for which the Vendor fails to produce proof that the Vendor holds all required licenses. The Vendor shall remain liable for all claims, causes of action, suits, damages, liability, expenses, and costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, arising from or out of any violation of infringement (or claimed violation or infringement) by Vendor, Vendor's age or employees of any patent, copyright or trade secret rights or privileges.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
As a Vendor, you must ensure the health, safety and welfare of your employees, contractors and visitors as far as is reasonably practical throughout the Show. You should also check that any contractors, suppliers, agents, etc. that you may be using have a Health & Safety Policy, suitable to the Vendor environment.

- Comprehensive General Liability and All Risk Property insurance
