Important Reminders for Exhibitor Move-In, Hand Carry & POV
During Show set-up, exhibitors may hand-carry their merchandise from their Personally Owned Vehicle (passenger car, pickup truck, or van) in the designated areas. Unloading requires one person to remain with the vehicle at ALL times.
All product must be unloaded within a few minutes and the vehicle must then be moved.
Flatbeds 15' or longer, U-Haul's, or other box trucks and vans are NOT considered POVs and will be subject to standard material handling rates.

Rules & Reminders
  • Booth Configuration Rules. Show Management has developed the DEMA Show Exhibit Regulations in accordance with the guidelines adopted by the International Association of Expositions and Events (IAEE). All exhibits must follow these regulations prior to the end of move-in. These regulations will ensure all exhibitors an equal opportunity, within reason, to present their product(s) in the most effective manner possible.
  • Food & Beverage Reminders. Exhibitors may serve food from their booth; however, they must make prior arrangements through Centerplate, the Official food and beverage contactor for DEMA Show. Outside food and beverage is not permitted in the Orange County Convention Center.
CompuSystems Lead Retrieval
CompuLead is the most powerful way to capture sales leads on the trade show floor using your own smartphone or tablet. Log into your exhibitor console to take advantage of this opportunity!
Late Work Passes
Exhibitors that must have access to the exhibit hall after published move-in and move-out hours, must obtain a special Late Work Pass from Show Management. Additional security MAY be required at the exhibitor's expense if Late Works Passes are required. We encourage exhibitors to complete exhibit move-in and move-out during specified hours. No Late Work Passes will be issued to work on the show floor before published move-in and move-out hours, only after. 
Security
Uniformed Security Guards and Badge Checkers will be stationed throughout the exhibit halls on a 24-hour basis and will patrol the floor during non-show hours. Every reasonable effort is made to prevent losses. The final responsibility, however, lies with the exhibitor. It is advised items such as laptops, small monitors, or anything which is easily concealed, NOT be left unsecured in a booth overnight. Private guards can be hired from the official security contractor; see the order form located in the Utilities, Rigging & Additional Services section of the Exhibitor Services Manual. 
Retail Sales
If, as an exhibitor, you find it necessary to conduct retail sales at DEMA Show, you must abide by state laws pertaining to tax collection and reporting. Exhibitors are required to register with the Florida Department of Revenue. Once registered, you will be assigned a certificate number and the system will communicate additional information regarding sales tax while on-site at DEMA Show 2022. If you have any questions, please contact the Florida Department of Taxation directly at 1-850-488-6800 or 1-800-352-3671 and let the operator know that you are inquiring about the Sales and Use Tax.
