Upcoming Deadlines

The following key deadlines are coming up over the next month. Review the Exhibitor Checklist for a full list of deadlines.

June 21 - Large Equipment/Machinery Declaration

Large Equipment/Machinery Declaration

We need to know in advance if you’ll be showcasing any substantial machinery or equipment in your booth at NGAUS 2024 by June 21. This is important for several reasons:

Logistics and Setup: Understanding the size, weight and specific needs of your equipment and machinery setup enables us to make necessary arrangements for its smooth transportation and setup within the convention center.
Booth Layout and Planning: Any on-booth equipment, machinery and displays must sit within the footprint of your booth. No parts of any equipment can extend beyond booth boundaries. We need to ensure your booth space will accommodate your needs.
Safety and Compliance: We prioritize the safety of all exhibitors and attendees. When we’re aware of large on-booth equipment in advance, we can ensure that it complies with venue regulations and does not pose any challenges during move-in, setup or breakdown.

To facilitate an efficient planning process and ensure a seamless experience for everyone involved, be sure to provide detailed information regarding the dimensions, weight and any requirements of any large equipment you intend to bring to your booth by June 21. Email your plans to David Rudel and Dawn-Marie Copin.
