Item 16 Q October 15 & 16, 2013 Q Suburban Collection Showplace Q Novi, MI Certificate of Insurance While all possible care will be exercised by Michigan Restaurant Association and its agents, you are responsible for insuring the safety of your personnel and your exhibit materials from theft, damage, accident, fire and other causes. Exhibitors who desire to carry insurance must do so at their own expense (a rider on your existing coverage may be sufficient). All property of the exhibitors is understood to remain in their own care, custody and control in transit to and from the confines of the exhibit hall as well as when it is on the floor. Please submit your Certificate of Insurance to Show Concierge by Friday, September 27, 2013. Contact Show Concierge Fax: 517-702-3953 Email: [email protected] Mail: Michigan Restaurant Association, 225 W. Washtenaw, Lansing, MI 48933 800-968-9668 Q michiganrestaurantshow.org DEADLINE FRI., SEPT. 27 Certificate of Insurance Item 17 Q October 15 & 16, 2013 Q Suburban Collection Showplace Q Novi, MI Rules and Regulations These rules and regulations have been adopted to give each exhibitor more effective use of his/her space without infringing on the rights of neighboring booths. Space dimensions shown on floor plans are from center line of booth equipment, such as side rails and/or back drape. Exhibit structures must be constructed to allow sufficient tolerance on each side for this equipment and for utility service at rear of booth. Standard Booth Definition: One or more standard units in a straight line. Booth Design: Exhibit fixture, components and identification signs will be permitted to a maximum height of 8’3” (2.5m). All display fixtures over 4’0” (1.22m) in height and placed within 10 lineal feet (3.05m) of an adjoining exhibit, must be confined to that area of the exhibitor’s space which is at least 5’0” (1.52m) from the aisle line for those exhibits with 14’0” (4.27m) depth or more. Meanwhile, for those exhibits with 9’0” (2.75m) or less of depth, they must confine their display fixtures over 4’0” in height to the back half of the booth. Intent: Each exhibitor is entitled to a reasonable sight-line from the aisle regardless of the size of the exhibit. Exhibitors with larger space- 30 lineal feet (9.14m) or more- should also be able to effectively use as much of the total floor space as possible as long as they do not interfere with the rights of others. The limitation on display fixtures over 4’0” (1.22m) and within 10 lineal feet (3.05m) of a neighboring exhibit is intended to accomplish both of these aims. Perimeter Wall Booth Definition: Standard booth located on the outer perimeter wall of the exhibit floor. Booth Design: Exhibit fixtures, components and identification sign will be permitted to a maximum height of 12’0” (3.66m) in perimeter wall booths. All display fixtures over 4’0” (1.22m) in height and placed within 10 lineal feet (3.05m) of an adjoining exhibit, must be confined to that area of the exhibitor’s space which is at least 5’0” (1.52m) from the aisle line for those exhibits with 14’0” (4.27m) depth or more. Meanwhile, for those exhibits with 9’0” (2.75m) or less of depth, they must confine their display fixtures over 4’0” in height to the back half of the booth. Intent: See Standard Booth guidelines above. 800-968-9668 Q michiganrestaurantshow.org Rules & Regulations Item 18 Q October 15 & 16, 2013 Q Suburban Collection Showplace Q Novi, MI Demonstration Regulations When sampling or demonstrating, booths must be arranged so attendees come into your booth to receive their samples and do not block the aisles, which, if obstructed, could hurt the traffic to neighboring exhibits. Service tables must be at least 3’ back from the aisle. The exhibitor is held responsible if a line of samplers or spectators interferes with adjoining exhibits. In such cases, Exposition Management is required to insist on intermittent sampling or demonstrating to avoid line formation. If you expect many people to congregate at one time, you must leave space within your own exhibit area to absorb the majority of the crowd. Intent: The aisles are the property of all exhibitors; therefore, each exhibitor has the responsibility to assure proper flow of traffic through the entire show. When large crowds gather to watch a demonstration or entertainment and interfere with the flow of traffic down aisles, or create excessive crowds in neighboring booths, this is an infringement on the other exhibitors’ rights. Aisles must not be obstructed at any time. Sound Monitor your own booth to be sure the noise level from any demonstrations or sound system is kept to a minimum and does not interfere with others. Remember the use of sound system or equipment producing sound is an exception to the rule, not a right. Show Management reserves the right to determine at what point sound constitutes interference. 800-968-9668 Q michiganrestaurantshow.org Rules & Regulations Continued Item 18 Q October 15 & 16, 2013 Q Suburban Collection Showplace Q Novi, MI Fire Prevention: Practices For Exposition Events City of Novi Fire Department The Novi Fire Department, in an attempt to maintain a safe and enjoyable exposition event, has established the following Rules and Regulations to be observed by all exhibitors and vendors.
