- Rates included are per hour. A two-man crew is generally required for assembly. Whenever possible, work will be performed during Straight Time (ST) hours.
- All overhead hanging signs or banners must be approved and adhere to show management and facility regulations. TEG reserves the right to refuse any unsafe hanging sign.
- For safety, all hanging signs MUST be assembled by The Expo Group or an approved Exhibitor Appointed Contractor (EAC). See rates for assembly labor below. Provide setup instructions in advance for signs needing assembly. Additional inspection fees may apply if signs are pre-assembled before TEG's arrival.
- High Lift and Crew services will be invoiced based on actual time incurred, with a minimum charge of one (1) hour for both installation and dismantling. A materials fee will be assessed for each pick point in contact with the hanging sign. All hanging anchor points must be pre-fabricated and fully prepared prior to installation.
- Additional charges for truss, motors, rigging points, etc., will apply as needed.
- All hanging signs MUST be sent to the Advance Warehouse, clearly identified and packaged separately from the main shipment to prioritize unloading and delivery to the show site. Use the Hanging Sign shipping labels included in this manual. If not shipped to the advance warehouse, TEG cannot guarantee hanging prior to show open or advance rates.
- Exhibitor is required to cancel labor at least 24 hours prior to the date for which labor was ordered or a (1) one hour minimum will be charged.

SUSPENDED SIGN TIPS:
1. All hanging signs will need to be estimated by booth. Estimates will take approximately 5-7 days to return.
2. All rates include materials such as shackles, carabiners, rope, wire etc.
3. If your sign requires assembly/disassembly, you have the option to assemble it yourself or have MCC/TEG assemble it for you. If you do hire assembly labor, the crew will assemble/disassemble at the same time as the install. There is not a separate crew that comes prior.
4. Hanging signs and graphics are permitted in all peninsula, split island and island booths to a maximum height of 20' (4.88m) from the floor to the top of the sign. See the rules and regulations section for more specific details.
5. If you want to send your sign to the advance warehouse to have it over to the facility prior to your targeted time and hung without your supervision, you may do so by using the included suspended sign labels. Please specify this with your suspended sign order form.
6. Some possible problematic areas: If your island booth should fall in the following categories, you might have some hanging sign challenges or potential elevated costs. If you haven’t already spoken to your Customer Account Manager, please reach out to them to discuss in more detail.
a. First 30’ and Back 30’
The booths in the front and back 30' of the hall, could run into issues depending on what you hang. If it's a sign that covers the footprint of the booth, it could require higher costs and take a lot of time to install. If the sign is under 100 pounds we should be able to make it happen.
b. In the 30’ Grid Corners
Booths in the 30' grid corners by the airwalls of the exhibit hall (such as 501, 701, 801, 1301, 1601, 2401, and 3001) could run into issues depending on what you want to hang. If you only have signs centered in their booth, they all should be fine.
c. The 1500/1600 Aisle
All the 1500 and 1600 aisle booths are slightly under the airwall. If they have signs under 100 pounds and centered in their booth it won't be that bad. Anything that does not fall into that category will require truss and motors, boom lifts, and high steel rigging.
