Convention, Display, Trade ShowLabor RegulationsFreeman, the AACR General Services Contractor, andqualified display contractors (Exhibitor AppointedContractors) at the Pennsylvania Convention Center (PCC)will use unionized labor to install and dismantle displays anddecorations.

LaborIf you have an oversized booth (larger than 600-square feet)you have to use the labor supplied by either the GeneralServices Contractor or your own exhibitor-appointeddecorator (EAC) to build your booth. It is best to order laboras soon as possible. Please do not wait until you arrive at thePennsylvania Convention Center. There is a substantial pricedifference between advance and on-site ordering. Early labororders also will increase your efficiencies when at theConvention Center. By preordering labor, you can schedulethe time that you want labor in your booth so that it is aconvenient window for you. If you wait to order labor on-site,you may have to adjust to the workers’ schedule.

Labor can be ordered in advance by returning the DisplayLabor Order Form, included in your Exhibitor Service Kit or atshow site at the Freeman Service Desk. To avoid anymisunderstandings in advance or at the show, contact theshow management for additional clarification. Rules andregulations pertaining to union labor and the conventioncenter will appear in your Exhibitor Service Kit.

In exhibit booths that are no larger than 600 net square feet,an Exhibitor or a full-time company representative(s) mayerect or teardown booths. The use of hand tools, power tools,battery-operated tools and ladders up to 6’ are permitted.As noted above, if a booth size is more than 600 net squarefeet, union labor is required for the installation.


Loading and UnloadingFreeman will control access to the trade show floor, whichincludes access from the loading docks and/or all doorwaysinto an exhibit facility. This will help to provide a safe andorderly move-in/move-out. unloading or reloading of anyfreight into the exhibit hall by any and all private vehicles andcontracted carriers will be handled by Freeman.

The use of any motorized or hydraulicdevices is prohibited. The use of motorized pallet jackets byExhibitors is prohibited within the PCC. The exhibitor is free to move any freight within their booth usingnon-motorized dolly.

All third-party vendors,including rental companies, contractors, and/or vendors mustutilize union workers to install and to dismantle their laptops,desktops, computers, and audio-visual equipment.

Audio-VisualIf you need to rent audio-visual equipment (monitors etc.) foryour exhibit booth, please use the show-appointedaudio-visual vendor for your show. The rental price will becomparable to an outside company but the labor cost will besignificantly lower if you use the appointed vendor. When anoutside company comes into the building, they are required touse union labor at a four-hour minimum. The show-appointedAV vendor will be able to utilize labor in multiple booths,allowing you to be billed per hour rather than the four-hourminimum rate. When a non-appointed vendor comes into thefacility, they are able to work in your booth only and mustinclude the four-hour rate in your billing. These rules apply tothe set up and dismantling of booths.
