Symposia Information


 
  • Carpet and furniture is not included in your booth space (unless your booth is in the Supplier Section or Professional Center). Carpet or other suitable flooring is required in all booth spaces. Exhibitors can order carpet through Metropolitan Exposition Services. Exhibitors may bring their own carpet or flooring but it must cover their entire booth space
  • Exhibitors can install and/or dismantle their own display providing the total time for installation does not take any more than thirty (30) minutes for one person to complete without the use of tools. If an exhibitor needs the use of tools, or it takes more than 30 minutes for one person to set up your display, they must order Labor
  • One person, in one trip, may hand carry items onto show floor. Exhibitors may move a “pop-up” display, equal or less than 10’ in length, if capable of being carried by hand, or a 2 wheel baggage cart, by one full-time employee of the exhibiting company. All other shipments must go through Material Handling.
  • WCFE Exhibitor Shipments can start arriving at the Advanced Warehouse on Thursday, October 9 until Wednesday, October 29. Shipments direct to the Los Angeles Convention Center can be delivered on Thursday, November 6th. Click here for detailed Shipping Information

      Don’t create barriers to traffic
  • Design your booth for openness and easy access.
  • Avoid blocking prospects from entering your booth.
  • Make prospects feel comfortable and not distracted by what is going on around them.
  • Avoid placing too many tables, chairs, displays within your booth, and forcing prospects to stand in aisle traffic.
  • Don’t allow staff to sit in the booth. Sitting in chairs gives the impression you don’t want to be bothered, or you just don’t care.
  • Strive for originality and showmanship.
  • Remember – You are competing with surrounding booths.
  •  
    • Exhibitor service order due dates are fast approaching.
      Don’t pay higher rates – submit your service orders (carpet, furniture, electric, lead retrieval, etc.) by the due dates listed - Due Dates

      WCFE Show Directory Ads aren’t due until October 8th so there’s still time to market your company in this invaluable on-site and post-show resource.

    Every entrepreneur at WCFE is given a Show Directory before they enter the exhibits. It helps them decide which companies to spend time with and where to find them. After the show, it reminds them who they spoke to, which companies they missed, and how to contact them. Your company is listed in the Show Directory but with 50+ pages of companies, shouldn’t you do more to get noticed?

    By advertising, you’d be joining AllBusiness.com, Anago Cleaning, Express Employment Professionals, Furniture Medic, Goddard, Intelligent Office, Jani-King, Massage Heights, Michael Seid & Associates, ServiceMaster Clean, ShowHomes, Tax Centers of America, The UPS Store and Yoshinoya. These companies know the competitive advantage directory advertising brings.

    You can choose from a ¼ page BW ad on the same page as your Directory Listing to a ½ page 4C ad in the Exhibitor Alpha Listing to a Full Page 4C Ad on page 3. And when your ad brings that attendee who becomes your newest sale, the ad will have paid for itself many times over.

    Give Joel Goldstein a call at
    201-881-1628 for info on rates and ad placement. Use the Show Directory to your competitive advantage and increase your ROI at WCFE this November.

In addition, it must clearly specify what customer products and services, policies, marketing approaches, etc. are required for compliance with your franchise agreement. Learn key content that should be included as well as how to create a user-friendly Operations Manual in this 3-hour symposium.
