EXHIBITOR NEWSLETTER - April 2015
EXHIBITOR NEWSLETTER - April 2015 - last email reminder, please read thoroughly
Please use our meeting hashtag! #ASCRSASOA2015
I will be traveling to San Diego from Virginia on Monday, April 13th and will have limited access to email
until late Tuesday, April 14 in the evening. Please be patient while our team is travelling and also during
set-up hours.
Do not send multiple emails. I will respond to your inquiry as soon as possible.
During exhibition move in and also show open you may contact me on my cell at 407-271-7399 or you
may stop by my office in the back of Hall C. Text messaging is very welcomed as emails will have a slight
delay in response since I will mostly be walking the floor and talking to exhibitors and contractors.
FLOOR MANAGERS FOR ASCRS
We will have two Floor Managers assisting me throughout the duration of move in, show open and
move out. You may recognize them from previous years; Gayle Alldredge and Mandy Martin. They will
have designated sections of the exhibit hall and are here to help with anything you have questions on.
EXHIBITOR SERVICE DESK HOURS - Bayside Lobby, back of Hall C
GES, Electrical, Lead Retrieval, Shipping, F&B, Photography, AV, Security, Floral & Telecom will have a

The exhibit hall for ASCRS will close promptly at 5pm on Monday, April 20. At that time GES will begin
delivering your access storage items and fibers/cases/boxes. GES will need approximately one hour to
roll up all aisle carpet. Empty returns will take all evening. We suggest that booths with empties being
returned plan on packing up the booth on Tuesday, April 21st. This will also stop you from incurring
overtime charges on Monday. Please plan your staff accordingly. Crate delivery all depends on order of
trucks at the loading dock.

CLEANING OF BUSINESS SUITES
Exhibitors with business suites in the exhibit hall will be required to order cleaning, ASCRS is not
responsible for this service in your suite.
As a general rule, the cleaning company will not go into the Business Suites if they are locked at the end
of the day, therefore you will need to arrange for a set time to let them in if you want cleaning or you
can leave them unlocked overnight for cleaning. If it’s just a matter of emptying wastebaskets, you can
set those out overnight, but if you want vacuuming, you'll need to order this and let the cleaners in.
