NOTICE TO EXHIBITORS REGARDING NON-OFFICIAL CONTRACTORS
The companies listed above have been appointed as the only Official Contractors providing the stated services for this event. Show Management carefully considers the selection of Official Contractors based on quality of service, variety of products, price, and reputation. Since these contractors frequently work on more than one show with us, they value the business of our customers and provide quality products and services. Some companies may misrepresent themselves as being an official contractor so PLEASE be sure to check the list in the exhibitor manual or give us a call.
Some things to watch for if you are considering the services of a non-official contractor are hidden charges for material handling, labor, and shipping that you might not pay otherwise (for example on carpet rental), control over delivery time, availability during move-in and leverage if something goes wrong.
Also be advised that non-official contractors will need to abide by the Exhibitor Appointed Contractor procedures, provide insurance certificates, etc. in order to gain access to the Show Floor.
BRAND GUIDELINES
The use of the PAX logo must be approved by the PAX team prior to being printed or promoted. All uses of the PAX logo must adhere to our Logo and Brand Guidelines (please scroll down and find the section Brand Guidelines). Please send an example of how you plan to use the logo to your sales contact and we will provide feedback quickly. Approval is at our team's sole discretion, and we reserve the right to deny use for any reason.
