Exhibitors

Dock counts, freight elevator limits, floor loads, and the ordering windows that change your price, straight from the exhibitor ordering kit.

3 Drive-in ramps

20 min POV dock load-in and load-out window, per vehicle

Freight elevators, near the loading dock

The South large elevator's opening is printed exactly as the ordering kit states it. Confirm the exact clearance with your Event Manager before you plan a load that depends on it.

Floor loads

What the Floor Can Carry

350 lb Per square foot, Exhibit Hall

150 lb Per square foot, Ballroom

  • Displays or transport equipment over 6,000 lb need SCC Engineer review before move-in.
  • Columns covered in hard material need at least 18 inches of clearance on all four sides, with one access door.

Ordering deadlines

Order Early or Pay More

The exhibitor store opens 90 days before your first scheduled load-in. Everything you order online moves through three price tiers as the show gets closer.

Advance 31-90 days prior
Standard 7-30 days prior
Floor onsite, 6 days or fewer prior
Ordering tiers, with a sample circuit rate to show what the tier costs
Tier Window 120V, 10A circuit
Advance31-90 days prior$120
Standard7-30 days prior$150
FloorOnsite, 6 days or fewer prior$225
  • Payment is by credit card only, through the online portal (Ungerboeck), with a 3% processing fee on every card transaction.
  • Tax-exempt exhibitors cannot order through the portal; contact exhibitor services directly by phone or email for a PDF order form.

The cancellation schedule does not fully reconcile. The ordering kit prints a 100% refund 31 or more days prior, a 50% refund 15 to 45 days prior, which overlaps the full-refund window, and no refund inside 14 days. Printed exactly as given; confirm your specific cancellation terms with exhibitor services before you rely on a number here. On-site cancellations are not refunded under any of the three readings.

Utilities

Electrical, Internet, Air, and Water

Premium wireless$60$75$115

Complimentary wireless internet with limited bandwidth and speed is available throughout the facility if you do not need a paid upgrade.

  • Water, drainage, and telecom are ordered the same way, through SCC as the exclusive in-house provider; no outside utility contractor is permitted.

Those are two different ZIP codes for the same street address, printed exactly as they appear on the Authority's own forms. A third ZIP appears on the guide's cover page and looks like a typo. Confirm the ZIP with your Event Manager before you ship anything.

Exhibit Hall B set for a trade show
Exhibit Hall B 42,223 sq ft 52'2" ceiling 350 lb per sq ft floor load

Booth Space by Hall

Every hall the capacity chart rates for 10x10 booths. Exhibit Hall is the whole floor priced as one combined count; A through D are the same floor priced by section, and the two are not additive.

Published 10x10 booth capacity, largest first
Hall Dimensions Sq Ft Ceiling Booths
Exhibit Hall Combined 683' x 283' 200,000 Varies 974
Exhibit Hall A 193' x 283' 53,887 52'2" 280
Exhibit Hall C 180' x 280' 51,693 30' 262
Exhibit Hall D 160' x 280' 46,017 30' 224
Exhibit Hall B 150' x 283' 42,223 52'2" 208

Exhibit Hall's combined count is the same floor as A through D, not an additional hall; do not add the combined row to its own sections when you are working out how many booths fit.

Exhibitor FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I run my own extension cords or share power with another exhibitor?
No. You cannot run cords under the flooring or distribute high-voltage power across the floor yourself, and services cannot be shared between exhibitors; each booth orders and pays separately.
Can I bring in outside food or drink?
No. SCC is the exclusive food and beverage provider for the building. Catering is ordered through the same online system; questions go to (912) 447-4031.
Can I rig something from the ceiling?
Only through the building's exclusive rigging provider, and only for rigging purposes. Additional fees apply.
Who installs my booth's utility connections?
SCC staff install every connection. There is no direct floor access for outside installers.
Where does my service land in the booth by default?
Rear-center of the booth space. For peninsula and island booths, wherever is most convenient, unless you specify otherwise.
When do I need a booth diagram?
If you are ordering two or more connections, or requesting service at a specific spot, especially with carpet already installed, submit a booth diagram or grid with your order.
What happens if I cancel on-site?
On-site cancellations are not refunded.

Rigging

Rigging Rules and Limits

Encore Global is the SCC's exclusive in-house audio-visual provider, and the exclusive provider of chain hoists, truss, and all associated lifts for rigging, plus rigging labor, for production and sign-hanging anywhere in the building.

  • Reach the Encore rigging team directly at (203) 906-0462.
  • Rigging plots go to Encore for review and approval at least 30 days before your first move-in date.
  • Rigging orders have to be confirmed and paid in full 21 days before that same move-in date.
  • Separately, the Event Planner Guide requires a full move-in and move-out rigging plan on file with your Event Manager 60 days before the event, reviewed internally by Encore. That is a different document from the rigging plot above, not the same deadline stated twice.
