It's a slightly unique situation at Pinners St. George because of the fact that the convention center itself does all of the decorating, booth set-up and supplying. You can bring your own booth items but for this Pinners only we will be supplying not only your draped booth space (8' back wall and 3' sides), but also a table and two chairs. You may also order additional items from the Dixie Convention Center. We will post a list of other options (and an Exhibitor Kit) here soon.
* Material handing can also be arranged through the convention center. More details posted here soon.
Wifi internet for exhibitors will be FREE compliments of Pinners Conference! We've been told it should be good enough to run all transactions, etc.
You can order electric from the convention center. A standard electrical outlet here is around $100. Larger ampage available at a higher cost.
We are fortunate in this venue to not have a lot of set-up and design regulations. Here are a few show rules:
* All booth amenities must be within the allotted space (nothing in the isles) unless pre-approved.
* Anything deemed unsafe in the opinion of the show organizer (such as tipping hazards) will be required to change.
* Solid side walls on your booth may not extend farther than halfway to the front of the booth. This is so we don't block the view to each other as visitors walk down the aisle. Some shows have designated "full wall" booth areas.
* The provided drape rods will support normal banners but in general are not to be used as booth support.
* Helium balloons can be used, but only if they are attached securely to your booth. Please do not hand out helium balloons.
Scam e-mails offering e-mail lists for purchaseWe have learned from several exhibitors they are receiving scam emails offering attendee lists for purchase. Please be aware these offers are fraudulent. These scammers do not have any relationship with Pinners or Bennett Events and they do NOT have the data they are attempting to sell. Scams may also include fake invoices and hotel booking scams. Do not interact with these. Our emails are from bennettevents.com. We are a permission-based email sender. We do not share, rent or sell our email lists. Please be on guard! Spammers are known to impersonate employees and illegally use show logos.

This is a great way to get added exposure with VIP's and presenter influencers. We will have a VIP party on Thursday night that will include raffle tickets. We will be drawing raffle tickets, announcing the presenting companiy and giveaways and awarding winners towards the end of the party.
Contributing an item to the VIP/Presenter swag bag is an opportunity to get your brand and products even more exposure to this great group (please no coupons/flyers) and you can contribute to for free! You will need to bring 250 items with you to setup Thursday morning, and we’ll take care of the rest.
If you'd like to participate, please contact Darienne (801.822.1333) or e-mail her here.
The Dixie Convention Center does not allow giving away drinks, including water, at their shows. If you are dealing with any food items (except candy bowls) at the show, you'll need to apply with the convention center. Extra charges may apply. When approved, you will also need to check with the Washington County Health Department to find out if you need a temporary food handlers permit. Some foods do, some foods don't. Even if you are a current food handler, you may need a temporary permit for the show. Prepackaged candy bowls are fine of course.
