NOTE: Fern Expo and the Oregon Convention Center needs set up plans from any exhibitor with displays over 3,000 pounds. Exhibitors are allowed to set up their own booth display, but are not allowed to do any rigging or use their own forklift. Equipment and labor may be ordered in the Exhibitor Kit, or at the showsite service desk. If exhibitors want a third party other than Fern Expo to help with set up of their booth, they must complete and submit the Exhibitor Appointed Contractor Approval Form included in the Exhibitor Kit (available first of January).
