Global Experience Specialists (GES) are the general service contractor for the Global Produce & Floral Show in Atlanta. They are the exclusive provider of services listed below.

Georgia is a "right-to-work" state. Exhibitors can utilize GES or use their own company personnel to install and dismantle displays. Exhibitors are allowed to use two-wheel dollies to bring materials onto the show floor as long as each load weighs less than 250 lbs. total.

Material Handling - The unloading and delivery of all material and equipment from the convention center dock to exhibitor booths and loading out from exhibitor booths to trucks at the docks MUST be performed by GES.
Labor and Equipment - All mechanical and/or self-propelled equipment on the trade show floor must be under the control of GES. This includes forklifts, scooters, pallet jacks, genie lifts, and all other mechanical equipment.
Storage - Exhibitors cannot store empty crates or pallets in their exhibit booth; they must be tagged and stored by GES. Empty crates (known as "empties") will be returned to exhibitors after the show closes (note: this process could take hours).
Hanging Signs/Rigging - All rigging and sign hanging must be done by GES. All rigging plans with combined loads over 250 lbs. must be reviewed by GES.

Exhibitor Appointed Contractors 

An Exhibitor Appointed Contractor (EAC) is any contractor NOT listed on the approved vendor list (appointed to provide services such as display installation, dismantling, audio visual firms, etc.) that will need access to your booth during setup/tear-down hours to assist with your exhibit. If an EAC needs access to your booth during expo hours, you must provide them with an official badge (wristbands will not be accepted on the show floor during expo hours).

Review the necessary requirements for using EACs so they can access the show floor for setup and dismantling without any delays or issues.
