FIRST STEP: Contact Barrileigh at aProductions to discuss your booth setup and she will assist in determining what kind of labour you will require. The requirement of having union labour involved in setting up your booth is dependent on the type of booth you have, not necessarily the size of your booth. If you do require to use union labour, we will assist in planning by identifying your booth components that require union labour and by using pooled labour so you only pay for labour you need and use.
You Require Union Labour if any of these are true:

You will not require Union Labour if this is true of your booth setup:
You can bring all the contents onto the show floor using Enercare carts and dollies i.e. you don’t need a forklift.Your booth setup is composed of pieces that are easily assembled by reps and the pieces are simple and not structurally significant i.e. pullups, booth backdrop, collateral displays
