Ordering Tips!
1. To find out which outlet to order, simply add together the wattage of each electronic piece. There is a nameplate showing the power consumption on the bottom or back of the equipment. For example, 10 - 100 watt light bulbs total: 1000 watt. You would order one 1500 watt outlet. Power is included in all outlets.

2. If you need to have continuous power 24 hours a day, you need to order 24-hour power. Examples include power for refrigerator, aquariums, etc. Normal show power operating hours are generally 8:00am to 4:30pm during move-in and "show hours" during show days.

3.Peninsula/Island Booths: If you have a booth that is open on all 4 sides, you must order electrical services located in the “Undercarpet/Special Placement Power” or “Overhead power” sections. There is no “back of booth” option in your space.
