EXHIBIT HALL SECURITY
Entry to the Exhibit hall is restricted when the Hall is closed to ensure safety and security. No one will be allowed in the Exhibit Hall during closed hours unless approved by the Symposia Director or the Director of Exhibitor Services. If approval is granted, the exhibitor will be escorted by symposia staff or security.
SET UP ARMBANDS REQUIRED
Armbands are required for exhibitors setting up or breaking down booths.
Here’s what you need to know about the Set Up Armband:
- Valid only during set up times, Sunday – Monday and again Thursday.
- Retrieving a Set Up Armband does not require a registration form. Your Set Up crew simply needs to pick up an armband from the Exhibitor Registration Counters outside the Exhibit Hall.
- ATPS Event badges are required to enter the Exhibit Hall outside of Set Up hours. You can pick up your event badge starting Sunday, 1630 – 1800 and use it throughout the symposium.
