2008 Fall Request to use an Independent Contractor

Certificate of insurance must be provided by the independent contractor.
Deadline July 16, 2008. The deadline will not be extended.

If your booth cannot be set up by one person in one-half hour without the use of tools, you must use local union labor. Companies who wish to obtain labor through an independent contractor must return this form to the CDA office no later than July 16, 2008. No Exceptions. Companies that do not submit their requests by that date must use show management labor.

Please note: Notification must come from the exhibiting company, not the independent contractor. Requests coming directly from the independent contractor will not be acknowledged. Independent contractors should contact their client for service kits, booth numbers, floor plans or other information relating to the exhibitor's booth. If the independent contractor contacts CDA for a service kit, they will be charged $25 for every kit requested.

The following rules of conduct must be adhered to by all independent contractors. Exhibiting companies are responsible for notifying independent contractors of these rules:

1. All personnel must register at the security desk located at the freight entrance of the exhibit hall.
2. Independent contractors may not set up hospitality desks or otherwise utilize any part of the exhibit hall to conduct business other than the assembling and dismantling of the booths for which they have been contracted and approved.
3. Solicitation of business on the exhibit floor is strictly prohibited. Violation of this rule will result in a minimum one-year suspension of privileges.
4. Independent contractors must provide CDA with a certificate of insurance by the above deadline. Contractors who fail to meet the deadline will not be allowed on the floor.
5. Independent contractors must abide by the rules and regulations included in this Exhibitor Prospectus.
