Guidelines

We have prepared the following list of guidelines to assist those who are exhibiting in facilities of the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel.

  1. Advertising material may be distributed only from those firms who have engaged space.
  2. No part of any exhibit or related sign may be pasted, nailed, taped, tacked, stapled, or otherwise attached to walls or doors.
  3. Adhesive-backed (stick-on) decals or similar items should not be distributed, with the exception of name tabs.
  4. Signs should be professionally prepared and displayed only on hotel approved easels.
  5. Food and beverage products not purchased from the Hotel may only be distributed (whether complimentary or sold) with the written permission of the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel.
  6. Deliveries of exhibit material are to be directed to the Hotel' loading dock on Lyon Street (see Shipping and Receiving Information.)
  7. Telephone and Electrical requirements should be discussed with the Hotel Convention Service Manager before arrival. All special electrical work required by exhibitors will be done on a time and material basis at prevailing Hotel rates. (Check with Marcele Edington at 517-373-6330 or Judy Baker at 517-335-6879)
  8. All electrical apparatus must conform to City of Grand Rapids Fire Code and the Policies of Amway Grand Plaza Hotel.
  9. All exhibit material should be dismantled, packed and ready for removal immediately following the posted closing hour of the exhibition (see Shipping and Receiving Information.)
  10. The Hotel cannot guarantee exhibitors against loss or damage of any kind. Space is leased with the understanding that the exhibitor will hold the Hotel harmless from any and all liabilities for any cause.
  11. These guidelines should be listed in show brochures, programs or exhibitor packets along with shipping and receiving instructions. It is the responsibility of the organization reserving Amway Grand Plaza space to inform exhibitors of these guidelines. Unethical conduct or infraction or these guidelines on the part of the exhibitors or their representatives will subject the exhibitors to dismissal from the Hotel. For additional information, contact the Amway Grand Plaza Hotel Convention Service Department at 616-776-6400.
