• Entrance and exit doors shall remain unobstructed at all times.
• Fire extinguishers and fire-hose cabinets shall remain visible and accessible at all times.

Combustibles Kept Outside

Electrical Devices

• All electrical devices with three-wire supply cords shall utilize “UL” ground receptacles.
• All electrical extension cords must be of heavy-duty three-wire construction.
• All power cords must be kept behind the display with nothing placed on top of any cords.

Notification & Special Events

As an exhibitor, you must obtain prior written approval from ISE and apply for a special permit (submitted at least 15 days in advance of the show) if you intend to display, operate, or use any of the below items:

• Heater, barbecue, heat-producing or open-flame device, candles, lamps, lanterns, etc.
• Electrical, mechanical or chemical device deemed hazardous by the Fire Department
• Internal-combustion engines
• Flammable liquids, compressed gasses, or dangerous chemicals

Safety & Security

Neither ISE nor the Facility Management is financially liable for losses of any kind.
All Exhibitors are responsible for carrying General Liability insurance and insuring their exhibit.
The potential of theft and disappearance can be greatly reduced if a few simple precautions are taken:

• Avoid leaving any small items of significant value in booths overnight.
• If possible, cover your display with a flameproof drop cloth.
• Run wire or cable through as many items as possible and lock. A solidly constructed, lockable trunk provides security and storage for small articles.
• Make sure all labels are properly completed for items left to be shipped or stored.
• Report any suspicious person or theft in the building or on the grounds immediately to ISE Registration/Information Desk and we will notify Security Officers and file an incident report.
• Lock valuables in the trunk of your car where they are not visible.
• Travel in pairs at night.
• Ask your hotel for a safe deposit box to store valuables. (Examples - extra cash, checks, credit card receipts)
