If your exhibit requires special consideration then we invite you to contact us immediately.
Bump In / Bump OutSpecial Note to all Exhibitors on unloading on the day- The unloading area at the loading docks is very cramped & requires you to drive in forwards & reverse out, if you do not have bulk items to unload I would suggest that you port your items in directly from the parking area to reduce congestion. If you do need to unload at the dock area, unload & leave items there whilst you park your vehicle we will have Lioness ladies to watch over your items whilst you do this). This will help once again to alleviate congestion. I suggest that you allow yourself extra time for set up & please be patient.
Bump in time is from 6:30am for a 10 am start. Completion of the expo is 3:15pm with bump out to be completed by 5pm. A Security Guard will be provided for the entry / exit door area. An AV Technician will be in attendance for your support. Lioness Ladies will look after stalls and equipment if you need to be away for any set time.
High LightsAs part of our expo creative displays will be performed during the day. These are to be held in the foyer leading to the auditorium and participation will be invited from early registrations. A Wedding Services Auction will be a highlight during the day. Participation is voluntary. Prizes donated by Magenta Shores will be drawn hourly: At 11am and again at 1:00pm we will host our special show entitled “The Dressing of the Bride”. This will create an opportunity for early registrations to volunteer their services to be part of an exciting event that introduces the many services that make up the wedding profession. These shows will take place on the centre stage area and will be shown live on the overhead screens situated in the auditorium and pre-function area. As a special treat free dance demonstrations will be available in between promotions. All brides will receive a special free edition of the WHITE wedding magazine.
