Did you know that there is a difference between ordering your electrical power at the show and having it installed? You must read every one of your show forms to determine whether you need to have it installed separately. In many cities, mostly in the southern USA – when you buy a unit of electricity it is installed at your exhibit without additional charges. However, in most of the big convention cities including Las Vegas, San Francisco, Chicago and New York – there is an additional fee for electrical labor and depending upon the day and time you schedule your electrical labor it can be quite expensive. Union labor rates may drive those costs up higher in cities with high rates. Your exhibit house should be able to help you with these forms – they work around this everyday and usually can make the most qualified analysis of your electrical needs.
