Security Tips

---

Basic Security Measures Provided:

• Overnight storage rooms are provided free of charge for exhibitors to store
      valuables. To prevent theft or damage, please do not leave anything of great
      value in your booth overnight or during move-in and move-out.

• Uniformed guards will be stationed at entrances, exits and along the perimeter of
      each Exhibit Hall. This service will be provided 24 hours a day from the first
      move-in day to the last move-out day.

• Private guards for your booth may be hired from the official security contractor.

• Security cages may be rented from Freeman.

Guidelines for Protecting Your Products & Display:

The NASFT cannot assume responsibility for loss, damage or theft at the show.  Each exhibitor must be responsible for his/her own property. Adherence to the following recommendations and precautions plus the vigilance of the personnel in your booth, should ensure adequate security for your exhibit materials and personal property.

• Make sure your insurance coverage is adequate to protect your exhibit and
      product against damage or loss from the time it leaves your premises until
      it returns.

• When preparing exhibit material for shipment, avoid cartons that identify
      contents. Use plain shipping containers and coded labels.

• Assign people to be present at your booth when your exhibit material arrives to
      receive the shipment and take inventory. Report immediately to your Floor
      Manager any discrepancies between quantities shipped and quantities received.

• Move-In & Move-Out is a highly vulnerable period, so pay special attention to
      items easily pilfered during this time. Place them in locked containers when you
      can’t keep an eye on them.

• As an added security precaution for overnight, tape-off the perimeter or drape
      your booth.

• Do not put articles of any value in a container marked “EMPTY STORAGE.”

• Exhibitor’s must wear official show badges at all times.

• During show days, someone from your company should be in your booth one half
      hour prior to opening and one half hour after closing.

• Immediately report to security or show management the presence of any
      unauthorized visitors on the exhibit floor.

• Don’t leave personal items unguarded such as cellular phones, laptops, coats,
      wallets, handbags, briefcases, etc.

• To remove merchandise from the exhibit floor, exhibitors must be wearing an
      official show badge that matches their photo ID. Please remember, people
      wearing exhibitor badges with your company name on it are serving as
      representatives of your company. Therefore, any actions taken by these people
      fall under your responsibility, so please choose wisely. We suggest taking
      badges back from temp staff at the end of the show.

• Remember, and remind those staffing your booth, that while guard service is
      provided by the NASFT until the end of move-out, it remains your responsibility
      to take whatever precautions you deem necessary to protect your property. 
      Do not leave your booth unsupervised until your items have been picked up
      for shipping.

• Do not leave your sales leads unsecured in your Booth at any time. We
      recommend you take them with you at the end of each day.
