Where is an ATM located?
There is an ATM in passage between the South Pavilion and the West Pavilion.

What time can I start taking down my exhibit on Sunday?
All vendors are required to be open for business until 5:00pm on Sunday. This enables our attendees to take full advantage of their shopping needs. Demonstrations and clinics run until 5:00pm on Sunday. Thus, in maintaining consistency throughout our event, commercial exhibitors are required to do the same. Any tear-down before 5:00pm may result in loss of space for the following year.

Someone left a credit card at my booth. What should I do?
We do not do any general paging for this matter. You may leave the card in your booth (hopefully the person will remember where they left it), or you can take it to one of the Lost & Found location.


The Vendor next to me is outside of his/her booth space. What can I do?
Please work with your fellow vendors and encourage that they follow the rules. ALL exhibitors are required to stay within their contracted booth space to maintain Fire Marshal Codes. This is essential in maintaining a safe environment for everyone! If the issue cannot be worked out, please report to the Resource Office.

My phone line or electrical outlet does not work. What do I do?
Report the problem CPI directly at 317-595-7888, not the Resource Office.

Someone shoplifted or walked off with one of my products. What should I do?
Go to the HHF&E Building Coordinator to report, located in each building, and they will notify Security.

Can you store my cash box or merchandise overnight?
No, we cannot accept responsibility for vendor property. Vendors are responsible for making their own arrangements prior to the close of exhibition hours.

Can I get extra chairs, drapes, etc. for my booth?
You must order all booth furnishings and service through George E Fern at 317-635-9606. HHF&E does not provide these amenities.
