Your exhibit may not block an EXIT or hinder entry in/out of any area; you will be asked to relocate by hotel staff if deemed necessary; in addition, nothing may be adhered to the wall. All signage and banners must be free-standing.
Any materials shipped to Rancho Bernardo Inn will be delivered to the ASSIGNED BOOTH LOCATION. There will be a sign on each table with your company name indicating which table you pre-selected. For this to be expedited, it is essential that all shipments reflect the name of the booth representative, company name and conference name. Failure to do so may result in a delay in receipt of exhibit materials. If you do not see your boxes at your table, please check with your conference planner and provide tracking numbers for reference.
Security has not been arranged for this show. The Exhibit Room will be locked at the close of each showing; however, Rancho Bernardo Inn assumes no responsibility for loss of booth contents as the exhibitor is expected to provide appropriate insurance coverage.
It is recommended that all products and boxes be stored within the booth area. Any losses incurred as a result of the exhibitor’s failure to comply will be at the exhibitor’s expense.
Boxes should be stored under the booth table if they are to be re-used.
All exhibitors are requested to remain until all products have been prepared for shipment and confirmed by your conference planner. All exhibit materials must be loaded out and the room vacated no later than scheduled load out time. Exhibitors are required to pack, seal and label all boxes/cases complete with shipping label for EACH box, even if all boxes are shipping to same address. For your convenience, FedEx shipping labels, air bills and packing tape will be available at the Exhibitor Supply Table. Boxes are NOT available on site. It is essential that exhibitors retain ALL BOXES until all the products have been packed.
Once all boxes have been sealed and are ready for shipment, please notify your conference planner who will verify the readiness of your materials. Please do not leave the exhibit area until someone has verified your shipment.
Banding equipment IS NOT available. Re-wrapping of pallets is available, notify the Conference Planner when this is needed, one hour prior.
If you are not re-shipping your product, you must discard all product in the 32-gallon trash cans provided throughout the exhibit area. The resort will not be responsible for tearing down your exhibit and discarding your product.
For billing purposes, each exhibitor must record their Shipper billing number (FedEx) on the FedEx label. If you prefer to ship with another carrier, you must provide your own labels as they will not be provided for you.
Arrangements for pick up via Air Freight/Truck Line should be made prior to arrival. Please schedule pick up on the day following the show. Exhibitor must provide completed “Bill of Landing” for each destination.

IMN's Accessory Dwelling Units - Exhibitor Form
Better Stands: highlighting sustainability best practices
Sustainability is increasingly important to event attendees – Around 80% of the typical event participants tell us so. We also know it’s increasingly important to our exhibitors like you, who are looking to protect and enhance your brand. Exhibiting gives you the opportunity to highlight your company’s sustainability credentials and align with an event that champions sustainability and protects your reputation.
We encourage everyone to work towards a Bronze level or ensure that your exhibit meets Bronze level. This means that the stand structure and walls, platform or raised flooring, furniture, equipment and lighting are all reused. Doing this usually eliminates most of the waste and takes a big step towards reusability without compromising on cost or stand design.
