• Provide a copy of the certificate of insurance (COI) to MPE to AlexandraHa@mpeshows.com.

THIS IS NOT A LEASE: Licensed Exhibitor is granted a revocable license to use the exhibit space strictly in accordance with the following provisions.

Mobile or trailer exhibits: These types of exhibits are permitted only within the Exhibitor’s contracted booth space and where height permits. Exhibitors using mobile or trailer-type exhibits must give advance written notice to Management. Mobile or trailer exhibits cannot be used in parking areas or any other location outside of the contracted booth space during show hours.

MPE Exhibit/Product Acceptability Standards For 2025 (USA)

Effective January 1, 2024. Marketplace Events (MPE) acceptability standards do not permit political candidates, parties or other groups promoting issues or ballot initiatives to participate as exhibitors. In addition, the display or sale of any products or services that are political/partisan in nature or that can be interpreted to promote, incite, or glorify hatred, violence, racial, sexual, or religious intolerance are prohibited. MPE’s judgment in applying these standards will be final.

MPE shows are welcoming environments built solely to encourage face-to-face commerce. Creating respectful, safe marketplaces where our attendees and exhibitors can come together to learn, shop, compare pricing and do business together is our highest priority. MPE maintains these policies to ensure hospitable experiences for all attendees and exhibitors. 

ARRANGEMENT OF SPACE: The exhibitor shall arrange its displays so as not to obstruct the general view or conceal other exhibits or exit signs. Management will inspect exhibits before and during the show. Management’s determination will be binding. For inline booths, no products can be set on tables, risers, or racking that make the product exceed the 8’3” height limit. Exhibitors’ products, displays, and literature must remain in the contracted booth space and are not allowed in the aisles. No canopies or tents are permitted in booth space.

All tape or other material or lighting fixtures used in exhibit booths are to be removed following the Show and the exhibition area is to be returned to its prior condition.

SOUND CONTROL: Loudspeakers, radios, television sets, or the operation of any machinery or equipment, which is of sufficient volume to be annoying to neighboring Exhibitors, will NOT be permitted. Rule of thumb: sound & noise should not exceed 85 decibels. Public address systems used to attract the attention of people passing in front of your booth will NOT be permitted unless approved in advance by Management. In general, exhibitors may use sound equipment in their booths so long as the noise level does not disrupt the activities of neighboring exhibitors. Other artificial means to attract attention such as flags, flashing lights, or music are not permitted. Show management may, in its sole and absolute discretion, withdraw its consent at any time, if the sound is in violation of this rule, in which event the Exhibitor shall terminate such activity forthwith.

SECURITY: Colorado Convention Center will provide off-hours security. Neither Management nor its agents will be responsible for any personal injury to the Exhibitor or its agents, employees, or guests, or for the safety of the exhibits against theft, or for damage by fire, accidents, or other causes. The Exhibitor assumes all risk and is urged to take all such steps, measures, and precautions as necessary to protect itself, its agents, representatives, employees, and guests, as well as exhibits, displays, and property, against all possible injury, damage, loss, and destruction at the show and during move in and out.

SUBLETTING SPACE: The exhibitor space allotted to Exhibitor may be used only by the Exhibitor.

RELOCATION OF EXHIBITS: Management reserves the right to alter or relocate the location of the Exhibitors or booths as shown on the official floor plan if deemed the alterations are necessary to maintain the character and/or good order of the show. Management shall have further right to prohibit, bar, prevent, and remove any exhibit or proposed exhibit, or any part or portion thereof, which in the judgment of Management is unsuitable or inappropriate for the exhibition or purposes of the exhibition; and such right shall extend, but shall not be limited to all equipment, materials, displays, installations, and other items or things constituting part of or used in connection with any such exhibit.

LIABILITY: Exhibitor shall at all times (move-in, show days, move-out) protect, indemnify, save, and hold harmless Management, against and from any and all loss, cost, damage, liability, or expense arising from, or out of, or by reason of any accident, or another occurrence to anyone, including Exhibitor, its agents, employees, and business invitees, which arises from or out of, or by reason of, Exhibitor's acts or omissions, or occupancy and use of the exhibition area or hall or a part thereof.

EVENTUALITIES: In the event the exhibition hall or any part of the exhibit areas thereof are unavailable whether for the entire Show or a portion of the Show as a result of fire, flood, tempest, or any other such cause or as a result of governmental intervention, damage, acts of war, strike, lockout, labor dispute, riot, or any other cause or reason over which Management has no control or should Management decide that because of any such cause it is necessary to cancel, postpone or re-site the exhibit or the Show, or reduce the installation time, the exhibit hours, or move-out time, Management shall not be liable to Exhibitor with respect to any damage, expense or loss, direct or indirect, arising as a result therefrom.

INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT: All interpretations and enforcement of or under this agreement shall be made by Management and shall be final and binding. Management shall not be liable to Exhibitor or any other party for any loss claimed or resulting from any such interpretation or enforcement.

VIOLATIONS: Violation of any provision of this agreement, or any applicable term, rule, regulation, code, ordinance, or law, or any failure or refusal to comply with any request or interpretation by Management, shall entitle Management to revoke this exhibition license and cause the removal of Exhibitor and its exhibit from the Complex without refund. If any dispute arises in connection with this agreement, Exhibitor shall be liable for all costs of enforcing this agreement, including all attorney fees incurred by Management whether or not the suit is brought.
