EARLY TEARDOWN POLICY

Early Breakdown Warning – Enforcement & Penalties

Early booth breakdown is strictly prohibited. An exhibitor is in violation of early breakdown if they start to break down their booth, remove product from their shelves, box up product and are unable to conduct business in their booth PRIOR TO 4:00 PM on Thursday, March 19, 2026. Show Management will have teams of staff on the show floor the last day to enforce compliance of this policy. If your booth is breaking down, we will take photographs and your company will receive a fine of $500 for first time violators, $1,000 fine for 2nd time violators and 3rd time violators will forfeit opportunity to participate in the show.

Dollies, carts and other move-out equipment are not allowed on the show floor until after 4:00 PM on Thursday, March 19, 2026.

STAFF BADGES

To ensure the safety and security of our exhibitors and attendees, ASD has put in place new badge allotment and pickup guidelines.

ASD MARKET WEEK does not mail badges. Each member of an exhibiting booth staff may only pick up their individual badge, and MAY NOT pick up any other badges for their group. Each staff member will receive an individual email confirmation to the email address provided during registration. Each person must bring their confirmation, business card and a photo ID to the BADGE PICK UP counter at registration to receive your badge.

Please be advised that when ordering your company’s Exhibitor Badges, you should ONLY be registering your company personnel that will be working your booth at the Show and SHOULD NOT be registering any other members of the industry who are not employed by your company.

The authorized contact is the only staff member who can make additions and changes to your original badge request, both in advance and on site at the Show. As an authorized contact you certify that the persons listed on Exhibitor Badge Registration are bona fide employees of your company. All violations are subject to a $500 fine. Any Exhibitor or authorized contact of an exhibitor found to be in violation of the show badge regulations is subject to a fine as well as the possible loss of their booth space.

All personnel accessing the show floor are required to wear an “EXHIBITOR” badge at all times. Each company is allotted 3 badges per 10 x 10 booth. If you need additional badges, there is a $60 administrative fee per badge. Lost badges are $100 to reprint. Your badge(s) are the property of ASD, and are non-transferable and may be revoked at any time. Please note that if you misplace your badge you are jeopardizing the security of ASD.

ASD is committed to ensuring the authenticity of exhibitor and attendee badges. Please be sure to keep your ID on your person at all times, as we will require you to show it each time you enter the hall.

If you have any questions or changes to your registration information, contact us.
