Sport oriented products only:
SportCo Athletics is always proud that this show is in the sport nature. In order to maintain this characteristic, the show management has established a policy
that only sport oriented products can be displayed. That means that products or services that are not directly or indirectly used for sports all others will not be permitted in the show, without approval by show management.
Sublet and Combined Exhibits:
Under the terms of your "Participation Agreement", exhibitors are not allowed to sublet or combine any portion of their exhibit space without written approval from show management.
Dispensing of Adverting Materials:
No exhibitor will be allowed to distribute literature or merchandise outside their exhibit area. Exhibitors may only display signs and dispense literature and advertising materials pertaining to their contracted business and service. Show Management will remove signs, literature, and business cards of businesses or persons not contracted with the Show, and may eliminate the offending exhibitor from future shows. Prize/ raffle boxes not directly affiliated with an exhibitor are not allowed.
Occupancy of Booth Space
Your exhibit space must be staffed during advertised show hours (See show hours above)
Only the exhibitor’s goods and services contracted with the show can be exhibited in the
booth space. No non-contracted service or business can be represented in your booth space. Any exhibits that are not staffed during show hours will be fined and may not be accepted as an exhibitor in the next All Sport Expo.
Early Dismantle of Exhibit
Exhibitors who begin to tear down before 5:00 pm Sunday may be eliminated from future shows. SportCo Athletics will fine any exhibitor $100.00 that moves out or commences to dismantle the
exhibit before closing of the show.
Aisle Restrictions
No exhibit can obstruct the aisles, encroach on neighboring booths, or operate its exhibit causing
interference, annoyance or endangerment to other exhibitors or visitors. This restriction applies to, but is not limited to, volume of P.A. systems, persons, musical instruments or any device which volume might be objectionable to Show Management. Exhibitors, their agents, employees, and business invitees may only conduct business within their assigned exhibit space.
Microphones, Amplification, & P.A. Systems
No exhibitor will be allowed to use a microphone, music amplification, or P.A. system in their display area. Without prior permission from show management.
Sound
Video equipment and disc jockey sound systems must be placed toward the back of the exhibit space. Exhibitors are asked to monitor their own booths to be sure the noise levels from video and disc jockey sound systems are kept to a minimum and do not interfere with others. The use of sound systems or equipment producing sound is an exception to the rules, not a right. Show management reserves the right to determine at what point the sound interferes with others and must be discontinued. You will only be asked to turn your system down once before we ask you to turn your system off.
Tape
The use of single sided or double stick foam tape, cellophane tape or masking tape is prohibited on any surface of the HUB.
Defacement to The Valley Hub
Decorations may not be affixed to any surface in the building. No holes may be drilled, cored or punched into the building. Samples may not include stick-on decals or lighter than air balloons.
Height Restrictions
All exhibits must not exceed 8’ in height. If your display will exceed 8’ in height or you will be covering your booth with a tent or fabric you must get prior show management approval. Please refer to the show floor plan booth height legend, for the maximum height restriction for your booth
location before applying for a variance. If any part of your booth is approved to exceed the 8’ height limit and can be seen from the adjacent aisle way, you will be responsible for back draping with white drapery from the show decorator at your expense. Intent: If a portion of an exhibit booth extends above 8’ high, the exhibit booth background will detract from the overall impact of the exhibit directly behind that booth.
Sidewalls
Exhibitors are entitled to a reasonable sight line from the aisle regardless of the size of the exhibit space. Exhibitors can only block with displays half of their sidewall from back to front. No part of your sidewall can exceed 8’ in height. The back of sidewalls and displays must also be astatically pleasing toward neighboring booths. No exhibit or product can protrude into the aisle ways.
Signs
Exhibitor identification signs with booth numbers will be provided by show management and must be kept visible within your exhibit space until the show opens. Additional signage is highly recommended and encouraged by show management. The Maximum height for any sign will be 8' from the floor. If you have received approval from show management for a back drop that exceeds 8', your maximum sign height can be 10'.
Exhibitor Presentation (Display)
It is the goal of the All Sport Expo to present the widest variety of sport related products and
services in a tasteful professional manner. This includes displays, signage and personnel. Exhibitors who are unable to meet this goal will be contacted by Show Management on site or shortly after the show has concluded to discuss their presentation for the following year’s show. Continued inability to meet show standards will result in the loss of participation in future shows.
Consumer Complaints
Show management is not a mediator for consumer complains and will not get involved with them.
Exhibitors that have complaints levied against them by consumers to show management will be contacted by show management about the complaint. An exhibitor may loose participation in the show, if they receive complaints of unethical business practices or for not providing the service or product that they promoted.
Food Samples
Exhibitors who wish to distribute food or beverages may do so with these restrictions. Food samples can be no larger than bite-size, and beverage samples no larger than 3 ounces. You must also meet Health Department food preparation and distribution regulations.
(See the health department for more information)

dumpster and recycle area on the on the northeast side of the building. Please do not leave garbage in the aisles before or after the show. You are also responsible for emptying your wastebasket in your exhibit space during the show.

SportCo Athletics will have 24-hour security, and the show will be securely locked after show hours. The Valley HUB and Show Management are not responsible for theft or breakage that could occur in your booth. We advise exhibitors to take the following safety precautions:
Do not leave your booth unattended. This includes arriving in plenty of time before the show opens, and not leaving the show until the show has closed. Valuables that can easily be put into a pocket or purse should be put away or covered each night before leaving. We suggest blankets, sheets or tarps to cover merchandise.
