HEALTH & SAFETY PERSONAL SAFETY • Event Management works diligently with the facility prior to each event to ensure the safety and security of all exhibitors, attendees, and the event. If you have any security concerns leading up to the event or on-site, bring them to the attention of Event Management.

SIMPLE SUSTAINABILITY SUGGESTIONS

• All persons in the exhibit area must wear a badge. This includes during move-in, event hours, and move-out. Exhibitors are responsible for ordering badges for their workers and staff.

Going green doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive. Thinking sustainably can help reduce the environmental impact of exhibiting while helping save your business money. Here are a few eco-friendly trade show ideas and tips for exhibitors to reduce waste while onsite:

• Notify Event Management, or security immediately if you notice any safety hazards or witness anyone being injured anywhere in the building or nearby outside spaces.

• Be aware and be prepared. When you leave the facility at the end of the day, remove your badge and have all emergency numbers saved into your phone. Be aware of your surroundings and take caution, especially in the evenings. Travel in pairs or call a cab.

• Lost & Found articles may be turned in or claimed at the Show Office in Lobby D during event days. After the event contact the Security Department in Room D108.

SAFEGUARDING BOOTH PROPERTY • Coordinate shipping and deliveries. Try to be onsite when your product is being delivered to your booth and conduct an inventory immediately to note any missing or damaged items.

• Try to greet anyone that comes into your booth as this will send a signal that you are aware of their presence and discourage any perpetrators from attempting to steal.

• Store any valuables in a locked cabinet and cover your displays with a tarp or other covering so your booth items are less visible. Do not leave purses, briefcases, or valuables behind drapes or underneath tables, as this is the first place any thief will look.

• If your booth contains a lot of valuables which are difficult to secure or time-consuming to setup or teardown daily, it is recommended that your hire your own security guard overnight.

• During the start of move-out, stay with your booth until all your items are fully packed up. Do not leave your booth immediately; spend some time in your booth until the floor clears. This is a common time during which theft occurs. Schedule outbound travel accordingly.

• Obtain proper insurance coverage for your goods, including transit to and from the event site.

• Do not leave any prototype product unsecured in your booth.

EXHIBIT HALL SECURITY • Be Careful! Event Management has a 24-hour security service for general surveillance of the event and facility as a whole. This does not include individual booth monitoring and it is up to exhibitors to exercise prudent judgment and to safeguard your personal property and belongings.

• Even with security as protection, exhibitors are asked to take precautions in guarding their exhibits. Remember that move-in and move-out hours are particularly sensitive times when thefts are most likely to occur. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR BOOTH UNATTENDED. At the end of each day, take any valuables with you. If you need to leave, we strongly recommend packing up all items and hiring private security for your booth.

• Security guards will "sweep" the halls at the close of the event each day to clear them of all visitors and personnel. Only exhibitor personnel who have requested special permission will be allowed in the halls after closing.

• Any thefts or damage must be reported to event management or security immediately.

• All concessions sold in the Atrium (Hall C Lobby) will be fully compostable. Visit one of our three-bin Waste Stations to compost food and other biodegradable products.

• Consider bringing your own reusable water bottle onsite – there will be filtered water stations to fill up.

• In your booth space, evaluate your print needs by considering what information you can send out digitally. This helps vastly reduce paper waste at trade shows. You can also use environmentally conscious local printers to avoid the costs and carbon footprint of shipping.

- If you must print, create reusable non-dated signs that can be used year after year. Consider printing on a more sustainable material such as durable cardboard.

• Avoid carpet and bring your own flooring, like puzzle foam flooring that can be reused at all your shows • Break down ALL cardboard boxes and put in the correct recycling bins • Request additional booth bins for recycling and compost collection.

• Set a goal to leave no trace behind by shipping out all booth properties, packing materials, and donating extra giveaways.

EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN Exhibitors should report any suspicious activity as soon as possible to the MCCNO Public Safety immediately, and describe specifically what you observed, including: who or what you saw, when you saw it, where it occurred and why it's suspicious.

MORIAL CONVENTION CENTER EMERGENCY PROTOCOL It is important to stay calm when reporting an incident.

The emergency number 504-582-3040 is the primary emergency number for the facility. The Dispatcher will dispatch EMS, Officers, Event Managers, etc. Please refrain from calling 911. The convention center is very large; Facility and Public Safety personnel coordinate the movement of emergency services to the scene.

The MCCNO has the New Orleans Fire Department EMS stationed in permanent Medical Rooms located in Lobby B, Lobby E, and Lobby H, during move in, event hours, and move out. Medical facilities are clearly identified with visual and Braille signs.

IN AN EMERGENCY CALL : Public Safety Dispatch: 504-582-3040 **Refrain from calling 911, and call Public Safety Dispatch first!
