Loading and Setting Up

All Silver/Booth sponsors will receive a 10ft area with one 6ft table and linen.

LOAD IN NOTES: Reminder to bring your extension cords (the Conference does not have extension cords for everyone).

Any LARGE items that require the loading dock are available Saturday between 7 PM-10 PM. 

Once you are at the loading dock, you must call Client Services (250-704-6752)  to access the building. Smaller vendors can use the courtyard and Douglas street lane for move-in. Douglas street doesn’t have ramps, so that would be more pop-up banner vendors and lighter move-ins.

We will have access to the Pre-Function area at 7 am on Sunday, but as I mentioned, the loading dock will not be available in the morning until after 10 AM. VIS Team Staff will be on-site at 8 AM. Athletes will arrive at 9 AM, and the first show is at 10 AM.

 

LOUT OUT NOTES: Reminder to kindly dispose of or remove any garbage, floor wraps, merchandise, etc., following the event (7 PM). Then, you can use the loading dock for the move-out.

LOADING DOCK: This is a reminder to please unload and move your vehicle. This space is not for parking. Access is available Saturday between 7-10 PM and Sunday after 10 AM.  

Volunteers

Call time will be Saturday, April 22, 2022, at 10:00 AM and Sunday, April 23, 2023, at 8:00 AM.

I will send out details about roles and responsibilities in a separate email closer to show weekend.
