To make NBAA-BACE a successful event for all participants, exhibitors must review and abide by the exhibitor rules below, the NBAA-BACE Exhibitor Contract Terms & Conditions and any additional rules published in the Exhibitor Service Kit.


Aircraft Arrivals

Sunday October 14, 2018 is the assigned day for positioning aircraft in the exhibit spaces. To manage the large number of aircraft arrivals, NBAA will use a zone system for assigning targeted arrival windows for all aircraft. The parking position of the aircraft within the static display will determine which arrival window each aircraft must meet. Aircraft failing to arrive during the assigned window may be denied placement in the static display.

To further assist NBAA in planning, exhibitors must complete and return the Aircraft Arrival Information Form to NBAA no later than Friday, September 10, 2018. While some information, such as specific tail numbers or type of aircraft, may not be known by September 10, it is important that NBAA knows the scope of your display. If the specifics are not known, kindly indicate general type of aircraft: light, mid, large jet, turboprop, etc.


Aircraft Servicing

NBAA highly recommends that aircraft be fully serviced prior to moving onto the display site. No fueling will be permitted during the show hours. Crews are encouraged to have aircraft fueled prior to being accepted into the static display. To prevent fuel spills aircraft fuel loads will be limited to 80% of the tank capacity. Due to the high volume of departures on Thursday, October 18, aircraft may experience significant delays when requesting servicing.


Aircraft Towing

LEKTRO has been designated as the official towing company for NBAA. Each aircraft must pay the appropriate weight based aircraft movement fee. These fees are collected by NBAA and remitted directly to LEKTRO. The aircraft movement fee covers the towing of aircraft to/from the transient parking areas to the exhibitors space and placement as shown on the official NBAA static display layout. Onsite changes to the layout (excluding minor adjustments for aesthetics) will be billed at the rate of $200 per hour per tug, a 1-hour minimum will be applicable. Exhibitors requiring aircraft movements earlier than Saturday, October 13, 2018 will incur additional fees based on timing and manpower requirements. The fees will be quoted by NBAA in advance.

Aircraft Towing Towing fee per
Less than 6,000 lbs MTOW $420
6,000 lbs – 14,999 lbs MTOW $575
15,000 lbs – 34,999 lbs MTOW $735
35,000 lbs – 100,000 lbs MTOW $900
Over 100,000 lbs MTOW $1,825

Air Conditioning Units (ACUs)

AEM International is the exclusive provider of Air Conditioning Units (ACUs) at NBAA-BACE. All ACUs must be sourced directly and solely from AEM. AEM recognizes the right of exhibitors to provide their own and ACUs, subject to the following terms.

Exhibitor-owned ACUs must be the wholly-owned property of the exhibitor and not the real property of the exhibitor’s I&D contractor, display house, contracted third-party or agent or provided to the exhibitor under loan, lease or rent wherein full ownership of the equipment does not reside with the exhibitor at all times.

Exhibitor-owned ACUs approved by AEM for use at the static displays will be subject to an administrative fee from AEM to the exhibitor equal to 15% of the equivalent equipment quote value for GPUs and ACUs supplied by AEM.

Exhibitors should contact AEM International’s Ulrich Koch at ukoch@aeminternational.com or +1 (514) 695-1331 for further information or to obtain pricing information.

Banners, Banner Poles & Flags

Banners are allowed on the static display providing they are fully within your allocated exhibit space and observe all set-back requirements. Banners may not be affixed to any airport structures or fencing without expressed written consent from NBAA show management. Banners must be affixed to a mounting location of sufficient rigidity to maintain location and control of the banner during any weather event with winds up to 15 miles per hour. Banners must be mounted or affixed in such a manner that they can be taken down quickly in a weather event. NBAA management reserves the right to require the removal of banners as the need for safe operations is paramount. Exhibitor is responsible for banner removal at any time that the exhibit space will not be staffed. Banners that are not removed for non-staffed hours will be removed by NBAA personnel and the exhibitor will be billed accordingly.

Banner Poles and Flag Poles

Banner poles and flag poles are subject to the same rules as banners with the addition of a height restriction of 19’ (5.8M). If you have a banner pole or flag pole that exceeds 19’ (5.8M) in height please contact Tracy Tippett ttippett@nbaa.org or Joe Hart jhart@nbaa.org for individual case consideration.

The total number of banner poles of flag poles on your exhibit space cannot exceed your space perimeter measurement divided by 40.

Example: a 100’ x 300’ exhibit space perimeter measures 800’. 800’ / 40= 20 Banner Poles or Flag poles allowed.
Banner poles and flag poles should be sufficiently weighted to not be easily blown over. Banner poles and flag poles must be placed inside the exhibit space far enough that in the event they are blown over they will not land in another exhibitor’s space or strike another exhibitor’s display.

Exhibitor is responsible for banner pole or flag pole lowering at any time that the exhibit space will not be staffed. Banner poles or flag poles that are not lowered for non-staffed hours will be removed by NBAA personnel and the exhibitor will be billed accordingly.

NBAA management reserves the right to require the lowering of banner poles or flag poles as the need for safe operations is paramount.


Booth Events

Exhibitors are encouraged to host at-booth events. If you are planning to host an event in your booth for badged attendees on Tuesday, Oct. 16 or Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2018, during or after official show hours, please submit your request for approval on the NBAA-BACE Exhibitor-Hosted Booth Event Approval Request form prior to August 13, 2018.

Exhibitors planning events that will include catering must plan their events to ensure that all elements of their events, including catering and guests, are contained within their purchased exhibit space. Catering and beverage service must close 30 minutes prior to the scheduled end of the booth event.

Once your event is approved, a confirmation will be sent to you along with a map and floor plan designating the entry and exit point for your guests. This is the only location from which your quests will be allowed to enter or exit the exhibit hall at any time before or after official show hours.


Carpeting

Aircraft entry carpet and walkway carpets are permitted on the static display, however carpet cannot be affixed to the pavement with nails, screws or glue. Double-sided carpet tape is permissible. Exhibitors and/or their show contractors should install the carpet in such a manner that high winds will not lift or blow under the carpet and cause a hazard.


Catering

Puff N Stuff and TPI are the preferred caterers at the static display. Exhibitors may use other caterers as long as they comply with the EAC rules.


Children

NBAA-BACE is a business event. Exhibitors are requested to kindly advise their sales people and customers that children under 12 are never permitted on the Orange County Convention Center exhibit floor or at the static display of aircraft – under any circumstances. Children ages 12 to 17 may access exhibits during official exhibit hours only provided that they register, pay appropriate fees and are accompanied by an adult at all times. Children between the ages of 12 to 17 will not be permitted in exhibit areas during installation and teardown. NBAA will not be held responsible by or for any cause whatsoever.

Please note that Thursday, October 18 is the NBAA-BACE Careers in Business Aviation Day. NBAA invites middle school, high school and university students interested in pursuing future careers in business aviation to attend the show. Thus, exhibitors can expect to see students on the exhibit floor on this day. Exhibitors who would like to participate in the Career Day should contact NBAA’s Peter Korns at pkorns@nbaa.org.


Cleaning

Exhibitors are responsible for the proper disposal of set up and tear down materials. Exhibitors and EAC’s with bulk trash may order large receptacles and or dumpsters through Freeman.

NBAA will arrange to clean aisles after show hours and prior to opening each show day. This service does not include dusting, arranging, vacuuming or otherwise maintaining individual exhibits. Removal of trash cans is also not included. Exhibitors must keep their displays neatly organized. Order forms for cleaning services will be provided in the Exhibitor Service Kit.

Cleaning is not an exclusive service and can be done as the exhibitor sees fit.


Co-exhibitors/Companies Sharing Exhibit Space

Exhibitors who do not submit plans to NBAA will have their displays set up at the discretion of NBAA management. NBAA management can assist exhibitors having trouble developing scaled plans. The layout should illustrate aircraft positioning with respect to neighboring exhibitors and aisles. Also, chalets/tents/structures, mockups, etc. must be factored in to your individual layout.

Note: The use of carpet in a tent without a raised floor is highly discouraged. Rain water and air- conditioning condensation run-off flow patterns cannot be determined in advance. Exhibitors choosing to place tent carpet directly on the pavement do so at their own risk. NBAA, AEM International and Freeman will not accept responsibility for damage to flooring caused by water.

This replaces sending NBAA certificate of insurance in advance. We recommend having a copy with you on site, if we need to reference listing the OCCC, Freeman and NBAA as the additional insured. Each EAC must use their ESCA badge to work as a contractor at the Orange County Convention Center.

An exhibitor-appointed contractor (EAC) is any individual or company that is not an employee of your company and is hired to install/dismantle/provide service to your booth (i.e.; installation/dismantling contractors, booth designers/builders, non-official florists, furniture suppliers, laborers, etc.).

Exhibitors may use an EAC if:

  • The service to be performed is not listed as an exclusive service;
  • The exhibitor has designated the EAC as their service provider on the NBAA-BACE Intent-to-Use Exhibitor-Appointed Contractor form;
  • The EAC submits this form to NBAA and agrees to abide by all requirements; and
  • The EAC has been approved by the Orange County Convention Center.

Exhibitors who plan to use a firm that is not designated as an NBAA official service contractor must complete the online EAC Intent-to-Use Form for each company contracted to work on their booth.

Additionally the designated EAC must complete the EAC Application/Contract by September 19 or they will not be permitted to service your exhibit. If this form is not received by the September 19 deadline, Freeman will provide all needed items and services for your booth and the will bill the exhibitor accordingly.

Show Management may deny an EAC access to NBAA-BACE when these requirements have not been met or when in the best interests of the event. Show Management will not be responsible for any lost profits or any damages of exhibitor or EAC that result.

Please note that live music is not included in our licensing agreements. If an exhibitor plans to use live music, they must be licensed by ASCAP or BMI, and the exhibitor must send supporting documentation to NBAA.


Noise Levels

Sound levels within the exhibitor’s stand should not exceed 85 decibels as determined by NBAA exhibits team, and must not disrupt the conduct of business of neighboring exhibits or show management events during posted exhibit hours.
NBAA noise policy enforcement procedure is as follows:

  • An exhibitor in violation of this policy will receive a verbal warning by NBAA exhibits team.
  • If a second infraction occurs, the exhibitor will receive a written warning delivered by the NBAA exhibits team.
  • If the exhibitor continues to violate the policy, the electrical power for the sound producing elements will be shut down.
  • Exhibitors receiving sound violation warnings will jeopardize their booth location in the future of NBAA events.

Complaints of sound regulation violations may be made directly to the NBAA exhibits team.


Official Service Partners

Official Service Partner Logo

Exhibitors should look for the official service provider logo on all service provider forms to ensure they are working with a show approved service provider.
