Checklist
- Send your booth number, size and package type (standard or Premier Collection) from the JA New York contract
- List tray sizes, showcase count and the pieces you want on the aisle
- Approve the booth drawing for submission to show management
- Choose lighting: rental Javits fixtures or your own, hung by Javits electricians
- Order safes, guards or cameras from the official vendors if stock stays in the booth
- Register staff early; badges are not mailed and ID is checked at every entry
- Book rooms through EvolveCon and plan transit, since the Javits has no car parking
- Tell show management by its deadline if your team observes the Sabbath on move-in Saturday
