No one has to join a union to work your booth. Your show's decorator and kit still decide what your own staff may build, so read the kit before you plan a self-build.

Quick answers
What exhibitors ask about the Mountain America Expo Center
All five exhibit halls have a 30 ft ceiling. Your show sets the booth height limit, and anything rigged needs a plot filed 14 days before load-in.
The county routes all exhibit freight through the loading dock areas on the east side of the building; the public entrances face State Street on the west.
Unlike many convention centers, MAEC has the primary service contractor provide electrical. Internet, water, air and gas come from the venue's own facility services.
Labor & rules
Who sets up my booth at the Mountain America Expo Center?
Utah is a right-to-work state, so no one has to join a union to work your booth. That does not make every show a free-for-all: your show's decorator and its rules decide what your own staff may build and which services you must buy. We found no published MAEC rules on exhibitor labor, so the show kit is the document to read. Regional shows here are often hands-on, with exhibitors driving in and setting up themselves.
Your show's decorator and kit decide who may set up your booth. Utah is right-to-work, MAEC publishes no exhibitor labor rules, and at shows like Utah Green exhibitors drive in and set up their own booths.
✓Usually yours to plan
- Setting up with your own staff or hired installers, within the show's rules
- Driving or carting your own booth in on the show's move-in day
- Choosing an exhibitor-appointed contractor, if the show allows it
●Set suppliers
- Electrical: through the show's primary service contractor (decorator)
- Internet, phone, water, air and gas: MAEC facility services
- Food and drink: Sodexo Live, the exclusive caterer
!Watch for
- Rigging plots due 14 days before load-in, with an ETCP-certified lead rigger
- No helium balloons or adhesive-backed decals
- Show rules on battery power: Utah Green bans portable power stations and generators
Common exhibitor mistakes at the Mountain America Expo Center
- Ordering booth power from the venue: at MAEC electrical comes from your show's primary service contractor.
- Bringing a portable power station to plug in a display: Utah Green 2027 prohibits them, along with generators.
- Planning to drive in on the second move-in day: at Utah Green, vehicles may drive in only on the first day.
- Hanging a sign without paperwork: rigging needs a request form and scaled plot 14 days before load-in.
- Expecting a warm hall at move-in: heating runs only during show hours, and most of the calendar here is in winter.
- Packing out before the carpet is up: at Utah Green the back doors open only after the carpet is rolled up, about an hour after close.

The exhibit space
Mountain America Expo Center floor plan: Exhibit Halls 1–5 and meeting rooms
The building is one long exhibit floor, about 270 by 900 ft, divided into five halls of 48,600 sq ft each. Every hall has its own concession stand and large restrooms, freight comes in along the east side, and the public foyer and entrances face State Street on the west. Nine meeting rooms add 15,000 sq ft. The diagram draws the halls as one row of five equal boxes.
MAEC has 243,000 sq ft of contiguous exhibit space in five 48,600 sq ft halls, all with 30 ft ceilings, plus nine meeting rooms totalling 15,000 sq ft at 18 ft.
- Exhibit halls, 30 ft ceilings
- Meeting rooms, 18 ft
Schematic, not to scale: the five halls are drawn in one row because the main space is about 270 by 900 ft (five times 180 by 270 ft matches the 48,600 sq ft halls), but the order of Halls 1–5 along the row is not shown, and the meeting rooms' position is not drawn. Sizes and ceilings from Visit Salt Lake's MAEC specifications, which carry the official floor plan; dimensions from Reaveley Engineers; dock side from the loading docks page.

Mountain America Expo Center and the Salt Palace rebuild: where Salt Lake shows go from 2027
Salt Lake County plans to close the Salt Palace for a rebuild from fall 2027, and FanX and the Western Hunting & Conservation Expo plan to move to MAEC in Sandy, which has about a third of the Salt Palace's exhibit space.
The county built MAEC in 2000 to take consumer shows and regional meetings while the downtown Salt Palace chased national conventions. The Salt Palace rebuild changes that split for a few years, and exhibitors who know Salt Lake only from downtown need a different plan for Sandy.
- Fall 2027Full closure of the Salt Palace for reconstruction is planned to begin; only part of it is expected to be open earlier in 2027. The county's completion target is 2031.
- Feb 2027The last Western Hunting & Conservation Expo at the Salt Palace (February 11–14); KSL reports it will then be held at MAEC for the next few years.
- FanXPlans to move to MAEC while construction goes on, after two smaller Salt Palace events in 2027.
- 243,000 sq ftAbout a third of the Salt Palace's exhibit space. Shows that move will be tighter: plan a modular booth that also works in a smaller footprint.
- 16 miFrom the airport, against about 6 for downtown. Crews, hotels and trucks shift south to the Sandy and South Towne area.
Still exhibiting downtown before the closure? See our Salt Palace Convention Center guide for its halls, docks and the rebuild timeline.
Docks & move-in
Mountain America Expo Center loading docks and move-in
Get directions to Mountain America Expo Center →
All exhibit freight loads in through the docks on the east side of the building, with facility staff controlling which vehicles get in. Shows here often let exhibitors drive in on move-in day, as Utah Green does on January 25, 2027.
- East-side docksThe county says all exhibits load in through the dock areas on the east side; its map shows which dock suits which hall. The 2026 Utah Green floor map shows garage doors at the rear (east) of the hall and the public entry at the front (west).
- Dock controlFacility staff are posted at the dock during events to admit authorized vehicles, manage congestion and keep fire lanes open. Dock services are charged at prevailing rates.
- Drive-in move-inAt Utah Green 2027, exhibitors may drive in, hand-carry or cart on January 25 from noon to 6 pm, the only day vehicles can drive in; the next morning is hand-carry and carts only.
- Move-in days are limitedAn event gets one move-in or move-out day per show day, up to three; extra days cost half the rental rate. Heating and air conditioning run only during show hours, not on move-in days.
- Not publishedThe number of docks, door sizes and drive-in door dimensions. Ask your show contractor before you send an oversized load.
- Day −90Ask your show for its decorator, your hall and its dock; MAEC's halls all sit along the east-side docks.
- Day −60The show's floor plan goes to the venue for approval 60 days out; booth plans with structures follow the kit's dates.
- Day −30Order power from the decorator and internet, water, air or gas from MAEC facility services.
- Day −21Purple ships to Sandy through our carrier network, to the decorator's warehouse or direct on the show's receiving day.
- Day −14File any rigging request and scaled plot; the venue needs it 14 days before load-in.
- Day 0Drive-in or dock move-in on the east side, in a cold hall: heat runs only during show hours.
Free tool · plan your Sandy budget
Mountain America Expo Center drayage estimator and show budget
Pick a booth size and type to get planning numbers for 2026 and 2027: shipping weight, drayage at about $115 per hundredweight, and installation and dismantling (I&D) labor. Every number is a Purple planning estimate, not a quote: the venue publishes no drayage or labor rate, and your show contractor's kit carries the real tariff. See all venues on the drayage rates page.
Plan on about $115 per hundredweight for drayage at MAEC, with a 200 lb minimum. That is a Purple planning figure for a right-to-work, single-level drive-in building; neither the venue nor a current show kit publishes the rate.
The fields below fill in from size and type. Change any of them.

- Shipping weight: about 6 lbs per sq ft for a rental booth, 9 for custom or hybrid, 12 for fully custom, crated, with graphics and furniture.
- Drayage: $115 per 100 lbs (cwt), Purple's Sandy planning rate for 2026 and 2027, with a 200 lb minimum, a little under our downtown Salt Palace figure. Loose or pad-wrapped freight adds 30%, and late or off-target freight costs more.
- I&D labor hours: install plus dismantle, 0.06–0.10 person-hours per sq ft for rental, 0.08–0.14 for custom or hybrid, 0.12–0.20 for fully custom.
- Labor rate: $138–$207 per person-hour, straight time, a planning range from published 2026 show labor rates elsewhere. No MAEC rate is published, and overtime costs more.
- Own staff: Utah is right-to-work, and many shows here let exhibitors set up themselves. If your kit allows it and your staff does it all, I&D labor drops to $0 here.
- Not included: booth space, the exhibit itself, freight to Sandy, power, internet, rigging, travel and tax.
At the Mountain America Expo Center: the 200 lb minimum and the loose-freight surcharge follow common show kits; your kit sets the real figures. Drive-in move-in windows and dock assignments come from your show.

Insider tips
Mountain America Expo Center exhibitor tips: what experienced teams do
Order power from the decorator
At MAEC the show's primary service contractor sells booth electrical. Internet, water, air and gas are ordered from the venue's facility services instead.
Come in on the east side
All exhibit freight uses the east-side docks; State Street on the west is the public front. Tell your driver before the truck leaves.
Use the drive-in day
Shows like Utah Green allow vehicles in only on the first move-in day. Miss it and you are hand-carrying or carting from the lot.
Dress the crew for a cold hall
Heat runs only during show hours, not on move-in days, and the busy season here is January. Gloves and layers save setup time.
Build for 48,600 sq ft halls
Salt Palace shows that move here will have about a third of the space. A modular booth that shrinks gracefully covers both buildings through the rebuild.
File the plot two weeks out
Hanging signs need a rigging request and scaled plot 14 days before load-in, on structure with a stamped load rating.

Checklist
Mountain America Expo Center exhibitor checklist
Find your decorator and move-in window first, order power from the decorator and internet from the venue, file any rigging plot 14 days out, and plan an east-side drive-in move-in in an unheated hall.
- 12 weeks out Ask your show for its decorator (primary service contractor), your hall and its move-in schedule.
- 10 weeks out Read the kit's work rules: Utah is right-to-work, but the kit decides what your staff may build.
- 8 weeks out Check the show's booth height limit against the 30 ft halls, and plan any hanging sign.
- 6 weeks out Order booth power through the decorator; MAEC does not sell exhibitor electrical itself.
- 4 weeks out Order internet, phone, water, compressed air or natural gas from MAEC facility services (385-468-2284).
- 3 weeks out Meet the show's early discount deadline; for Utah Green 2027 it is January 10.
- 2 weeks out File a rigging request and scaled plot at least 14 days before load-in; the lead rigger's ETCP card is due 48 hours before.
- 1 week out Check the show's power rules: Utah Green prohibits portable power stations and generators.
- Move-in Arrive at the east-side docks in your drive-in window; bring warm clothes, because heat runs only in show hours.
- Show days No helium balloons or adhesive-backed decals; keep decorations off columns, walls and ceilings.
- Move-out Wait for the show to clear the aisles before bringing vehicles in; at Utah Green the back doors open after the carpet is up.
Rules and dates from MAEC's facility services guide, rigging policies and booking and services guide, and the Utah Green 2027 exhibitor information; your show's kit sets its own dates.

Often, on the show's drive-in day. At Utah Green 2027 exhibitors may drive in, hand-carry or cart on January 25 from noon to 6 pm, and only carts and hand-carry the next morning; your kit sets the windows.
Is labor union at the Mountain America Expo Center?
No union requirement by law: Utah is a right-to-work state, so nobody must join a union to work your booth. Your show's rules and decorator still decide what your own staff may build; MAEC publishes no exhibitor labor rules.
