Artwork must be received by July 25, 2022 to guarantee inclusion in the event materials. EPS file format is preferred as it can be scaled to various sizes without loss of image quality. JPG and PNG file formats are acceptable; at least 300 dpi resolution and 12″ high is recommended for best quality reproduction from these formats.

 

Door Prizes

If you have prizes to offer, please contact Cheryl Leonard at cleonard2@ncdot.gov or 984-365-1329 by July 15, 2022 and let us know the type and quantity of prizes. Your organization will be recognized during the drawing. Bring the door prizes with you to move-in day on Monday, August 15.

Electrical, Internet and Other Utilities

Your exhibit space will include a 110v electrical outlet if it was requested with your online registration. Free basic wireless Internet service in the ballroom will also be provided.

If you need additional services for electrical power, wired/high-speed Internet or other items, you must complete and submit the RCC Utilities Order Form directly to the RCC along with your payment. Items added onsite are subject to floor rates, and payment must be processed prior to service completion. See the RCC Rate Sheet for available items and pricing information.

 

Vehicle Displays

If you’ve been approved to display a vehicle in the RCC Main Lobby, please read the VEHICLES section of the RCC Exhibitor Information sheet for important Fire Code requirements. All vehicles on display must abide by these requirements. A City of Raleigh Fire Inspector may inspect your vehicle for compliance.

Our event coordinators will schedule a specific time on Monday, August 15 for you to arrive and move your vehicle into the building.
 

Decorations and Fire Safety

All decorations used in the RCC must be flame retardant according to the City of Raleigh fire codes. No decorations may be fastened or taped to walls, columns, floors, equipment, or drapes, and nothing may be suspended from the ceiling without prior written permission from RCC management. Adhesive-backed stickers are prohibited and may not be given out on or affixed to the premises. Please read the FIRE MARSHAL section of the RCC Exhibitor Information sheet for more details.

 

Move-in / Move-out

See the Exhibitor Schedule below for general move-in / move-out dates and times. Exhibitors should move-in your materials only during the scheduled times. All exhibitors must move-out by the scheduled time.

Move in/out via Salisbury Street / Main Lobby is permitted for hand-carried items only (no equipment carts). You must request approval from an Event Manager/Coordinator before parking on Salisbury Street to move your items.

Move in/out via the underground RCC Loading Dock is available when approved by an Event Manager/Coordinator no less than 30 days prior to the event. Exhibitors are allowed to drive their vehicles into the dock, unload/load, and then drive back out to park in one of the nearby lots or decks.
