Trained technicians can assist you with the design of your production and audio/visual package in conjunction with your

you. Also, if event space is not contracted to another client the day before and/or the day after your event, Mills James
may be permitted to set audio/visual equipment one day early and/or later. This could save you money on overtime labor
costs that you would incur with other audio/visual companies. You can reach Mills James at 614-850-2098 or visit

Rigging (Exclusive rigging)
Theatrical rigging and banner hanging carry significant liabilities for the responsible party and it is our goal to eliminate any
potential problems or hazards before they occur.
Any display of banners, decorations or theatrical equipment that hangs from the ceiling must be approved and
hung by GCCC personnel.
Rigging plots that show location and weight are required of all items hung from the ceiling.
Show decorators may hang aisle signs within the exhibit hall if approved by the GCCC and the signs do not weigh
more than 75 pounds.
2019 Rigging forms with instructions, guidelines and pricing are listed on our
website www.columbusconventions.com/exhibitors
