All exhibitors must submit proof of required insurance prior to setting up at Global Pet Expo. If you do not currently have the required coverage, you may purchase it through Buttine Exhibition & Event Insurance Group on behalf of Global Pet Expo.

Here are the requirements:

Global Pet Expo Exhibitors are required to carry Commercial General Liability Insurance with limits of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregate.

The EAC insurance form will be available when the Exhibitor Service Kit is available. Please be sure to have a copy accessible at your booth. We must obtain proof of insurance NO LATER than 3/1/2025. An Exhibitor Appointed Contractor (EAC) is a company other than the "general or official" service provider on the show that requires access to your booth during installation and dismantling. The EAC may only provide services in the facility that are not designated by the facility as "exclusive" to a designated provider, or by the show organizer in a contract as an exclusive service for the "general or official" service provider or other third party. No EAC will be allowed to work in an exhibitor’s booth if this Notice of Intent to Use EAC and Policies and Procedures form, a valid Certificate of Insurance and the Agreement, and Rules and Regulations between Global Experience Specialists, Inc. (GES) and the EAC form is not completed by an authorized representative and received by GES 30 days prior to move-in. This Notice of Intent to Use EAC and Policies and Procedures form must be completed for every third party (as well as any other third party ordering or requesting services from GES on behalf of the exhibitor) at the above show. EAC notice of intent and insurance must be submitted with GES. You can find the form in your exhibitor service kit once available. 

Personally Owned Vehicles (POV), Cart Service & Self Unloaders, should proceed direct to the facility and check in at the designated POV Check-in area, where you will be given the appropriate dock pass.

Privately owned vehicles are defined as cars, pick-up trucks, vans and other small trucks designated for passenger use, not cargo or freight. Vehicles that do not qualify for this service or that have material that requires mechanical equipment to unload will be directed to the GES Marshaling Yard.

For best access, turn onto Tradeshow Boulevard from Universal Boulevard and follow the signs.
