Here are some answers to any questions you might have. I am, of course, available for any other questions. At the risk of being overrun, here's my cell phone: 608-576-2885. Call between 10 AM and 8 PM Central Time.

Why do I have to wait to load in until 11am?

Some areas and booths on the show floor are not set up yet to make room for boat trailers to load in.

Can I have pizza delivered to my booth?

Yes, you can order pizza through the catering company that works with the AEC. You may not have outside food delivered; they get testy.

How do I pre-order electricity or a tall skirted table?

Your booth automatically comes with a skirted 6ft table and 2 chairs. If you would like to order a different size table ahead of time please contact the AEC. To order goods and services for the show:
1) Go to the Alliant Energy Center website.
2) Scroll down to Canoecopia and click on that link.
3) Ignore the booth number...click continue.
4) Under 'Page List' are links to all the different services available, including power, telecommunications, carpeting, freight, etc. Prices vary and increase the day of set-up.
5) When you check out, under the contact name, put in your company and your name. For example, "Schrute Beet Farm, Dwight Schrute." They will find you, we'll help.>

What if I do not want a skirted table?

If you do not need the table in your booth, kindly push it to the main aisle so either another booth may use it or the AEC staff will pick it up.

Where is the Alliant Service Desk located?

It is located inside Loading Bay A.

Where is my shipment?

Check for any freight shipped in directly to the AEC at the Service desk located inside Loading Bay A.

Can I store pallets or crates on the back loading dock?

You cannot store pallets or anything else on the loading dock unless you have made freight and storage arrangements with the AEC.

Where should I park during the show?

You can park in the large parking lot behind the Exhibition Hall for easy access to the back loading dock entrance.

How do I get a parking pass?

Parking fees are $10/day or you may purchase a three day pass, card only. Three day parking passes can be purchased on Thursday all day or Friday morning at the Alliant Energy Center Service Desk located in AEC office in loading Bay A. Parking fees begin Friday at noon.

Many thanks for your participation. I appreciate your support. We ALL appreciate your support.

Cheers, Ethan and the Gang.
