Lighting Enhancements:

In our business, presentation is everything. Make sure that your booth is well lit so that it stands out and attracts customers. LED lights offer clean, bright lighting options. Halogen lights create heat and draw too much power, and are banned from our shows because of this.

Convenient LED light poles can do that for you with as little as one per table. Purchase yours and many other customized lighting options from Show Off Lighting now. Prices will be higher at the show. Click to purchase from Show Off Lighting

Overhead truss and halo lighting can change the entire presence of your booth. Click for your rental options and order form from Hart Events.

Showcase, Light Pole & Table Skirt Rental:

Showcases and lighting can be an exponential enhancement to your product display and sales. We recommend the following companies with whom you will order and deal directly:

R&R Showcases – (formerly Dynamic Events) 4 styles/sizes of showcases to choose from

    If you are using UPS to schedule your delivery     and you do not need to be on site with your delivery, you do not need early delivery access .  You can schedule UPS to deliver to your booth location before setup with no fee.  If you must be on site to retrieve your delivery, the early delivery fee applies.
  • Deliveries with freight companies other than UPS Freight
    If you paid for early delivery and will NOT be on-site to unload your own freight     with your own forklift, then it will be unloaded and stored in the Denver Coliseum at the rate of $50 / 1st pallet ($25 each additional) and will not be accessible until regular setup begins, at which time it will be delivered to your booth at the same rate. Save time and money – arrive on site to manage your own freight!

    Each early delivery vendor is allowed (1) agent per company to be on site for delivery.  Additional vendors will not be allowed on site.  
    If multiple vendors have freight on the same truck and will be delivered to individual locations, each vendor must order early delivery.
    Vendors found having early delivery of product in their location from any source without an early delivery pass will be subject to an on-site delivery fee of $450.

Security:

7 Denver Coliseum employees during event hours and 3 CMFGS Ambassador.

As with any show, the promoter, police, venue, and the city of Denver are not responsible for any loss or theft of any kind, in any manner, for whatever reason. It is your sole responsibility to obtain loss insurance and to take appropriate security precautions such as using showcases, security cages, cable locks, lock boxes, RF tags, monitoring cameras, tamper alarms, tracker beacons, and the like. Assume that there will be shoplifters present and make smart decisions now to ensure that you are not a victim.

Vendors will also have access to a dedicated locked room in a secured part of the buildings for overnight storage. Please send us a request by email. Davidcmfgs@gmail.com

Overnight Parking:

Trailers and Empty Trucks
For those parking empty (non-sleeping) trailers and trucks on-site the cost is $50 for the show duration, paid in advance before a location can be reserved. Although this area is fenced, it is not guarded. But there will be campers nearby.

All overnight parking reservations must be accompanied by a valid driver’s license and vehicle registration for each vehicle remaining on the grounds overnight.

Wi-Fi:

Free WIFI service is available throughout the Denver Coliseum

Importing:

No taxes are due upon importation of minerals, fossils, gems, jewelry and similar items into the USA. Further, there are no duties on minerals and fossils shipped into the USA. Be sure to have a detailed inventory list and use Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) code number 97050000. This code corresponds to “Collections and Collectors’ Pieces of Mineralogical or Paleontological Interest”.

Most gems, jewelry, semi-precious / precious stones, and precious metals are also exempt from import duties. However there are many exceptions in which the duty is 10% or more. To learn which specific items are subject to duty, please visit the official United States International Trade Commission website and use the Search function.

If only a few items are subject to duty and the amount is low, it is usually fastest / cheapest to pay the duty. However, in cases where the duty would be high, then the exhibitor can acquire an ATA Carnet at a cost of about $300 (+ surety bond at a cost of 1% of the merchandise value). The ATA Carnet is an international customs document that allows the holder to temporarily (up to one year) import goods without payment of normally applicable duties and taxes, including value-added taxes in more than 71 countries. The ATA Carnet eliminates the need to purchase temporary import bonds. So long as the goods are re-exported within the allotted time frame, no duties or taxes are due. Failure to re-export all goods listed on the ATA Carnet results in the need to pay the applicable duties (as would be the case for items that are sold). The acronym ATA is a combination of French and English phrases “Admission Temporaire/Temporary Admission.”

To learn about and obtain an ATA Carnet please visit the International Chamber of Commerce website.

Vendor Payments and Cancellation:

Booth Payments: Booth fee balances are due in full by the May 31 2025 deadline. Booth reservations not paid in full by this date are subject to our standard $600 late fee. This late fee will not be waived. Failure to pay by the due date restricts vendors for eligibility for any early access services

Vendor Cancellation: Unforeseen circumstances can arise that will prevent a Vendor from attending the show as planned. Therefore, release from contract is possible by emailed request, and refunds subject to the following schedule are available ONLY to Vendors who have submitted the 50% minimum deposit within 30 days of application:

Before March 1: Full Refund
Before April 1: 100% of amount paid less $200
Before May 1: 75% of amount paid less $200
Before June 1: 50% of amount paid less $200
