Custom Decoration Approval

Any customized decoration involving erections above standard heights must have blueprints submitted for pre-approval. Failure to comply may result in removal of booth decorations by Pomona Fairplex security.

VENDOR FAQ

GOOD TO KNOW

Tap a question to see the answer.

Booths & Equipment

Is carpet included in my booth package?
No, carpet is not included in the vendor package.
Is electrical power included with my standard booth fee?
Standard booth spaces do not include power. Electrical access (110V or 220V) must be requested and paid for in advance through the approved vendor, Convention Electric.
Is Wi-Fi provided for point-of-sale (POS) systems?
No venue Wi-Fi is available. Vendors are advised to bring their own dedicated mobile internet or order service through Fairplex.
Can I bring my own tablecloths, drapes or decorations for my booth?
Yes — exhibitors may supply their own tablecloths, drapes or decorations, but these items must be non-flammable or treated for fire retardancy.
I need additional tables or chairs for my booth — who should I contact?
Direct your request to the information booth in your exhibition hall. Please don't remove chairs or tables from neighboring booths.
Are sound systems, microphones, or live music allowed at vendor booths?
Decibel levels must stay below 85 dB so as not to interfere with neighboring booths. Sound amplification systems and microphones don't require prior approval from show management.
Can I use the empty space next to my booth?
Empty spaces on the floorplan are designated vacant by the Pomona Fire Department and may not be used for any purpose. Pomona Fairplex security has the authority to remove anything placed in these spaces.
Can I use the aisles outside my booth to display my goods?
No. Per Pomona Fire Department regulations, no goods or merchandise may be placed along the aisles at any time, as this could block the Fire Department's access in an emergency.
Can I sub-lease my booth space?
No — sub-leasing booth space is strictly prohibited.

Permits & Paperwork

Do I need to submit a Certificate of Insurance (COI)?
Yes — all vendors must provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) before the event, listing Asian American Expo and Pomona Fairplex as additional insureds.
Do I have to display my seller's permit in a public place at all times?
Per tax board regulation, all exhibitors conducting sales must display a copy of their seller's permit in a public place at all times. Tax personnel make inspection rounds during the event.
What permits do food vendors need to handle or sample food on-site?
Any vendor distributing unpackaged food, warm samples, or cooked dishes must obtain a Temporary Food Facility (TFF) permit from the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health before the event.
Do I have to attend the exhibitor's meeting?
Our exhibitor meeting is held virtually — if you can't attend live, a recap video is available afterward. We recommend attending, since all relevant expo details are covered.

Badges, Tickets & Entry

How does vendor credentialing work?
We use physical tickets for all vendors — each ticket is valid for one staff member, per day. Someone working both event days will need two tickets.
Can I use my vendor badge to enter the show?
Vendor badges are for identification only — they can't be used for admission to the event halls.
How can I re-enter the show after using my ticket for admission?
Gate security will give vendors a hand stamp so they can leave and re-enter throughout the day. Hand stamps are valid for that single day only.
What time should I arrive on show days?
The show opens to the public at 10:00 am; vendors should arrive by 9:00 am to prepare beforehand. All buildings are open to vendors starting at 8:00 am.

Move-In, Move-Out & Parking

What day is move-in (decoration) day, and what are the hours?
Move-in is always the day before the show (Friday). All expo halls are open to vendors for move-in and decoration from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm.
Can I enter the Fairplex show grounds after the stated move-in hours?
No vendors are allowed on the show grounds after 8:00 pm Friday night. If a scheduling conflict prevents you from arriving during normal hours, please make advance arrangements with your Asian American Expo representative.
How do I enter the show grounds if I need to unload goods?
Vehicles must enter through Gate 17 to access the expo halls. Once unloaded, please move your vehicle promptly to allow others access. Gate 9 is across the street and does not provide access to the expo halls.
Can I get help offloading goods from my vehicle to my booth?
Vendors are responsible for delivering and removing their own goods. No forklifts, pallet jacks, dollies, or other equipment are provided on-site by the show organizer.
Will the show organizer help transport goods to the show grounds?
Show management does not provide package receiving or materials-handling services. Please arrange your own ground transportation for merchandise.
Where should I park if I need to replenish my goods during show hours?
For exhibitors restocking during the show, the Sheraton Hotel (Gate 3) offers the closest parking access.
Can I park my vehicle along the sides of the halls during show days?
No — vehicles may not park alongside any hall on either show day. Violators will be towed at the owner's expense.
During move-out, when can I drive my vehicle in to park next to the expo halls?
Vehicles won't be allowed onto the show premises until the second show day ends and the general public has left.

Food Vendors & Show-Floor Rules

Will sinks be provided for food vendors?
Sinks with hot and cold water are available along the food areas in Halls 4 & 5. We ask all food booth vendors to help keep the sinks clean and free of food-related clogs.
I have goods that need refrigeration for the show days — where can I store them?
A complimentary refrigeration truck (refrigeration only, not freezer) is available to all vendors. It's first-come, first-served, and vendors are responsible for managing their own goods.
How should vendors dispose of grease, gray water, and large cardboard packaging?
All cardboard boxes must be flattened before disposal in designated recycling dumpsters. Food vendors must dispose of cooking oil and grease in the designated waste-oil barrels outside Halls 4 and 5 — never down venue sinks or storm drains.
Can I bring helium tanks?
Vendors bringing helium tanks must keep the tank securely chained to a dolly and stored upright. Designated helium storage locations are available outside the halls, in specific non-attendee staging areas.
Can I hand out flyers or brochures?
Yes — however, vendors may not hand out brochures or flyers of any kind near the entrances, due to fire lane regulations. Please hand out flyers only at your own booth.
Can I leave valuable possessions at my booth overnight?
We advise against leaving valuables behind. Asian American Expo and Pomona Fairplex are not liable for the loss or destruction of any valuable possessions.
The waste bin near my booth is full — who can I contact to have it emptied?
Please contact the Hall 4 information booth for trash-related requests, and be sure to reference your booth number when reporting the bin's location.
