3. Exhibitors Rules

This Inspiration event will open for "High-End" vintage lovers by high-rate entrance fee. I simply hope that this event will be the wonderful "ADULT" socialized place, organized by ladies and gentlemen from worldwide. So this event shouldn’t have any RULES during 2 days show, but let us, adult people, share "common sense" each other! Needless to say,

a. Don’t bring any "copy" or "fake" items to inside Baker Hangar under our PRIDES.

b. Also, think much of local Police and Fire Department inspections, please!

4. Parking

All vendor and staff parking will be in regular parking areas.  Parking for the event shall be $12.00 per vehicle per day, any overnight parking will be at a rate of $15.00 per day.

5. Options & Rentals

Option 1: Most of exhibitor’s booth are set up by "Pipe & Drape" (Color is black, 8ft high) So you have to set up your decorations without WALLS, but you have another option: order"10×10 (3 walls) set $700". We Inspiration office will accept special 3 plywood wall panels for you. This is "naked condition," so you need booth decorations by nails, and glues. This option may provide you more freedom!

Option 2: Your pipe & drape booth doesn’t come with table and chairs. Please bring them from your office. Or you can order rolling racks, tables, chair, hangers…etc. Please send additional "Rental Form" to me till the end of January.

Option 3: Your booth has free electric outlet! Please bring your small lamps from your offices or buy at local Walmart. Please make your booth more brighter!

6. Shipping Supports

a. If you need to send out many boxes from you home or office, please contact to our logistic partner, “LECS,” located in downtown Los Angeles. They advice you the best way for the shipping.
