Please be aware of the following important notes regarding events at the Sheraton Grand Chicago:

• Power (GES): GES is the exclusive provider of power on the ballroom level (4^th level). They also provide power for non-Encore rented equipment in breakout spaces on other floors. This includes power strips, charging stations, etc. GES handles stage wash labor when lights are hung from a Unistrut. To receive a quote for these services please contact Tiffeny Richardson (TRichardson@ges.com).
• Teamsters: Our loading dock is a teamster dock and requires union labor for load-in/out of non-Encore provided events. If you will be using an outside audio-visual company, please contact Tiffeny Richardson (TRichardson@ges.com) at GES regarding dock labor. Exhibit display materials may be walked into the hotel and stored in the exhibitor’s suite. Larger shipments to the loading dock must be pre-arranged with the hotel.
