The Official Contractors & Online Ordering section contains links and order forms for all Official Service Contractors. Show Management has contracted out to a selected group of companies the responsibility to perform the various tasks needed to set up, operate and dismantle the exhibits. It is to your advantage to choose the Official Contractors as provided in this Online Exhibitor Services Manual. Official Contractors maintain a presence on-site, providing trained technical staff to support your needs. Show Management does not associate with any company other than those chosen as the Official Contractor. Please note that in order to maintain a secure ordering and payment system, some online ordering services have their own unique login requirements (ie: Housing, GES Exposition Services, etc.) If you need assistance logging in to these links, please ask the specific supplier for assistance accordingly.

If you have any questions regarding the services, rules and regulations, or if you need further assistance, please contact us at 630/434-7779, email: ala@heiexpo.com. You can always click on the "Not finding what you need?" button in the upper right corner of this site to submit a request for assistance.
