Additionally, the exhibitor will be responsible for any equipment costs or coordination required for offloading/ unloading; a forklift will be on-site during the event. Heritage is the main provider of these services unless other arrangements have been made and approved prior to the event. See the full heavy equipment regulations for the 2026 event.
Any vendor requesting any air space for demonstrations, please utilize the UAS Flow Chart (updated link pending) to determine capabilities. The process for airspace can be easy or extremely lengthy, depending on what UAS is used. It is much easier if the UAS is on the Blue UAS list. If they are not, an exception to policy is required for airspace approval. For more UAS questions, please reach out to the contact below.
