Exhibitor FAQs
When can I start setting up my booth?
Thursday, November 13 | 8:00am – 6:00pm
Can I come early on show days to set up my booth?
Yes, exhibitors are permitted access to the show floor two (2) hours prior to the show opening each day. Please remember to bring your government issued photo ID as they will be checked alongside badges during exhibitor-only access hours prior to the show.
Do I need insurance?
Yes, all exhibitors are required to have their own insurance. The Coconut Grove Jewelry & Watch Show does not provide any type of insurance coverage for the property and/or personnel of exhibiting companies. Exhibitors must maintain insurance and show proof that meets the requirements outlined in the insurance section of the service manual here.
Can I store empty boxes in my booth during the show?
No. Any empty boxes, crates and cartons must either be removed from all booths prior to show open or broken down and stored neatly within your space.
Can I leave merchandise in my booth overnight?
Exhibitors are not permitted to leave any jewelry in showcases overnight, whether or not the cases are locked, unless private guard service has been secured for the booth. If private guard service has been contracted, we also advise renting a safe from our safe provider to securely lock up your merchandise overnight.
Will there be security on-site?
Show Management makes every effort to provide protection for exhibitors’ merchandise and displays. Show management will provide perimeter guard service on a 24-hour basis, starting with move-in until move-out. If private guard service is needed, exhibitors must employ the official security contractor.
Can I ship items prior to move-in?
Yes, both advance shipments and direct shipments can be made. More information on advance and direct shipments will be coming soon.
How do I order items for my booth?
To order items for your booth (i.e: showcases, lights, safes, etc.) you will need to visit the Exhibitor Resource Center of the website to access the show order forms. The Exhibitor Resource Center for our 2025 event will be open soon.
Will WIFI be available at the show?
General, basic WiFi service will be available throughout the show for customers to check email and browse websites. If you require additional bandwidth for your booth (for video streaming or processing sales), please refer to the vendor order form in our Exhibitor Resource Center, which will open soon.
Please beware of solicitations for hotels, advertising and purchasing attendee lists. All legitimate affiliations will be displayed through your exhibitor console or our website. Please contact show management directly if you have any questions.
