General liability insurance coverage is always required of each OAX exhibitor, however, we know that securing these certificates of insurance (COI) can be a time-consuming after-thought and hassle. After much research and many requests from exhibitors for a better solution, we’ve secured a service with our preferred insurance provider to include an exhibitor COI with the purchase of any OAX booth space or sponsorship moving forward. This convenience to the exhibitor will ensure that all exhibitor COIs meet insurance requirements and will eliminate the hassle to the exhibitor of securing a COI from an outside provider. This also ensures that no additional certificates of insurance will be required to purchase by the exhibitor. 

Once an exhibitor places a booth space order, we will secure the COI on the company’s behalf and will share that certificate with you for your files. You will receive an email (sent to the recipient who registered for the booth space) from Rainprotection Insurance Co. with a copy of the COI for your records.

HOTEL ARRANGEMENTS: 
Visit Ogden has arranged group rates at area hotels for your convenience.  Please visit their website here for more information.

CAMPING ON-SITE: 

VERY IMPORTANT, THERE ARE RESTRICTIONS! Please be aware that we don’t have room for camping directly behind most booth spaces: 

  • CAMPING IN BOOTH SPACES: This is the preferred method of exhibitor camping at the venue. You are allowed to camp at your booth, free of charge, as long as you can camp within the perimeter of your booth space. 
  • EXHIBITOR CAMPING is $75 for the weekend. Exhibitor camping is a  primitive camping space for one (1) camping vehicle or trailer in exhibitor camping. Max 4 people in one campsite – (15yrs & Up) *Badges ar are required and may need to be purchased in addition to complimentary badges given with booth purchase. On-site camping from THURS until MON morning**.  No water hook-ups / no electrical hook-ups. Oversized campers/trailers will be placed in a different location. Vehicles not used for camping must park in exhibitor parking:  
  • CAMPING IN ATTENDEE CAMPING AREA: Another option is to camp in the attendee camping area, but a camping pass must be purchased.  Sites are assigned as you arrive. Camp hosts will be on hand to help you. We do not reserve spaces in this camping area. 

TO DO BEFORE THE SHOW

If you are planning to SELL RETAIL ITEMS (display only exhibitors do not need this!) directly to consumers you MUST apply for a Utah State Temporary Sales Tax Application.

We encourage you to have your own patches made and give them away at your booth. This drives people around the exhibitor area to collect as many as they can! This is a great way to get your logo out to the community and to be a very interactive and important part of this event. Keep the patches no bigger than 2″ ideally (2.5″ max) please! We had good luck with Patches4Less.com.

MUSIC: Very low volume music is okay but do not disturb your neighboring exhibitor/s. 

DISPLAY: Your display must be a family-friendly exhibit. Absolutely no profanity, no sexual content (including innuendo), and no scantily clad “spokespersons” either in person or in pictures allowed — we are serious about this.

  • It is highly encouraged to leave any display vehicle in your booth all weekend (instead of driving this vehicle back and forth into town/hotel) in order to avoid any issues with getting your display vehicle back in your booth space.

The Health Department requires an up-to-date food sampling permit for exhibitors that plan to sample food or beverages at the events. Please obtain your Sampling Permit before arrival at the events and be prepared to show it to food inspectors if they request it during the event.  

Applications can be completed online through the Weber Morgan Health website through Environmental Health Forms. – http://www.webermorganhealth.org/environmental-health-services/permits/SamplingPermitApplication_fill.pdf 

If you plan to give away food and/ or beverages, the sample limit is 3-ounces in size. The list of prohibited giveaway items includes; but is not limited to, alcohol, beer, wine, water, sodas, popsicles, and more.  

We ask that you notify management if you plan to sample/serve food.

You must inform Show Management of any intent to host a gathering that includes the distribution of alcohol on venue premises and obtain a permit. Due to liquor licenses and rules set by the Alcohol and Beverage Commission in each state, there are strict rules on distribution of alcohol.  Any organized party not registered with Show Management and not complying by the rules will be considered illegal and dealt with by the County Sheriff and will be shut down immediately.  There is no distribution of alcohol allowed on venue premise without a properly obtained permit through event management.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS

Emerald X LLC maintains a strict policy on intellectual property rights and will take action on any intellectual property infringement. The term “Intellectual property” or “IP” is used to describe various types of intangible property, patents, registered trademarks & service marks, and registered copyrights. Use of any Emerald X intellectual property or creating, selling, or promotion of any likeness of Lodestone’s intellectual property will carry severe consequences, which may include rejecting an exhibitor’s application to participate at Emerald X sponsored shows, closing an exhibitor’s booth, banning an exhibitor from future Emerald X-sponsored shows. It is the sole responsibility of the exhibitor to ensure they are not in violation of this contract term. Examples of violations would include merchandise, apparel, patches, products and services provided, sold or promoted at any Emerald X LLC that carry the trademark of Outdoor Adventure X®; resemble the likeness or references to this event including but not limited to event location coordinates, “OAX”, “OAX Utah;” resemble the likeness of any Emerald X event logo; or resemble the services or format of Outdoor Adventure X®.

Exhibitors who attempt to leave early damage the show, create a dangerous environment for attendees, and harm attendance prospects for future shows. 

PLEASE NOTE that we will have staff on hand to record any early departures. 

EARLY DEPARTURES WILL MEAN YOU WILL FORFEIT YOUR SPACE FOR FUTURE SHOWS. If you personally are not attending the show, please make sure your staff is aware of this.

You will receive two (2) complimentary parking passes for vehicles that ARE NOT going into your display stand when you pick up your credentials. Vehicles remaining static on the display stand for the weekend will receive a pass. 

This will allow two vehicles to enter the venue and park in the exhibitor lots. If you have more than two vehicles we will be charging $20 to be able to park onsite (in the exhibitor lots ONLY) for the weekend.

You will most likely be contacted via email by a shady company trying to get you to purchase our attendee lists. Please DO NOT purchase these lists! We do not share attendee contact info with third parties and this is definitely a scam.

An arbitration award may be enforced by any court with competent jurisdiction.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration the parties waive any right to a jury trial. This section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
  25. Governing Law: This Agreement is governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, federal arbitration law, and the laws of the State of New York, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

Failure or delay by Emerald to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.

In the event that an ambiguity or a question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Exhibitor represents and warrants that the party executing this Agreement on behalf of Exhibitor is duly authorized to act on behalf of Exhibitor and to execute this Agreement and legally bind Exhibitor to the terms contained herein. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, email of scanned copies, pdf, or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
