No, NCSL does not need to collect EACs or Certificates of Insurance (COI). When logging in to the Exhibitor Kit, you will search by your organization name, then be prompted to enter your contact information and whether you are an Exhibitor or an EAC.
EACs are allowed in the exhibit hall only during set up (Monday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.) and tear down (Wednesday, 3-7 p.m.). EACs are not allowed in the hall during show hours. EACs do not need to register for a badge. Upon arrival at the Kentucky International Convention Center, all EACs must check in with Freeman at the loading docks and enter and exit through the back of the hall.
If your organization has someone coming to set up your booth on Monday but they don’t plan to attend any show hours Tuesday and Wednesday, you do not need to register them. Since these people will not have an exhibitor badge, they must go to registration to pick up a “move in only” temporary badge. This temporary badge will allow them in and out access into the Hall on Monday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
