What Is an Exhibitor-Appointed Contractor (EAC)?
An exhibitor-appointed contractor (EAC) is an independent company you hire — instead of the show's general contractor — to install and dismantle (I&D) your booth. BoothFlip helps you find vetted EACs by city.
EAC basics
- EACs do install & dismantle, supervision and on-site services
- Most shows require an EAC notice + certificate of insurance by a deadline
- Union jurisdictions (electrical, rigging, freight) still apply in many cities
- An EAC can save money and give you a consistent crew across shows
