All dealer pods will be equipped with power drops, yet these will only offer a limited number of plugs. To ensure direct power supply to your booth/table(s), we're providing dealers with an option.

 

Opting out of this offer means we cannot guarantee sufficient plugs for your use. Additionally, some tables are situated over 50ft away from the power drop in their pod. By purchasing this option, we'll run a extension cords directly to your table. Otherwise, you'll need to manage this yourself and find an open plug.

 

What you'll get:

1 - 6-plug power strip connected from the power drop box directly to your table for personal use.
