Here are the links to the forms and information you need to ensure a successful exhibition. Some forms are mandatory, while others are optional. We encourage you to read everything very carefully and call us at
(310) 533-2576 with any questions.
The kit is basically broken into four parts:
*Show Management Information & Forms: This includes a lot of general information about your exhibit, a deadlines checklist, and mandatory forms such as your program guide listing, emergency contact, and certificate of insurance requirements.
*Shepard Exposition Services Information & Forms: Shepard Exposition Services is our official service contractor. Through Shepard Exposition Services you can order carpet, furniture, cleaning, rental exhibits, signs and graphics, material handling, view shipping information, and much more. It is important to read through all of this information. All Shepard Exposition Services forms and information can also be found online.
*Facility Information & Forms: The Colorado Convention Center and its partners provide essential services like electricity, Internet, and telecommunications.
*Other Great Services: There are other services available to you for the Show. You can order AV, computers, vehicle detailing, floral, security and lead retrieval right here.
GFX Exhibitor Fraud Warning
As you know, we post the exhibitor list online at GovFleetExpo.com. Unfortunately, this makes us vulnerable to unapproved and non-vetted companies soliciting you for everything from carpet to list rentals.
Please be advised that we strongly discourage you from working with any of these vendors as many are fraudulent or don’t warn you of hidden costs. Below is a list of vendors that have been approved to contact you directly. When in doubt, email kristen,messineo@bobit,com before signing on the dotted line!
DO NOT complete directory forms from Contruct Data or the Fair Guide. They are not affiliated with GFX. Please take a moment to read this important warning.

Hospitality and Special Events
Your company is required to be registered for the 2012 Government Fleet Expo & Conference (GFX) to maintain a hospitality suite, or conduct a special event during GFX. You must request approval from GFX 45 days prior to the event. The suite or special event host is responsible for making the arrangements for the hospitality event with the Colorado Convention Center and is responsible for all charges. No events will be permitted that conflict with any official portion on the GFX program. Promotion of the event may occur at the host’s booth or if the event is open to the entire conference delegation, a request can be made to be included in the program guide. GFX reserves the right to not approve an event or hospitality room in conjunction with the event. The Colorado Convention Center has been advised not to book an event unless it has been approved by GFX in advance. No event can be conducted during exhibit hours.
