Valley Metro Rail & PHX Sky Harbor Official Transit Guide

Arizona is a constitutional Right-to-Work state. Full-time exhibitor employees may hand-carry display materials through public pedestrian doors, unpack and assemble 10×10 or 20×20 booths using their own tools, and mount their own monitors without mandatory union carpenter minimums. Exhibitors may also hire independent local Phoenix EAC booth builders and AV crews (~$98/hr straight time—nearly 50% lower than coastal union halls) by filing a COI 30 days prior to move-in. Only Edlen Electrical (utilities/power), Aventura Catering (F&B), Smart City (telecom), and dock forklift drayage are exclusive.
