Welcome to the online Exhibitor Appointed Contractor (EAC) designation portal for AAOS 2025. This portal is designed to make designating your EAC a quick and simple process.
An EAC is a company or contractor hired by the exhibitor, who is NOT an employee of the exhibiting company or an official show contractor (i.e. Freeman). EACs are most often independent installation & dismantle companies but this also includes supervisors, technicians, photographers, audiovisual, floral, furniture, flooring, and any other contractors who aren't official show contractors but provide a necessary service during move-in & move-out.
Designating your EAC provides the show organizer visibility into who is working on the show floor and helps the organizer, you as the exhibitor, and the EACs. The process is outlined here.
There are TWO steps to the EAC Designation Process:
Step One [Exhibitor Action]: Designate your EAC by completing this form and submitting. [Note: you must complete a separate form for each EAC company working in your booth].
Step Two [EAC Action]: The EAC Company will receive an email to complete their side of the EAC designation form. This includes providing onsite contact information, acceptance of the rules & regulations, uploading a valid Certificate of Insurance (COI), and payment of $150 for each booth location the EAC Company is providing services or products for. [Payment covers the collection, review, and approval process and will be submitted via the online EAC portal]
