Catering
SMG Catering is proud to be the exclusive food service provider within The Centre. SMG Catering strives to be everything the event producer, corporate meeting planner or private party could ask for when it comes to full-service catering. For more information, contact the Catering Sales Manager.
Audio Visual
Sound and lighting can be key features for a successful event. Therefore, our trained in-house Audio/Visual Department allows you both the convenience and peace of mind of having presentation services readily available within our facility. The Exhibit Hall, Auditorium, Ballrooms, and Meeting Rooms all consist of separate audio subsystems, which are capable to be routed together with advance notice.
Outside AV companies may provide their services within The Centre. Your own sound equipment or outside vendors may connect to our in-house audio system upon approval from our Technical Director. There is a hook-up charge and technical supervision is required for the duration of your event.
For more information regarding your audio needs/capabilities ask your Event Coordinator.
Access
Client access is to the booked/contracted area only. For load-in purposes, this area may be extended to include areas of the loading dock. However, this area is not available while the show is open to the public and no business should be conducted on the dock. At no time may the public be given access to the loading dock or other support areas without the company of a Centre representative. Media access to an event is at the client's discretion, unless event takes place within the lobby areas of the facility.
Booking Policies & Procedures
All requests for dates at The Centre will be considered tentative until such time as a booking confirmation or contract has been signed and the necessary deposit received. As a minimum, a deposit in the amount of a one-day room rental for the most expensive, contracted space will be required with the signed agreement. This deposit will be non-refundable and non-transferable. Public areas adjoining licensed spaces are generally not under Lessee's control. As such, requests for registration areas, special exhibits, displays, etc. must be approved in advance by The Centre management. Activities taking place in public spaces must take into consideration other tenants using the facility.
Cooking
Shows and events requiring the use of cooking equipment such as ranges and gas grills require the presence of an on-call fireman due to safety regulations. The hourly cost of such personnel is the responsibility of the tenant and will be added to event settlement. Please consult your Centre Event Coordinator.

Any and all ASCAP, BMI, SESAC or other copyright fees applicable to an event will be the full responsibility of the tenant.
