STAY AWAY I signed up to be a commercial vendor. I signed up in July for the event in November. I was in communication with Haley when I called. She answered my call, questions, and supplied me with the applications. Less than 40 minutes later I submitted those applications Fast forward to the week of the event and I haven't heard from them so I call and leave a message. No response. I call again Tuesday and Wednesday, no response. So Thursday night I send an email. No response.... Friday morning, morning of the event, I call again, nothing.... My guys show up to set up and get turned away at the door. Not to mention I work for a big company. She's asking me if I have receipts. It would take me personally 2 hours to get in touch with finance, get proof of payment, and supply it. There was literally nothing I can do, if I got proof of payment the event would have been 3 hours underway already I spoke to them on the phone to try and get in and she was incredibly rude and almost proud of the fact she was turning us down. I told her I've left multiple messages and emails sent contracts months ago and she didn't care. If you can avoid this company, I would. Solid events but 0 reliability.... This was the worst story but these type of things go years back (which is why I was months ahead with my preparation)
