Breakfast & lunch options:  Marriott has a full service restaurant located in the lobby that has breakfast and lunch  options.  It is pricey.  You may want to consider bringing your own lunch with you as we will not have hot food exhibitors at this market.  There is an HEB and several restaurants near by.

Food permits are required if you are offering samples.  If you are unsure if you need a food permit please contact the health department directly to ask any questions.  You can download the food permit online, click here.

The Marriott runs, charges and manages all electricity hook ups.  Please fill out the online form and email to deljuana.decuir@avms.com , click here.

We have prepaid for all Exhibitors to have 1 free wifi access code. 

Trash/dumpster usage: there is an on site dumpster located at the loading dock for all Exhibitor trash and boxes.  Break down boxes before placing them in the dumpster.

At closing on Saturday please remove all trash from your booth and pull up the floor tape.

Food Vendors: State of Texas law requires that grease and cooking oil be disposed of in an approved facility.  The dumpster is not approved.  You must take all oil and grease with you off site and dispose of it properly.
