Service order forms are provided to enable Show Service Contractors to be organized for the benefit of the exhibitors. Please follow the instructions carefully. By doing so, you will obtain these services promptly and at the least expense possible. Please understand the earlier you complete and return your forms the better quality service you will receive.
Standard Drape Booth
A standard drape (black) booth will be supplied by Stronco Show Services without charge to exhibitors. Please note the new colour scheme.

A standard drape booth is provided to all in-line exhibitors. Exhibitors who have reserved 400 sq. ft. or more that is not in-line will find their space in an “as-is” condition – meaning no drape will be provided.

Official Customs Broker
The OLA Super Conference has requested and received from the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency a declaration that Super Conference be a bona fide exhibition, enjoying the privileges of Tariff Item 9993.00.00.00. and Customs Memorandum CSPL 1037. We also have received permission for the use of Border to Show movement. Commerce will provide the following services:
- Post the required bonds and securities with Canadian Customs
- Clear your materials through Canadian Customs
- Co-ordinate delivery to the Show on the appropriate move-in days.
- Provide on-site staff to advise and assist you to the closing of the Show.
- Prepare export documentation and bills of lading.
- Co-ordinate outgoing transportation of exhibit materials.
- Arrange U.S. Customs clearance for return surface freight.
Exhibitors may ship their materials for display at the Show duty-free. All materials shipped to the Show will be customs cleared after the delivery to the appropriate booth. Customs clearance will not affect exhibitors’ access to materials for set-up.
Commerce will post a bond or cash deposit with Canada Customs to be held as security to guarantee the amount of duties and taxes normally applied on imported goods. Exhibitors are responsible for all charges incurred by Commerce if there are any violations caused by the exhibiting firm or it is a bona fide cost of importation. Foreign exhibitors are best to contact Commerce directly for specific answers to questions.
Complete the enclosed Commerce order form in the SHOW SUPPLIER section to receive a brochure which will assist you in the preparation and distribution of documents.
Exhibitors using their own customs broker must be prepared to post their own bond or cash deposit with Canada Customs.
Material Accompanying Exhibitors – (Hand Baggage)
If exhibitor staff bring any equipment or display material with them via aircraft, they must have some evidence of what this material is worth and may have to post a cheque for 35% of the declared value with the Customs Broker at the airport. This is HIGHLY unusual.
Imported Advertising Material – (Including Give-Away Samples)
13% Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) will be charged by the Canadian Customs on the declared value of all advertising printed matter (catalogues, brochures, etc.) This must be paid on the exhibitor’s behalf by the Customs Broker before material will be released by the Customs.
All printed material must be marked “Printed in…” (insert country of origin). Special notice of the return must be given to the Show Customs so that documents can be prepared.
An information flyer is included at the back of this section. Non-Canadian exhibitors should contact commerce immediately to receive a more detailed package.
Leads retrieval
OLA will be offering two different lead retrieval options for exhibitors. Both options are through a third-party vendor QLeads. They offer scanners and have different packages available. They also offer an MANUAL option that is supported and paid for by OLA
