The Event Manager will assist with determining the costs and appropriate staff levels as additional staff may be required to cover breaks, entry and/or exit points, patrol lobbies, etc. Certain Events may require an on-duty Cleveland Police Officer; qualifications will be determined at the sole discretion of the I-X Center Management Team. If the Event qualifies as a special event requiring Cleveland Police Detail, your Event Manager will contract the service directly with the Cleveland Police Department and charges will be applied to the final invoice at prevailing rates.

The I-X Center will require complete daily function information on the physical setup of the Event including equipment and utility needs a minimum of thirty (30) days prior to the first day of the License period. It is imperative that all Event specifications are shared / reviewed in detail with the Event Manager as soon as the information is available to ensure all equipment, staffing requirements, and utility requirements can be accommodated. Placing the Event Manager on the exhibitor and/or delegate mailing list will keep them well informed and enable the staff to anticipate many aspects of your event.

Signs, banners, and posters may not be adhered to any part of the I-X Center or to any furnishings or fixtures without prior approval (Refer: Adhesives). Limited quantities of easels are available for rent to display such material within the Licensed Event space. Use of easels to display signs and posters are limited in the common public spaces due to the availability of extensive electronic signage and three-tiered directional signage frames. If signage is necessary in the common public spaces, it must be deemed of a professional convention quality (no hand-made or paper signs taped to boards are permitted) and approved by the Event Manager. Contact information for local sign services is available through the Event Manager.
