Food & Beverage
The SeaGate Convention Centre maintains an exclusive on-site food and beverage contractor for all concession services in the SeaGate Convention Centre. They will operate concession stands in the exhibit halls when estimated attendance is sufficient, for most all events. They will operate concession stands during move-in periods if sufficient exhibitors are present. The SeaGate Convention Centre will not allow outside food or beverages to be carried into or sold at the Centre. An exception to this rule is the sale or sampling of food by show exhibitors. Examples include:
- Sale: If an exhibitor in their normal course of business sells a food product, and if that product is appropriate to that particular show, and they have a city vendors license, then the product may be sold in a package intended for off-premise consumption and with a minimum retail price of $8.00.
- Sampling: All samples must relate to the primary product of the exhibitor and must be of sample size (2 oz. toothpick portion).
These are general guidelines only. Each item must be pre-approved by the Event Coordinator/food & beverage operator prior to sale or sampling.
