1 WHAT WILL YOUR IMPACT BE? 10up Competition 2015 Have your work built and published The Young Architects Forum of Atlanta (YAF Atlanta), a program of the American Institute of Architects Atlanta, is pleased to announce the sixth annual competition titled 10up. We re calling on young designers to step up to the 10up challenge! This year, YAF Atlanta is teaming up with AIA Atlanta and AIA National to create a temporary installation at the AIA 2015 National Convention - the nation s largest gathering of architects, designers, and product representatives. The structure is to be fabricated prior to and operational during the convention, May 14-16, located in the exhibition hall of the Georgia World Congress Center. After the AIA convention, the structure will be disassembled, and erected at a secondary location where it will be available for the public to experience. The theme for the 2015 AIA National Convention Impact focuses on how architects today can impact their communities locally and globally through learning the essential skills to become successful entrepreneurs. Speakers will represent those who have launched and developed successful businesses to those who are effective storytellers to a panel of architects sharing how they have built their business by going global, diversifying their firm s offering or designing to meet the needs of a growing population. Attendees should walk away feeling confident that they now have the elemental skills to grow, sell and promote their firm s business. By harnessing the power of creativity, entrepreneurship and a global view, every architect can build a valuable business whose impact extends locally, regionally and globally. The winning entry should not only accentuate the existing convention concept, but also be an event of its own, celebrating the contributions of young talent to the profession as the centerpiece of the AIA Atlanta space. What will your impact be? Intent The goal of this temporary installation is to create a unique spatial experience that complements the AIA Convention with a large scale design element accessible to thousands of architects and designers from across the country. With the relocation to the secondary installation site, the structure will help create public awareness and appreciation of built design, and the influence it can have on the way we live. Constraints Site The built structure must fit within a 10 x 10 footprint, with a maximum height of 20.

2 All on-site fabrication and assembly must take place within the provided 10 x 30 assembly area, and in coordination with the AIA Atlanta exhibit. Materials and Construction Maximum construction budget for all costs including shipping, drayage, installation and removal, etc., including any hired labor or rental fees, $7,000. Winner will abide by the show rules and regulations as described in the Exhibitor Service Manual and show documents. Any rented machinery or hired labor for the primary build must be coordinated with show management and come from Freeman. Rates are outlined in the Exhibitor Service Manual. (See link above.) All materials used in the structure must comply with section 1.3 of the Georgia World Congress Center Policies and Procedures manual, as well as NFPA 1001 Chapter Although volunteer labor may be available, the winning entry is responsible for executing assembly and disassembly. Time Assembly and disassembly must occur in less than 24 hours. Construction must be complete prior to May 13, 5 pm. The winning entry will have access prior to the beginning of the convention to assemble their structure at the Georgia World Congress Center. The designer will have access beginning Monday, May 11 from 8am-5pm, Tuesday, the 12th from 8am-5pm and Wednesday, May 13th from 8am-5pm. Please note they can work later than the 5pm posted time, but there is no inand-out of the hall after 5pm each day, so if they leave the hall they will not be allowed back in. With that being said, everyone would need to be registered as exhibitors and have exhibitor badges to have access to during these time. The winning entry will have 24 hours following the close of the convention on beginning Saturday, the 16th from 2pm-11:00pm and Sunday, 6am-11:45pm to disassemble their structure and remove it from the Georgia World Congress Center. Considerations Special care should be taken in the selection of materials and construction techniques, such as those than can be prefabricated and installed quickly (must be installed and removed within 24 hours) with simple tools and an untrained assembly crew. Modularity is encouraged as pieces and parts of the project should be able to be moved and carried by one or two individuals. Consideration should also be given to the need for the project to be disassembled then reassembled at the secondary installation site. Submissions Each entrant must submit: Two 24x36.jpg images at 300 dpi showing the major design elements of the design and demonstrating the design s feasibility to be built in the prescribed time and for the prescribed budget

Box Dallas, TX Phone: Fax: EDUCATION AT CONVENTION The AIA National Convention is the Provider of Record for all educational activities at the convention. As such, AIA/CES Registered Providers may not offer continuing education programs in the host city independent of the AIA National Convention in conjunction with the convention during the run of the show (Wednesday-Saturday). Many Approved Providers erroneously advertise their organizations or courses as AIA/CES Accredited or AIA/CES certified. Because the AIA is neither a certifying nor accrediting body, Approved Providers and courses are neither accredited nor certified. It is important to understand this distinction so you can advertise your organization and courses appropriately. Providers and provider courses should be advertised only as AIA/CES Registered or AIA/CES Approved. Please do not advertise or market your organization or courses as AIA/CES accredited or AIA/CES certified. Platform provider - An umbrella provider that charges other companies or organizations a service fee for developing, maintaining, or hosting its online continuing education courses. A platform provider takes responsibility (on behalf of the companies or organizations it serves) for adhering to all AIA/CES guidelines, which include registering courses, reporting participant credit, and all record keeping. A platform provider is authorized to offer only its own branded face-to-face and distance learning courses nationally and internationally; however, it cannot allow a separate entity to utilize its provider status. ELECTRICAL The official show contractor for all electrical needs is the Georgia World Congress Center. The order form for this service can be found under the forms & brochures section within the service manual. EXPO EDUCATION STATEMENT Exhibitors may not offer Expo Education programs independent of the AIA National Convention on the Expo show floor as such programs are registered and reported under the AIA National Convention Education provider number. Exhibitors may request hospitality suites within the conference hotels. However the suites are intended for business meetings only and may not be used to offer Continuing Education Programming. Additionally, functions are not allowed during dedicated show hours, from 12:00pm 4:00pm on Thursday, May 14, 10:00am-4:00pm on Friday, May 15 and from 10:00am 2:00pm on Saturday, May 16. Business meetings within the hospitality suites may only be conducted outside of the aforementioned dedicated show hours. Hospitality suites are reserved for exhibiting companies only. Non-adherence to this rule may result in the loss of priority points or refusal by Show Management to accept or process an exhibit space application for subsequent exhibitions.

It is good practice to keep a copy of the company s insurance policy with you while you are at the show, but you do not need to provide a copy to Show Management unless requested. The General Service Contractor is responsible for exhibitor s materials only while they are handling them. The contractor is not responsible for damage to uncrated material, improperly packed material or loss/theft after material has been delivered to the booth space or before material has been picked up at the end of the show. The General Service Contractor has limited liability for damaged freight; it is the exhibitor s responsibility to insure their materials.

8 MULTI-LEVEL/COVERED DISPLAY EXHIBITS For exhibitors with a multi-level/covered exhibit space, please see the below information regarding specific rules that must be followed. These specific requirements apply to all exhibits that have a ceiling or second story and are required by the Georgia World Congress Center and Fire Marshal. Covered or roofed areas should be furnished with acceptable battery-powered smoke detectors that emit alarms audible outside of the enclosed or covered area. The exhibitor will provide a Fire Watch within the booth space. Personnel providing Fire Watch services must be supplied with a Class 2A10BC Fire Extinguisher in each endorsed area covered by the floor above. Personnel must be trained in the use of extinguishers.

Areas within the exhibit booth that are totally enclosed (i.e., walls and roof/ceiling) must be served by an emergency lighting source (i.e. battery-powered) when such areas lead to exit access from the space (e.g., stairs, aisles, corridors, ramps and passageways leading to an exit from the booth space). NOISE LEVEL Sound levels will be closely monitored in the GWCC. In general, exhibitors may use sound equipment in their booth as long as the noise level does not disrupt the activities of neighboring exhibitors. Speakers, monitors and other devices must be positioned so as to direct sound into the booth rather than out to the aisle. Show Management will enforce the following AIA rule: sound and noise may not exceed 75 decibels. If the noise level is still disruptive after three warnings, Show Management reserves the right to disconnect or remove the source of the noise violation for the duration of the event. The AIA appreciates your cooperation. PRE-SHOW Promote. Take advantage of the pre-show Attendee list (available for purchase) and send mailings or postcards to attendees inviting them to visit your booth. Focus on Green. Include educational information about sustainability and how it relates to your company or product. Show what progress your company has made through greening initiatives. Generate Media Awareness. Contact media outlets to make them aware of your presence at the show and highlight new products or services you plan to exhibit. POST SHOW Follow Up on Leads. This is your chance to maintain communication with attendees who

9 showed interest in your product(s). Consider Changes to Improve Exhibit. Consider what worked and what did not work on-site. Was your booth large enough? Did you ship enough hand-outs? Take notes on these items to better prepare for your next event. Tell Us about Your Experience. Complete the Exhibitor Survey that will be distributed post show. SALES OFFICE The Sales Office will be located on the expo floor in booth 2583 SECURITY The exhibit hall will be monitored by uniformed security guards during the entire show. While general perimeter security is provided, the security of your booth or valuable items cannot be guaranteed. It is advisable to remove valuable items that are easily removed when you leave your booth. Report any missing items to Show Management in the Convention Operations Office in room B210 and to the security supervisor immediately. For information on ordering a security guard for an individual booth see the forms & brochures section of the exhibitor service manual. TARGETED FREIGHT MOVE-IN*: FOR DIRECT SHIPMENTS ONLY!

EXHIBIT SHOW MANAGEMENT If your exhibit has any variations from the Rules and Regulations, you must contact Show Management for written approval a minimum of 60 days prior to move-in. Questions or requests for an exception to the Rules and Regulations must be directed to: Tiffany Roe Operations Manager Informa Exhibitions U.S., Construction and Real Estate P.O. Box Dallas, TX Phone: Fax: DISTRIBUTION OF SAMPLES, BROCHURES, FLYERS, SOUVENIRS, ETC. The distribution of samples, brochures, flyers and/or souvenirs from your booth is permitted provided they pertain to the architectural and/or building professions and there is no interference with other exhibitors.

The distribution of handouts, souvenirs, promotional literature, etc. may only be conducted from inside your booth in conformance with the regulations explained with regard to Demonstrations. Such items may not be distributed nor placed in public areas, inside or outside the building, beyond the boundary of your booth. This restriction includes the sidewalks outside of Georgia World Congress Center. Non-compliance to this policy may be cause for dismissal from the building and will result in forfeiture of priority points for future events. SELLING ON EXPO FLOOR NO cash and carry sale of goods as in a retail setting is permitted from an exhibit booth or in the exhibit facility. Exhibiting companies found participating in this action, will be removed from the expo floor and no monies will be returned for booth fees. ANIMALS Live animals or pets are not allowed on the expo floor at any time. Individuals who have disabilities may be accompanied by their service or assistance animal.

12 BALLOONS / INFLATABLE OBJECTS Helium balloons and similar objects are strictly prohibited. Distribution of balloons or any other helium-filled object is not permitted. The use of inflatable exhibits is prohibited. CHILDREN All children must be registered as a Guest or Expo Only, must have a badge, and must be accompanied by an adult at all times.

EXHIBITOR ACCESS TO THE EXHIBIT HALL Only registered exhibitors, approved vendors, Show Management and AIA staff members will be admitted to the exhibit hall during set-up hours. Exhibitors should plan to leave the exhibit hall by the stated closing times on set-up and show days. Please advise Show Management no later than 3:00 P.M. if you have reason to remain in the hall after the set closing time on show days so appropriate security arrangements can be made for you.

ADHERENCE TO SHOW HOURS All exhibitors are required to staff their booth(s) during the posted show hours. Exhibitors will not be allowed to dismantle their booth prior to the official close of the show at 2:00 pm on Saturday, May 16. This includes any kind of tear down activity including the packing of promotional materials, the removal of signs, etc. There are no exceptions to this rule. Early dismantle of an exhibit will result in forfeiture of priority points for future events. SECURITY Security guards will be stationed around the perimeter of the exhibit hall 24 hours a day during installation, show days, and move-out. However, each exhibitor is responsible for the security and protection of their product, display materials, and personal items at all times. Due to the need for Show Management, facility personnel, construction and utilities personnel, exhibitor personnel, and others to have access to the exhibit hall at various times, it is not possible for Show Management to guarantee full security, regardless of the number of guards. Problems most commonly occur when exhibitors

13 leave valuables in plain view, hide valuables under a table, or leave the booth unstaffed for even short periods. Losses are most prevalent during the first few hours after the show ends and tear-down begins. Please be particularly careful and make sure your booth is staffed until all your goods are safely packed and prepared for outbound shipping. Exhibitors are urged to take whatever precautionary measures they feel necessary to protect their property, such as insuring their goods or hiring private security guards. The AIA, Informa Exhibitions U.S., Construction and Real Estate, Georgia World Congress Center, and the service contractors and official vendors will not be held responsible for theft, loss, vandalism, and fire or water damage.

SOUND/MUSIC The use of music or other sounds, generated by equipment or created live, is allowed in exhibitor booths as long as the sound level does not disrupt other exhibitors. Note the use of live music must be approved by Show Management in advance of the event. Additionally, speakers and other devices must face inside the booth rather than out toward the aisles. Sound level is judged on its interference with normal conversation in adjacent areas and the distance that it projects. Under no condition may sound exceed 75 decibels. Noncompliance to this policy maybe cause for dismissal from the building and will result in forfeiture of priority points for future events. After three warnings or complaints of disruptive sound, Show Management may disconnect and/or remove the source of the sound violation for the remainder of the show.

20 Scheduling Policies Georgia World Congress Center and Georgia Dome PURPOSE The Georgia World Congress Center (GWCC) and the Georgia Dome (Dome) are multipurpose facilities owned by the State of Georgia and managed by the GWCC Authority. The Dome was developed as home venue for the NFL s Atlanta Falcons. Both facilities were developed with the primary objective of promoting and facilitating national and international events and activities that generate economic benefits to the State of Georgia and the City of Atlanta. In addition, the facilities were developed with a secondary objective of providing services and facilities to respond to the needs of state and local activities that promote business and generally enhance the quality of life for the community they serve. SCHEDULING PRIORITIES Generally speaking, first priority for scheduling facilities and dates in the Georgia World Congress Center is available to regional, national and international conventions, trade shows, corporate meetings and similar activities that are not normally open to the general public and/or which generate significant attendance from outside the City of Atlanta and the State of Georgia. First priority for scheduling facilities and dates in the Georgia Dome, in addition to Atlanta Falcons NFL football games, is available to regional, national and international sports, entertainment and special events requiring mass seating capacities. Such events may include professional, collegiate and amateur sports, touring concerts, large conventions and a variety of ticketed special events. In addition, certain state and local conventions, trade shows or other special events may be deemed appropriate to the overall objectives of the GWCC and Georgia Dome and may be offered equal scheduling priority at the discretion of the Executive Director. Facilities and space scheduling commitments (i.e., reservations for first priority events and activities) may be made as far in advance as is necessary or appropriate and may supersede requests for other events and activities, unless a license agreement has been previously executed for such other events. Second priority for scheduling dates in the facilities is available to consumer or public exhibitions, local corporate meetings, special events, banquets, entertainment events, business meetings and other activities that essentially draw from or appeal to the general public and/or local attendees and participants. Facilities and date scheduling commitments for second priority events and activities are generally made not more than two (2) years in advance and are subject to change to accommodate first priority events unless a license agreement has been previously executed for such events. However, large consumer and public exhibitions held on an annual basis may, at the discretion of the Executive Director, obtain tentative scheduling commitments for facilities and dates on a long-term basis, subject to revision to accommodate first priority activities. Within the second priority category, facility management will give preference to longstanding annual public and commercial shows with a proven record of success and of significant impact and may offer alternate dates in a given year that may result in termination of other second priority scheduling commitments. Subject to the priorities set forth above, the Executive Director may exercise discretion as to the issuance, modification or termination of tentative scheduling commitments. 1.1
