Show Management Guidelines
Exhibitor Guidelines
THC Edibles or similar hallucinogenic products are not allowed to be distributed or sold at MCC. All consumable food products or ingested products sold or distributed at MCC must be provided by MCC’s in-house caterer. Due to lack of clear licensing and legal liability insurance similar to alcohol sales, Kelber Catering and the MCC do not permit the sale of consumable THC gummies or like consumable THC products.
“I utilize Convention Center Caterers across the country and Kelber Catering is unmatched in their service and preparation. Kelber understands the significance of preparing food samples to our company‘s standards and treats our product as if it were their own.”
