It is also possible that your convention center's electricians are not
represented by the IBEW.

Having attended and exhibited at many trade shows over the years, the fee
for electrical service is a hourly rate with a one hour minimum,
regardless of how long it actually takes to do the job. The 50 buck fee
being discussed here would apply for wiring in a new service, or plugging
in the cord to an existing one. The requirement on the exhibitor to
utilize the exhibit hall contractor, union or not, is mandated by the
exhibit hall insurance regulations.

I don't mind having to pay for that service.

Thanks for explaining how it works. It certainly makes more sense now.
