PERSONNEL

All labor employed by the exhibit service contractor or production company will wear clothing that is neat
in appearance. Outside contractors, production companies, etc. and their employees must enter the
resort through the Resort associate entrance or the Resort’s loading docks. Upon entering the building
independent contractors will be issued a visitor’s badge from Resort Security and will need to sign in a
logbook indicating name and company. Upon leaving the Resort they will be required to turn in their
visitor pass, sign out and exit through the Resort’s associate exit or either loading dock.

Smoking, eating and drinking is permitted in designated areas only. The Resort’s Employee Cafeteria is
reserved for Resort Associates only and may not be used by outside personnel. Use of the public
bathrooms is also restricted. Outside personnel may use the associate bathrooms located near all
ballroom areas in the back aisles. Smoking is only permitted outside security.

Fighting, creating disturbance, horseplay, disorderly conduct or the use of abusive language is a violation
of resort policy and will result in immediate removal of the individual(s) from the premises. Theft,
attempted theft, misappropriation of property or aiding of such acts will also result in immediate removal
from the property with possible criminal prosecution.

FIRE ALARM SYSTEM

Our Resort is equipped with a laser beam system in all ballrooms that when broken will activate alarms.
Resort Personnel must be notified prior to using any lifts or raising any equipment higher than 15’.
Please contact the PSAV Audio Visual Department by dialing 210‐865‐4421 or by using any house phone
and dial O for the operator. The Event Technology Department will coordinate the sensors being
temporarily deactivated with our Engineering Department. They will need to know what room or rooms
will be used and the approximate times the sensors should be deactivated. Using Lifts and or raising
equipment over 15’ should not commence without express permission from Event Technology that the
sensors have been deactivated. Failure to follow this procedure inevitably will set off the alarms and
could cause a great disruption for anyone in the ballroom area. Once the work has been completed,
please again call the Event Technology Department to have the sensors reactivated. Please also note
that it is our practice to reactivate sensors on a regular basis unless specifically directed not to do so.
Never assume that the sensors have been deactivated because they were off yesterday. When in doubt,
please call and verify.

Foreign substance, not heat or smoke activates the fire alarm system in the Hotel. Programs in which
equipment such as fog machines, laser shows, special effects, etc., must have written and stamped
approval by the Bexar County Fire Marshall three (3) weeks prior to the event.
Submit all drawings to event manager who will submit to the Fire Marshal for approval.

Only water based fog/haze machines are to be used inside the resort. Oil based is not allowed. Any use of
a water based fog/haze machine requires a fire watch – this includes rehearsals.

If a diagram requires the blocking of Exit Doors, Fire sirens/strobes, etc. it must be indicated. Exact
requirements to meet approval for this are available through your event manager
.
Should the activity in the ballroom require the use of a "Fire Watch," additional charges will apply
Additional information is available upon request.

Policy on Client provided/owned equipment
Customers are welcome to bring in and use their own audio visual equipment, however please note the
rules that apply when using your own equipment:

        The Audio Visual equipment must be set in such a way that it does not create an unacceptable
         disturbance to adjacent meetings, create any unsafe conditions for other guests and or staff
         members, and must meet all Marriott and Fire Marshall Rules. This includes taping down all
         cables across a doorway or pathway of guests and associates.
        Customers may not plug into or use the Marriott house sound system without prior permission
         or patch fees.
        Customers wireless equipment must be turned off or reprogrammed to other frequencies if the
         wireless signals interfere with Marriott’s or other guest’s existing equipment. It is suggested
         that a list of wireless frequencies intended to be used be submitted to Marriott’s Audio Visual
         department prior to set up or arrival. In the event of a conflict, it is the Customer’s equipment
         that must be modified to eliminate the crossover.
        Customers bringing in their own AV equipment must make arrangements for power in each
         individual room.
        Customers are welcome to leave their equipment in the meeting rooms but by doing so they are

         again for their meeting. PSAV will not breakdown and reset the Customer’s equipment.

         made to schedule a technician to assist them. Technician fees will apply and there is a 4 hour
         minimum. By arranging for a Technician for assistance, it does not release the Customer from
         the responsibility of the safety and security of their equipment.
        Empty storage cases and or boxes must be stored in the Customer’s own space. Storing
         cases or boxes in the back hallways or in sight of the general public is not allowed.
