The Sampson County Exposition Center is the host site for over 300 private and public events each year.  These events often require events services including caterers, decorators, florists, DJ’s/Bands, rental companies, audiovisual companies, sound & production companies or other service-oriented companies that work with clients who are planning or producing events. All Service Providers that wish to work at the Sampson County Exposition Center are required to annually submit a Service Provider Application/Renewal Form to become or remain listed as an Approved Service Provider. (Applications for new caterers must be received a minimum of six (6) months before the date of a clients event.)


Approved Service Providers provide invaluable services to our clients.  Approved Service Providers are aware of the policies, rules, and guidelines that are in place and designed to ensure public safety and to aid in the protection of the building and grounds.


How this benefits you!  First, only Approved Service Providers are permitted to work onsite. Secondly, your business is promoted two ways, (1) printed copies of the Approved Service Providers lists are provided to our clients, and (2) Approved Service Providers are listed online at www.sampsonexpocenter.com.  Sampson County businesses (all types) are eligible to be included at no cost.  Caterers and Decorators that are located outside Sampson County may be included at $50 per year (July 1 to June 30). Pro-rated fees are not offered.  


The Approved Service Provider listing runs concurrently with the fiscal year of the Sampson County Exposition Center (July 1 to June 30).

Service Providers who desire to remain on the list of Approved Service Providers must annually complete and submit an Application/Renewal Form and Acknowledgment by May 31 of each fiscal year..  (Please note.  All Service Providers not meeting this deadline will be deleted as a service provider, and will not be permitted to work at the facility beyond June 30th, without first submitting a new application.)
