Nope not in a convention center but I have in theatres. The few times I've worked in convention centers I've been a hands off gear wrangler. I don't know what kind of certification the lift operators had because I was just there to get the gear and get out. I'm sure IBEW would have had problems with my going up in a lift to pull the points down myself but my lack of certification would have been on the bottom of that list.
