If your freight/materials are arriving to show-site via a commercial carrier or company vehicle (not personal vehicles): all drivers must report to the Marshalling Yard first during the specified move in time for your booth. They will then be directed to the convention center for off-loading. Any carriers that show up directly to the convention center will be re-directed to the Marshalling Yard to be assigned a loading time & dock. All drivers must have certified heavy and empty weights when they report to the Marshalling Yard.  If not, this will most likely cause missed targeted move-in as they will be sent to get the weights.  That will result in off-target costs.

If you are bringing your freight/materials using a privately owned vehicle (POV – non-commercial vehicle): You may proceed directly to the convention center docks during your specified move-in time.

Will Union Labor be required to move-in/set up my booth? Please review the Convention Center Labor Jurisdictions (coming soon) so that you know what to expect during setup.
