*Construction waste (e.g. Carpet, wood, bricks, cabinets, etc.) MUST be removed from the venue by the exhibitors. Pack out what you pack in!
MOVE-OUT:
Tear down begins at 6:15pm. Packing up your display before the show closes is a direct breach of contract and will result in a fine. Once your booth is completely torn down please notify the Central Display help desk (located beside the North East Loading Dock) they will visually confirm and then allow your vehicle access – there is no waiting in line ahead of time, this holds up everyone else and the city tends to ticket vehicles waiting.
*Construction waste (e.g. Carpet, wood, bricks, cabinets, etc.) MUST be removed from the venue by the exhibitors. Pack out what you pack in!
Most displays should be out on Sunday. If you have a big display (10x20 or bigger) and would like to come on Monday all displays must be out by 2pm. The loading dock is open from 7:00pm on Sunday until 2:00pm on Monday. Feel free to come during the night – this is the quietest time.
If you have any concerns or something the team should know (another show in another city right away), please contact
Kayla Donaldson.
