LOAD-IN
Exhibitor load-in occurs the Monday before the show from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm. The move-in will be through the two overhead doors that are located in a small loading zone parking lot on Whitesboro Street between the two main buildings of the Complex. After you unload you can pull across the street into the main parking lot. There will be two of our staff members available to help unload your materials and bring them to your booth. They work for tips only. Be generous! There are no extra carts available, so you either need to use our move-in help or bring your own cart.
