Frequently asked Questions
What is the usual length of time needed to load or unload at Convention Centres?
The time varies greatly depending on several factors that are unique to every event.
What happens if we are late for pick up or delivery?
Depending on the situation, if you are late for the move-in, you may be unable to set up your booth altogether. As for delivery, if your assigned truck is not on site when it’s your turn to move out, trade show and expo administrators will have their own carrier move the freight out at your expense, which can be very costly.
