Where is the loading dock located?
In order to get to the loading dock entrance, go to the parking lot located off of Lippelman Road. You can also park here throughout the event.
Where do I check in?
We will have a check in table near dock door 6. This is where you will receive your badges. All exhibitors must check in and enter here. Please only send one person to the check in table, and have them distribute badges to the rest of your group.
No one is allowed to park on the ramps in front of any doors. These are primary access doors for anyone entering with carts and displays. It clogs it up and hinders others from entering.
Where can I unload my truck?
Docks 8 and 9 have a lift for truck access to the dock. Do not park there until check in. The dock space is assigned by the venue’s dock security guard.
When and where do I enter after check-in?
Before the event, you will need to enter through Door 6 of the loading dock where check-in is. During the event you may use the other entrances. Exhibitors will enter through a set of double doors next to Door 6 on Friday until 3:00 PM. On Saturday and Sunday, exhibitors may enter through these doors starting at 8:30 AM.
The convention center has multiple parking lots connected and in the surrounding vicinity. Parking is typically free. This is a link to the parking map.

Yes, we have rented flat bed push carts to help speed up the loading process and for your convenience. To be sure that the carts are accounted for, you will be asked to surrender a driver’s license. You may load and transport your merchandise on the cart and you are asked to unload it as soon as possible, so you may return it to the dock for the next exhibitor to use. Upon returning the cart, the license will be returned to you. The carts will then be locked up for the entire weekend and not available to be claimed until 5:00pm on Sunday. Again, you will be asked to surrender a driver’s license. You may load and transport your merchandise on the cart and you are asked to unload it as soon as possible, so you may return it to the dock for the next exhibitor to use. Upon returning the cart, the license will be returned to you.
To be fair to all exhibitors, please load and unload carts as quickly as possible at your booth location or dock space. If you wish to move at your own pace, you are welcome to bring your own cart/dolly to transport your items.

This will be nothing like our load out downtown. There will be no dock passes, once the garage doors open at the end of the event, you are free to load out as you see fit. If you need access to one of the lifts let me know during the event.
Once again carts will not be moved into the hall until after the show has ended.
Everyone, including us, needs to be out of the building no later than 10:00 PM
