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 at the North West loading dock entrance) 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.
*Use of the South Dock is only available on Sunday
*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 12pm. The loading dock is open from 7:00pm on Sunday until 12:00pm on Monday. Feel free to come during the night – this is the quietest time.
