Marshalling Yard will be established to ease congestion in the vicinity of the facility and to better utilize the available dock space at the convention center.

It is important that you advise your carrier of this Marshalling Yard information to better facilitate your direct shipment to showsite.

The Marshalling Yard process is as follows:

• All delivering carriers and privately owned vehicles must check in at the Marshalling Yard prior to show site deliveries.


• All inbound shipments must be accompanied by a certified weight certificate and Bill of Lading.


• Drivers will then check in at the convention center, be assigned a number and will be dispatched to the appropriate dock at San Jose McEnery Convention Center as space is available. Waiting time at the Marshaling Yard should be anticipated by your carrier. Every effort is made to keep this waiting time at a minimum. However, the waiting time depends on many factors, including the number of vehicles arriving to unload/load, the type of loads being unloaded at the SJCC, the number of booths on a truck, etc.


• All drivers are expected to adhere to GES' policies and procedures with respect to the loading and unloading of trailers.
