Material Handling

Let GES do the heavy lifting
PLEASE NOTE: GES has been appointed by Show Management to exclusively perform Material Handling Services at the expense of the exhibitor (Closed dock). Please notify your carrier and exhibit house. If you are shipping material to the advance warehouse or to the show site, please make sure to pre-order your material handling services before the event. Exhibitors coming to the loading dock with their vehicle during move-in will be allowed one hand-carry trip to the exhibit hall at no charge. For more than one hand-carry trip, the exhibitor will have to pay standard material handling fees.

Exhibitors are required to use GES to perform Material Handling services which include:

Receipt, documentation and inspection of your shipment(s) upon arrival
Unloading of shipment(s) at the show site dock & delivery to your booth
Removal of containers labeled "empty" from booth to the storage area
Storage of empty containers during the event
Return of empty containers to booth after show close
Movement of outbound shipment(s) from your booth to the loading dock
Reload of shipment(s) from dock onto your carrier

Exhibitors shipping to the GES Advance Warehouse also receive these additional service beneﬁts:

Storage for up to 30 days in the Advance Warehouse
Delivery of shipment(s) from the warehouse to show site
First-priority unloading status during move-in
DRY GOODS ONLY
Shipments of loose materials will NOT be accepted at the advance warehouse

Advance Warehouse Service does not include the return of your shipments to the warehouse at the end of the show. Your carrier must pick-up at the show site loading dock or when available you can order Post Show Storage Service. Exhibitors selecting non-official carriers will need to make their own arrangements for pickup.
