Shipments will need to arrive on or between business days: January 15, 2025 - February 6, 2025. Materials after February 6, 2025 WILL BE received with an additional after deadline charge. For exact charges, contact Freeman directly.
Receiving hours: Monday - Friday 8:00 am - 3:30 pm, closed on holidays. If a phone number is required by your carrier, provide them with this (888) 508-5054
The Convention Center does not have a Business Center.
Here are the following instructions for Fedex and UPS shipments. Below are the outbound paperwork you can fill out in advance (labeled outbound shipping) and return to FREEMAN in advance or they will have your outbound shipping ready for you onsite or you can fill it out onsite if you prefer. After FREEMAN receives the outbound paperwork, they will produce a material handling agreement, see sample below for a reference (MHA sample).
If exhibitor chooses to ship out Fedex or UPS, you need to provide your own shipping labels and arrange for a call pick up with the carrier during exhibitor dismantle hours. Freeman cannot make the call for a pick up. It needs to be the exhibitor or someone from their office.
The exhibitor will then need to visit the Freeman service desk on-site to fill out outbound paperwork if you have not completed in advance. Once you are packed up, return to the service desk to hand in the paperwork so that FREEMAN can release the freight to Fedex or UPS. (All exhibitors must do this if they are shipping out regardless if they are using Freeman Transportation, Fedex, UPS or a different carrier). If FREEMAN does not receive the paperwork, then they cannot release it to your carrier.
The exhibitor will also need to let FREEMAN know what you want done with the shipment in case UPS or Fedex doesn't show up for the pickup. (This is actually a step that all exhibitors must do if they are not using Freeman Transportation to ship out and this is outlined in red on the sample MHA).
Exhibitor Registration is to be used for your Team Members ONLY. Please never register guests or clients using Exhibitor badges. We cannot allow non-exhibitors access to the expo hall during setup hours.

You may choose which team members will receive all access to meals...those individuals register as EXHIBITOR CONFERENCE. All other team members will be registered as EXHIBITOR BOOTH STAFF.
