We urge exhibitors to move in starting Tuesday, February 27, 2024 if you are in a 20x20 or larger space to help alleviate congestion on Wednesday, February 28. POVs should utilize the designated Hand Carried Freight area to unload/load as vehicle heights + garage limits allow. If your delivery vehicle is larger than the limit, you will need to go to the marshaling yard first to be dispatched to the loading dock. The loading docks will be managed by GES, and they will be unloading/loading all freight that arrives there. Any freight that GES handles will incur material handling charges. Please reach out to GES to get a material handling quote. - Link Coming Soon!

Please click here Link Coming Soon! for more information on this program. - Direct to Show-site POV Deliveries - Oversized Vehicles
You must check into the marshaling yard and not go direct to the loading docks at the Summit Building. They will be dispatched as spaces become available. Marshaling Yard address + details here Link Coming Soon!

Notice to Exhibitors Regarding Non-Official Contractors
The companies listed above have been appointed as the only Official Contractors providing the stated services for this event. Show Management carefully considers the selection of Official Contractors based on quality of service, variety of products, price, and reputation. Since these contractors frequently work on more than one show with us, they value the business of our customers and provide quality products and services. Some companies may misrepresent themselves as being an official contractor so PLEASE be sure to check the list in the exhibitor manual or give us a call.
Some things to watch for if you are considering the services of a non-official contractor are hidden charges for material handling, labor, and shipping that you might not pay otherwise (for example on carpet rental), control over delivery time, availability during move-in and leverage if something goes wrong.
Also be advised that non-official contractors will need to abide by the Exhibitor Appointed Contractor procedures, provide insurance certificates, etc. in order to gain access to the Show Floor.

BEWARE of the Expo-Guide
Reed Exhibitions and Emerald City Comic Con also do NOT support the Expo-Guide — it is NOT affiliated with Reed Exhibitions or Emerald City Comic Con.
