  • To ensure all exhibitor materials are removed from the exhibit facility by the Exhibitor Move-Out deadline, please have all carriers check-in by January 15, 2026 - 9:00 AM.

Excessive Trash and Booth Abandonment

  • Any bulk trash which consists of display materials, carpet, padding, crates and/or pallets will be disposed of and charged both a dumpster fee and a disposal fee during exhibitor move-in.

  • Excessive booth materials and/or literature left in the booth at the end of published exhibitor move-out will be considered abandoned and deemed as bulk trash. Bulk trash is defined as any waste larger than 3’ x 3’ x 3’ or 1m x 1m x 1m. The exhibitor will be charged for the removal and disposal of these items. The charges may include the following:

    • Installation & Dismantle Labor Forklift & Rigging Labor Dumpster Fee

    • Equipment if deemed necessary

      • To avoid additional charges, ensure your booth space is completely clean, and all leftovers are removed before leaving the show floor.
