All exhibitors are required to follow all labor information published in the Exhibitor Service Kit.
Exhibitors may order labor in one of two ways:
Supervised Labor – for a 30% supervision fee, General Exposition Services will oversee the installation and dismantle of your exhibit in your absence. If you would like General Exposition Services to supervise, be sure to submit the set up instructions for your exhibit with your order.
Exhibitor Supervised – in this case, a representative from your company must check-in at the Service Desk to pick-up scheduled labor workers. Your employee is then responsible for supervising all work performed. Workers remain on your clock until your representative returns with the laborers to the Service Desk and signs them back over to General Exposition Services.
The charge for labor is a one-hour minimum per worker. One-hour increments thereafter. If Installation labor is used, dismantle labor is also required.
Start time guaranteed only when labor is requested for the start of the working day (8:00am).
Labor must be cancelled in writing, 24 hours in advance to avoid estimated labor charges.
Material handling (Drayage) is the movement of your freight from the carrier to your booth and then back to the venue loading dock at the close of the show. This includes receipt, unloading and storage (up to 30 days) of your freight at the advance warehouse; delivery of the materials to your booth; the handling of empty containers to and from storage and removal of your material from the booth to the venue loading dock.
Yes. Material handling charges are computed based upon the weight of your materials. The weight is rounded up to the closest hundred pounds (cwt) and charged according to the rates published in the Exhibitor Service Kit. Please remember that this is a Material Handling charge, your shipping company will also charge you a fee. Also, there can be additional charges for late delivery or non-payment. Please refer to your Exhibitor Service Kit.
CWT is an increment of measure for freight, it is based on 100 pounds. If you have freight that weighs 2500 pounds, you would have 25 cwt. To calculate your freight charges, take the number of cwt’s and multiply by the dollar amount given for your type of shipment (advance or direct). This will be the charge for material handling. NOTE: All weights are rounded to the next 100 pounds, if you have 250 pounds, it is considered 300 pounds or 3 cwt.
If you miss the advance-shipping deadline, you have two options. First, you may still ship to the advance warehouse but you will incur late charges and possibly special transportation charges. The other option would be to ship directly to show site if permitted by the venue. Please refer to the Exhibitor Service Kit for discount deadlines and specific dates for shipping.
As an exhibitor, you are free to use whichever carrier you like to transport your materials. At the present time, our preferred carriers are FedEx (packages) and YRC (LTL).
In most cases, an exhibitor may bring in what can be hand-carried without the use of loading dock or mechanized equipment including pallet jacks, forklifts, etc. Refer to your Exhibitor Service Kit for specific information regarding your show.
Demers Exposition Services internal shipping labels are included in the Exhibitor Service Kit. It is important that your label is complete to minimize any delays in the movement of your material.
The three main advantages to shipping to the advance warehouse versus directly to show site are:
- You have plenty of time to confirm that your shipment has arrived and that everything is intact.
- These materials will be delivered to your booth prior to the official exhibitor move-in time.
- Delivery dates and times are more flexible.
First, you should locate your shipping paperwork. Call your carrier to verify the address where your materials were shipped and verify that the shipment has been delivered. If the carrier has delivered your shipment, obtain the date, time and signature of the person who signed for the shipment.
Take this information to our Service Desk so we can assist in tracking your materials.
Remember, we begin receiving show site shipments during exhibitor move-in and drivers are scheduled for unloading on a first-come, first serve basis.
