ALL FREIGHT MUST BE MOVED IN BY 7:00 p.m., MONDAY, November 30th.

HAND CARRY FREIGHT For the convenience and safety of exhibitors and patrons, all freight and material handling must enter and exit the facility through the loading docks. Exhibitors will be allowed to hand carry items in or out of the facility without having to access the loading dock. No parking is allowed at the entrance of the facility; and the use of passenger elevators for movement of freight is not allowed. All packages are subject to inspection by facility personnel.

POV’S REQUIRING A LOADING DOCK Exhibitors arriving in POV’s (Personally Owned Vehicles) requiring a dock height to unload themselves may use the loading dock area. We have allotted one dock space on a first-come, first-served basis for Personally Owned Vehicles. Vehicles requiring dock space will be put in the marshaling yard line to obtain a pass for unloading.

MARSHALLING YARD PROCEDURE - FOR BOTH MOVE-IN AND MOVE-OUT • The Marshalling Yard is located at 1221 S. Peters Street.

All vehicles arriving at the convention to load or unload exhibit material will be directed to the Marshalling Yard. After vehicles are parked, drivers should report to the Freeman office in Lot B for check-in.

• There will be TWO lines formed at the Marshalling Yard. One line for POVs and one line for outside carriers.

• Vehicles will be sent to the loading dock in number-order.

Vehicles in the POV line will be sent over to the Morial Convention Center as POV dock space becomes available. Vehicles in the outside carrier line will be sent over to the Morial Convention Center as outside carrier dock space becomes available. Make sure you are in the correct line.

• The Morial Convention Center Transportation Manager will check you in at the entrance to the loading dock and direct you toward the open dock space.

• After unloading you must move your vehicle away from the docks. POVs have 20 minutes to unload and may not leave their vehicle at the docks during booth set-up. POVs left unattended will be towed away at the exhibitor’s expense.

POVs may park at Lot G adjacent to the Morial Convention Center after unloading at the dock and then return to the Morial Convention Center for booth set-up.

Please see the MARSHALLING YARD MAP located on page 14 of this guide.

UNLOADING AND PARKING Ample Parking is available at the Convention Center for a daily fee. Trailers may be parked overnight in Lot J. • Parking is NOT allowed at the entrance of the facility; unattended vehicles will be towed at the exhibitor’s expense.

•N othing may be “wheeled” through the lobby of the MCCNO. Exhibitors with luggage cards, rolling exhibits cases, dollies, etc. must walk to the exhibit hall through the loading docks.

THIS INCLUDES DURING MOVE-OUT. • Exhibitors able to easily hand-carry items by themselves may walk through the lobby entrance.

• The entire dock area will be a No Parking Zone. Illegally parked vehicles will be ticketed and towed.

Please see the PARKING MAP located on page 15 of this guide.

MOVE-IN REGULATIONS

MOVE IN WORK RULES: • Exhibitors must off-load from a company-owned truck or rental vehicle or from a car, van or truck owned by bonafide, full-time company employees of the exhibiting company (POV) that is 24’ or less. All vehicles including co-owned or rental vehicle over 24’ in length WILL BE off-loaded by Union Labor at the exhibitor’s cost.

• Exhibitors may use only hand-operated equipment (dollies, hand trucks, and four-wheeled push carts) that the exhibitors themselves have provided.

• The use of forklifts, pallet jacks, lift gates or any other motorized or mechanical equipment is not permitted.

EMPTY CRATE STORAGE If you wish to have your empty crates and cartons stored by Freeman, they must be labeled with “Empty” crate stickers.

These stickers can be obtained from the Freeman Desk located with the Exhibitor Services Desks, located in the Great Hall Pre-Function Area behind Lobby A. We ask your cooperation in labeling your crates as soon as they have been emptied so that we can clean the exhibit floor and install the aisle carpeting. Items that are not labeled with an “Empty” crate sticker may be considered trash and discarded.

• Personnel performing the work must be bonafide, full-time employees of the exhibiting company. Such personnel may be asked to provide full-time employment with the exhibiting company.

• Stand builders and exhibitors may work until 8:00pm each day of move-in. However, after 6:00pm you cannot leave the hall and re-enter, you must stay inside the hall.

If you leave, you will not be permitted to return by security staff.

• Please note that overtime rates are in effect before 8:00 a.m. and after 4:30 p.m. on Monday through Friday, and ALL DAY on Saturday, Sunday and Holidays.

11/10/15 8:57 AM

MOVE-OUT REGULATIONS EMPTY CRATE & CARTON RETURN: As soon as security has safely cleared the exhibit floor of attendees at the close of the Show, Freeman will begin to roll up the aisle carpet. Placing items in the aisle before the aisle carpet is removed will delay the carpet removal process, and therefore, your move-out. PLEASE KEEP ALL AISLES CLEAR when the show breaks. Once the aisle carpet has been removed, Freeman will begin to return empty crates and carton, it should take 4-5 hours for Freeman to return all the empty crates. We appreciate your cooperation to ensure a smooth move out.

MOVE-OUT PROCEDURE FOR SELF-LOADING EXHIBITORS (POV): Self-loading exhibitors will need to obtain a dock pass from Freeman personnel per the following locations: Booths in aisles 100 – 1900: Hall B Dock Booths in aisles 2000 – 4800: Hall D Dock Of note: • Freight must be packed & ready to load prior to dock passes being obtained • For your convenience, Gate 9 in Lobby B (lobby side of 1000 aisle) will also be open for loading • All carriers must check in with Freeman by 11:00 a.m. on Monday to pick up out-going shipments. If your carrier fails to check in by 11:00am, your freight will be re-routed at additional costs. All exhibits must be dismantled, packed, labeled and ready for shipping by 11:00am on Monday, December 7th.

MARSHALLING YARD PROCEDURE • The Marshalling Yard is located at 1221 S. Peters Street.

All vehicles arriving at the convention to load or unload exhibit material will be directed to the Marshalling Yard.

After vehicles are parked, drivers should report to the Freeman office in Lot B for check-in.

• After unloading you must move your vehicle away from the docks. POVs have 20 minutes to unload and may not leave their vehicle at the docks during booth set-up.

POVs left unattended will be towed away at the exhibitor’s expense. POVs may park at Lot G adjacent to the Morial Convention Center after unloading at the dock and then return to the Morial Convention Center for booth set-up.

Please see the MARSHALLING YARD MAP located on page 14.

EXHIBITOR SHIPPING – AFTER THE SHOW Every outbound shipment will require a material handling agreement (bill of lading) and labels. Freeman would be happy to prepare these for you in advance and will deliver them to your booth at the show site to review and sign. To take advantage of this service, please see a Freeman representative at the Freeman Desk or the Exhibitor Services Desks located in the Great Hall Pre-Function Area behind lobby A. Once your shipment is packed and ready to be picked up, please return the material handling agreement to the one of the Freeman Service Desks. Verify that piece count, weight and signature is on the material handling agreement prior to shipping out or material handling will be returned to Freeman’s warehouse at the exhibitor’s expense.

If you have a preferred carrier or trucking company you must make arrangements for them to pick up your materials in advance. Trucks will be loaded only when all exhibiting companies scheduled for pick up by that carrier are ready, and all material handling agreements have been turned in to the Freeman Service Desk. To avoid overtime charges, be sure to schedule your pick-up during straight time hours of operation.

• There will be TWO lines formed at the Marshalling Yard.

One line for POVs and one line for outside carriers.

•V ehicles will be sent to the loading dock in number-order. Vehicles in the POV line will be sent over to the Morial Convention Center as POV dock space becomes available. Vehicles in the outside carrier line will be sent over to the Morial Convention Center as outside carrier dock space becomes available. Make sure you are in the correct line.

• The Morial Convention Center Transportation Manager will check you in at the entrance to the loading dock and direct you toward the open dock space.
