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 marshalling 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 at the back of this Exhibitor Guide. UNLOADING AND PARKING Ample Parking is available at the Convention Center for a daily fee. Trailers may be parked overnight in Lot J on Henderson St. • Parking is NOT allowed at the entrance of the facility; unattended vehicles will be towed at the exhibitor’s expense. • Nothing 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 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 at the back of this Exhibitor 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.

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

Please see the MARSHALLING YARD MAP located at the back of this Exhibitor Guide. 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 among the Exhibitor Services Desks located in the Great Hall. 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.
