Move-In

CONTRACT CARRIERS, CARS OR TRUCKS WITH TRAILERS, BOBTAILS AND SEMIS All contract carriers, cars or trucks with trailers, bobtails and semis, MUST go through the Loading Dock to receive freight handling instructions. Show Management will pay for 300 lbs. per company of booth space that comes through the Loading Dock.

PASSENGER VEHICLES (POVS) This loading dock is for passenger cars, pickup trucks, SUVs, mini-vans and station wagons. NO bobtails, NO trailers, NO semis, NO outside carriers.

• Hand Carry - No Material Handling Service Provided If you choose to carry your own materials into your booth you are forfeiting the material handling service provided by Show Management. Hand carry can ONLY come through Convention Center Lobby. Exhibitors may hand carry their merchandise from a privately-owned vehicle. All vehicles must be parked in a parking lot; no curbside parking allowed. No wheeled carts of any kind are allowed on the carpet. For the complete list of Hand Carry Guidelines.
• Warehouse freight is moved in first. Freight sent directly to the Show will be received on a first come, first served basis.
• All exhibitors and exhibitor-appointed contractor personnel must be badged. Badges are available for pick up during posted registration hours. We must receive your insurance certificate and all outstanding balances paid before any badges will be distributed. Badges are not transferable. Each exhibitor must pick up his/her own badge. See “Registration” tab for additional information. Temporary work passes will be available to "helpers" for scheduled move-in and move-out times only until registration opens. After registration has opened, we require that all exhibitors entering the show floor be badged.
• Exhibitors arriving after the posted set up times WILL NOT be allowed into the hall and must return the next morning. Those in the hall at the end of official posted time may remain to finish work in progress, but for security reasons, once you leave the hall, you cannot return.
• All exhibits must be fully installed by 9:00 AM on Saturday. Those exhibitors who have not arrived or made set up plans by this time will either have their booths erected by show management at prevailing rates, or the exhibit will be removed from the floor.
• Bring copies of your orders (labor, electrical, carpeting furniture, etc.) with you to the show to avoid discrepancies. Bring any billing issues to the attention of the vendor and Show Management immediately.
• Tables and chairs must not be removed from booths in which BEAUTY WEEKEND has placed them. If you ordered furniture, and none was delivered, notify the desk personnel at the Beauty Weekend Service Desk at once. Do not move the furniture from a neighboring booth into yours. If furniture was delivered to your booth but none was ordered, please notify the desk personnel at the Beauty Weekend Service Desk at once as you will be charged for furnishings. If you did not place a furniture order and “borrow” furniture from a neighboring booth, you will be charged for the furniture once it is in your booth.

Move-Out No exhibitor is permitted to dismantle a display before Saturday at 9:00 p.m. Dismantling of an exhibit prior to the close of the show at 9:00 p.m. will result in compromising the exhibitor's position in any future Events.

All exhibitors are responsible to complete a bill of lading and return it to the Beauty Weekend desk. The returning of crates and packing materials precedes the loading of outbound freight. All freight must be removed from the exhibit hall by 9:00 p.m. on Saturday. Freight arrangements must be made to comply with this deadline. Show Management will make shipping arrangements for any remaining freight, to be returned to the best available address on the official show carrier at prevailing rates.
