In an effort to improve the speed of move out, the rear marshalling yard/loading dock area will be blocked off on Sunday, April 8th for RED ZONE exhibitors only. All vehicles parking in the loading dock MUST have their vehicles removed by the end of the show on Saturday, April 7th. Any vehicles left in the loading dock will be subject to towing.
RED ZONE exhibitors must pick up a RED ZONE parking pass in the Show Office ON Saturday, April 7 to park in the marshalling yard on Sunday, April 8th. RED ZONE exhibitors will be verified by Show Mgmt. One parking spot is allowed per exhibitor and is first come, first serve basis.
Because multiple exhibitors are trying to move-out at one time, exhibitors ARE NOT guaranteed to be able to drive onto the show floor during the Red Zone move-out. We make every effort to make this possible, but it cannot be guaranteed. Please plan accordingly and bring carts or dollies for move-out.
