Shipping & On-site Logistics
As you prepare for the event, please review the shipping and logistical information below to decide options will work best for you. Be sure to review all of this information to avoid surprises on-site.
Shipping Options
| 1) Ship in Advance to the Freeman Warehouse |
We strongly encourage all booths to ship to the Freeman Warehouse to ensure that your materials will be in your booth so you can begin installation as soon as you arrive!
Freeman will accept crated, boxed, or skidded materials beginning Friday, December 10, 2021 and will deliver the shipment to your booth.
All containers must be labeled as shown below. Warehouse materials are accepted at the warehouse Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00AM – 3:30PM.
To avoid additional after deadline charges, materials must arrive by January 04, 2022.
| 2) Send Shipments Direct to the Venue |
Freight will be received at the facility for booths 400 sq. ft. and larger beginning at 12:30 PM on Tuesday, January 11, 2022, and booths under 400 sq. ft. beginning Wednesday, January 12, 2022. Shipments arriving before the aforementioned date may be refused and incur additional charges.

| Labor Jurisdiction |
You may install and/or dismantle your exhibit display if one person, who is a full-time employee, can accomplish the task in an hour or less without the use of tools. An exhibitor may move the material that is hand carriable by one person in one trip, without the use of dollies, hand trucks or other mechanical equipment.
If your exhibit preparation, installation, or dismantling requires more than 1 hour, you must use union personnel supplied by the Official Decorating Contractor. As an exhibitor, when union labor is required, you may provide your company personnel to work along with a union installer in Southern California on a one-to-one basis. For more information, please refer to the Labor Jurisdiction document on the Shipping & On-site Logistics page. If you are hiring an Exhibitor Appointed Contractor, please complete the online EAC FORM
Please reference the Labor Jurisdiction document for complete details on labor regulations.
|
| Hand-Carry Policy/Drayage/Material Handling |
Exhibitors may hand-carry their own materials into the exhibit facility through the front doors only. Exhibitors WILL NOT be permitted to unload on the docks or front driveway. The front driveway is for passenger pickup/drop off only and is monitored by LBCC security staff. To adhere to the hand-carry policy, one person must be able to carry items in one trip. The use of dollies, flat trucks and other mechanical equipment is NOT permitted. If you will require labor for delivering your materials to your booth from the dock, you may hire union labor through Freeman. All packages are subject to inspection by facility personnel.
|
| Empty Stickers |
When your crates, cartons and other containers are empty, obtain EMPTY STICKERS from Freeman’s Service Desk. Use the stickers to mark your crates, cartons and containers with your company name and booth number. Leave the items in the aisle for pick up and storage. Labeled materials will be returned at the end of the show. Remove old empty stickers. Old stickers could result in empties being delivered to the wrong booth. Do not store anything in these crates or cartons. You will not be able to access them once they are removed to storage. |
| Dismantling |
No display material, in whole or in part, may be removed from the exhibit area prior to the close of the event at 2:00 PM on Saturday, January 15th. |
| Returning Your Freight |
If you have not done so in advance, you may make arrangements to have your exhibit returned by visiting the Exhibitor Service Desk area on site. Every outbound shipment will require a material handling agreement and labels which can be procured from Freeman.
All carriers must check-in no later than Sunday, January 16, 2022 at 10:00 AM. Drivers not checked in by this time will risk the possibility of their shipments going out on the house carrier at the exhibitor’s expense. Be sure your carrier knows the company name and booth number when planning for shipping your exhibit materials at the close of the show. All exhibitor materials must be removed from the exhibit facility by Sunday, January 16, 2022 at 12:00 PM.
