4. Exhibitor Freight

For the delivery of booth materials and other items at Hall of Flowers, it is important to note that no vehicles will be able to park within the show footprint. Exhibitors will be provided with parking passes for the designated parking lot closest to the exhibit hall where your booth is located.

Hall of Flowers is offering Freight receiving for Arena Booths, Mini Arena Booths, & Outdoor Booths to aid Exhibitors in an efficient & pleasant set-up experience. Advance shipping is highly recommended.

Freight deliveries of booth materials will be accepted on the show site on Sunday, 3/16 and Monday, 3/17. All freight shipments must be palletized, and labeled with the exhibitor's name and booth number (please use the inbound shipping label provided below).

All freight shipments must be scheduled with show management by Wednesday, March 6th. This is crucial to ensure that deliveries are properly coordinated and to avoid confusion or delay in the delivery process.

Due to the absence of a loading dock on site, please ensure your shipping provider equips the delivery with a lift gate, pallet jack, or alternative method for rear truck access, enabling forklift assistance.
