Usually shipments received before or after this date are assessed a penalty charge. For the move-in time that applies to your specific booth please review the Color Coded Targeted Move-In Floor-Plan in the Shipping/Material Handling section of the service kit (available online June 2009). The NACS Show exhibit hall closes at 3:00pm on Friday, October 23. For the safety of attendees, booth dismantling may not begin until 3:15pm. Exhibitors are reminded that it is against Exposition Rules and Regulations to move-out any display equipment or materials until the published move-out time.
