READ BEFORE YOU PACK UP

Thank You For Your Support Of Grid Edge 2023!

It has been a pleasure working with you at the 2023 IEEE PES Grid Edge Conference & Exposition, in San Diego, CA. Below are a few items to assist you during move-out and following the show.

Move-Out Key Times

3:00 PM - Thurs., 13 April Move-out will begin when the Show Floor closes. NOT BEFORE!
8:00 AM - Fri., 14 April Carriers should check in no later than 8 AM.
10:00 AM - Fri., 14 April All exhibitor material MUST BE REMOVED from the facility.

Move-Out Reminders

If you rented an XPress Leads Lead Retrieval Unit, return it to the Service Desk (Back of Hall) no later than 4:00 PM Thursday.
Any exhibitors requiring forklifts, display labor, boom lifts or other special handling equipment should contact Freeman prior to the close of the show.
Do not leave any personal items in your booth including laptops, electronic equipment, or valuables. Exhibitors are responsible for all contents within their booth.

To Aid In Orderly & Timely Move-Out

All aisles remain clear of exhibit material so that empty containers can be returned.
All freight-free aisles must be kept clear during move-out.
Freeman will remove the aisle carpet first and then freight doors will open for empty containers to be returned (starting about 4:00 PM).
Freeman anticipates having all empties returned by 8:00 PM Thursday.

Material Handling Agreement

All exhibit material leaving the show floor (from the docks) will require a Material Handling Agreement.
This can be prepared for you at the Service Desk (back of the Exhibit Hall).
Do not leave your Material Handling Agreement with your equipment at your booth. If you leave the Material Handling Agreement in your booth with your freight, we will not know that your freight is ready to be loaded out.
Return the ‘completed’ Agreement to the Service Desk once materials are packed and ready to be shipped, no later than 10:00 AM on Friday, 14 April.
