Your Onsite Guide to The Buildings Show 2023

On this page we will cover everything you need to know about The Buildings Show including:

1. The Buildings Show will close at 1PM on Friday. It is imperative that exhibitors do NOT begin packing up booth materials until you hear the show close overhead announcement at 1PM.
2. There is NO Holding Lot for The Buildings Show move-out. Instead, if you require access to the loading docks, please make a booking on Voyage Control. Vehicles will only be accepted at the truck route entrance for pre-booked Voyage Control time slots. Once your exhibit is packed, ready and you have a Voyage Control time slot, please load your materials as quickly as possible when your vehicle arrives to make room for other exhibitors.
3. Each exhibitor must adhere to their allocated Voyage Control arrival time slot to load their vehicles which will be monitored by the Security Staff.
4. All materials being taken through the Service Elevator to the parking garage must be hand carried or on a dolly. Only hand carry or small 2 wheel dollies are allowed in the main foyer entrance. Building materials are not allowed on the escalators. Drivers picking up curbside MUST remain with their vehicles AT ALL TIMES and load immediately or the vehicle will be flagged and towed.
   
5. If you need to adjust your move-out on site, login to the Voyage Control system and edit your existing booking to a time that you prefer OR visit the Voyage Control desk (from 11am) at the south end of aisle 1300 to check for an alternate time slot. Vehicles will only be permitted to enter the truck route entrance if the booth is packed up and ready to be loaded. The desk will open as of 11:00am Friday morning.
