Load in & load out will happen through the MARENGO LOADING DOCK on Marengo Ave.
There is a ramp that will lead you straight down to the loading dock. You will have 30 minutes of free parking in the loading dock to unload your vehicle. Afterwards, you will need to move your vehicle, and there is parking at the convention center as well as the surrounding areas.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you need it, you must bring your own hand cart/dolly to move your products into the show floor as the convention center does not have carts available for use. If you do need a cart on-site, you will have to rent one from Show Ready.
