Move In Information

The CPMA Trade Show is a targeted show, which means all exhibitors using the loading docks must arrive during their designated move-in slot to have their freight unloaded.

Exhibitors using the loading docks

To ensure a safe and efficient move-in process, a colour-coded move-in floor plan
for freight arrivals has been designed to create a controlled environment on the Trade Show floor. If you are using the loading docks, you must have your carrier or trucks arrive during your scheduled move in time and communicate any difficulties well in advance. If you miss your scheduled move-in time, you must reschedule or be prepared to wait.

All vehicles must report to the marshalling yard at 100/120 Cherry Street prior to accessing the loading docks. More information on directions and marshalling yard procedures can be found in the MTCC move-in bulletin.


Move-out begins Thursday, May 11th at 4:30 after show close. Empty containers will be returned starting at 5:30pm after the aisle carpet removal. More information on move-out procedures can be found here.

Exhibitors not using the loading docks

Exhibitors who do not require the loading docks may move in at any time during the hours specified below. If you have ordered carpet or furnishings from GES, these will be set-up in your booth prior to your arrival according to your scheduled move-in time on the floor plan. Materials brought through the front of the exhibit hall must be a small quantity/ size that the exhibitor can carry in by hand – no dollies or carts allowed. All other items must go through the loading docks.

Exhibitor Move-In Hours are as follows:

Monday, May 8, 2017: 8:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. (freight as per targeted move-in schedule)

Hard hats, harnesses, fall protection, gloves and safety eyewear must be worn when warranted by safety considerations.
