Freight Advisory:GES has the responsibility of receiving and handling all exhibit materials and empty crates for EXPO 2016. Access to loading docks is controlled by GES for a safe and efficient move-in and move-out.

Exhibitors may hand carry display materials, if the materials can be brought into the Hilton Tradeshow area in one trip, but exhibitors will not be able to use the freight docks unless their material is handled by GES. The use of dollies, flat trucks, and other mechanical equipment is not permitted by exhibitors. GES will not be responsible for any material they do not handle.

GES handling charges (drayage) are based on the weight of the freight. Shipments are billed by the hundred weight and rounded up to the nearest hundred. Please see the Material Handling form in the online GES kit at (website link to come) for detailed information and pricing.

• Freight deliveries sent directly to the Hilton will be received by GES on exhibitor move-in days only.• Freight deliveries sent directly to the Hilton are subject to GES freight handling charges regardless of theconsignee as GES is the official show contractor.• If your freight arrives at the Hilton prior to the published move-in dates, the facility will take possession of the item(s) and charges will be incurred from the facility in addition to GES material handling charges.• Advanced shipments should be sent and labeled as follows:

c/o GES, 2016 Gentlemen’s Club ExpoETS, (Exhibitor Name) / (Booth #), 3761 Louisa St. New Orleans La 70126
