• Exhibitor Move-In Days have been Reduced: There’s a shorter window for moving in this year. Two move-in days have been eliminated.  Please pay special attention to your targeted move-in time. If it needs to be adjusted, you can fill out the target change request form to see if you are approved for additional time. Move-in for JCK exhibitors starts on Monday, May 29. Please refer to the quick facts for additional move-in/out details and the target plans for your targeted timing.
• Material Handling Fees: JCK has been notified that, due to inflation and move-in dates, material handling fees will be higher than usual per pound.  We are giving you this heads-up in the hopes you can work with your EDC’s and/or your staff to reduce the amount of weight you bring in as much as possible if you want to keep your fees lower.

FREEMAN is the Official General Contractor for JCK and will maintain an Exhibitor Service Center during set-up, show days, and dismantling.  All other official show contractors will also be set up in this area as well.  All inquiries regarding booth services and orders should be made at the Exhibitor Service Center, including booth furnishings, labor, freight, utilities, and special show services.

NOTICE TO EXHIBITORS REGARDING NON-OFFICIAL CONTRACTORS

The companies listed below have been appointed as the only Official Contractors providing the stated services for this event.  Show Management carefully considers the selection of Official Contractors based on quality of service, variety of products, price, and reputation. Since these contractors frequently work on more than one show with us, they value the business of our customers and provide quality products and services.

Some companies may misrepresent themselves as being an official contractor so PLEASE be sure to check the list in the exhibitor manual or give us a call.   

Things to watch for if you are considering the services of a non-official contractor are hidden charges for material handling, labor, and shipping that you might not pay otherwise (for example on carpet rental), control over delivery time, availability during move-in and leverage if something goes wrong.   

Also be advised that non-official contractors will need to abide by the Exhibitor Appointed Contractor procedures, provide insurance certificates, etc. in order to gain access to the Show Floor.
