Start with Scheduling

All contractor and exhibitor freight deliveries must be scheduled in advance through the Javits Logistics and freight management platform.

Advance scheduling:

  • Assigns timed arrival windows
  • Reduces congestion at loading areas
  • Maintains dock flow during peak periods
  • Supports secure access control

Unscheduled freight may experience delays.

Move-In Procedures

Before arrival:

  • Confirm your assigned freight window
  • Coordinate with your General Service Contractor (GSC)
  • Ensure required insurance and bill of lading documents are approved.
  • Confirm labor requirements (if applicable)

Upon arrival:

  • Check in with the GSC at the events assigned storefront on 12th avenue.
  • Follow instructions from dock personnel
  • Remain within assigned unloading time

Preparation reduces wait time and protects event timelines.

Move-Out Procedures

Prior to dismantling:

  • Schedule outbound freight pick-up
  • Confirm carrier arrangements
  • Coordinate dismantling timelines with show management

All materials must be removed within your assigned timeframe.

Failure to schedule outbound freight in advance may result in storage or handling delays.
