Exhibitor Targeted Move-In Schedule
EWPTE is a targeted move-in, meaning each exhibitor is assigned a specific move-in date and time in which their shipments can arrive. Due to the volume of exhibitor freight for this event, we’re using this systematic process for the receipt of freight and delivery to booths which is based on when WHMA/IPC obtains access to the exhibit halls. A scheduled target time means that your freight will begin to be unloaded at some point during your allotted time frame.
Tips for Managing your Targeted Move-in
- The best way to ensure your freight will be delivered to your booth during your scheduled time is to ship your freight to the Advance Warehouse.
- Machinery, uncrated items, oversized crates, and single pieces over the weight of 5,000 lbs. cannot be accepted at the advance warehouse and should be shipped directly to show site.
- All trucks delivering shipments to show site must arrive at the marshaling yard 2 hours prior to the start of the target time. Trucks missing their target time will be unloaded on a first come, first serve basis after all the trucks have unloaded during the allotted target time
- Do not schedule installation labor until after your scheduled target time.
Special Material Handling Rates for Machinery
Due to the heavy equipment on display at EWPTE, we have partnered with Shepard Exposition Services to offer a significant material handling discount for machinery. In order to take advantage of this discount, be sure you do the following:
- Make sure machinery crates and/or skids a labeled with designated machinery label
- Use the special machinery material handling form
- Provide a copy of a certified weight ticket for your entire shipment
- Ensure your shipment arrives per your target move assigned time slot
- Review the machinery rate form in the exhibitor manual for additional details
Be sure Your Shipment Arrives on Time!
All trucks delivering shipments to show site must arrive at the marshaling yard 2 hours prior to the start of the target time. Trucks missing their target time will be unloaded on a first come, first serve basis after all the trucks have unloaded during the allotted target time and a surcharge will apply.
Unloading Privately Owned Vehicles (POVs)

It is Shepard’s responsibility to manage the docks and schedule vehicles for the smooth and efficient move-in and move out of the exhibition. Exhibitors may unload privately owned vehicles providing they meet the following criteria:
