Exhibitor Move-In
Exhibitor move-in for IPC APEX EXPO is targeted, meaning each exhibitor will be assigned a specific move-in date and time in which their shipments can arrive. Due to the high volume of exhibitor freight for this event, we use this systematic process for the receipt of freight and delivery to booths which is based on when IPC obtain access to the exhibit halls, the location of booths in the exhibit hall and on specific exhibitor needs. A scheduled target time means that your freight will begin to be unloaded at some point during your allotted time frame. Refer to the target move in plan for the day and time scheduled for your booth.
