Show Freight

The General Service Contractor or freight handler for the event is responsible for all material handling services for all show-related freight and material consigned to arrive in accordance with your contractor’s schedule.

Show freight may not arrive on site until the first contracted day of move-in. The Moscone Center does not have shipping & receiving or storage for show-related shipments. Any items needing to be shipped in advance, should be shipped to the GSC’s advance warehouse.

Loading Docks

Loading docks and receiving areas are staffed and managed by your General Service Contractor. All dock activity should be coordinated through them, including POV (Personally Owned Vehicle) programs. See links below for more information.
