Booth Details

Set-Up, Tear Down & Shipping Information:

Set-Up: Monday, June 15th, 12:00 PM–6:00 PM and Tuesday, June 16th, 7:00 AM–3:00 PM

NEW THIS YEAR!!!! Tradeshow Sneak Peek at 1:00 PM on Tuesday.
This will allow more time to talk with operators, start conversations early, keep the room open, and get punch cards stamped (yes, we’re even bringing back the punch cards!). Don’t worry — you do not have to be fully set up. We heard from vendors and operators that they wished they had more time to network with each other. Our hope with this sneak peek is to allow for exactly that.

Tear Down: Wednesday, June 17th, after the auction is finished, and Thursday, June 18th, from 7:00 AM–12:00 PM (must be completely moved out by 12:00 noon).  NOTE-all vendors are responsible for their own garbage & disposal.

The Crowne Plaza Milwaukee South will accept packages/shipments up to three days in advance of the event.

There is no fee to collect and/or store packages; however, due to limited storage space and other events moving in and out, early deliveries may be refused at the Crowne Plaza’s discretion.
