IMPORTANT OUTBOUND INFORMATION: All carriers and exhibitors with company trucks/trailers not utilizing the cartload service for the outbound, must sign-in at the Marshaling Yard to receive a driver number and be dispatched to the convention center from there. Due to time and space restriction during the break of the event, we can not accommodate multiple trucks at the same time. For any exhibitors on the show floor that are also the driver at the end of the event, visit the AES Exhibitor Service Desk for sign-in instructions. Please read the Material Handling Information Kit for the address and times.

AES will begin returning empty containers after the aisle carpet has been removed or floor protection is laid in the exhibit hall.
