If you plan to ship exhibit materials to the Convention, you'll need the appropriate address (advance warehouse or direct on-site), deadlines, and drayage rates. Make sure get the correct rates BEFORE you ship. Shipping costs can be  expensive. All warehouse shipments must arrive by November 7, 2007.

All Advance Warehouse shipments should be addressed as follows:

I missed the advance warehouse shipping date, what do I do?
