Exhibiting in Cincinnati: what to know

What we check for every Cincinnati show, with sources. We handle all of it as part of the all-in price.

How drayage is billed

Drayage (material handling) is billed per hundredweight (cwt = 100 lb), rounded up to the next 100 lb, usually with a 200 lb (2 cwt) minimum per shipment; it covers moving freight from dock or warehouse to the booth, storing empty crates, and returning it to the dock after the show. Cost = rate x (weight / 100). Special handling (uncrated, loose, ground unload) and overtime cost more; late arrivals after the warehouse deadline get a surcharge. Some contractors (Freeman, GES Material Handling+) now bill per pound instead of per cwt.

Labor rules

  • DECC ordering kit (rev. June 2019): labor billed hourly at $90 advance rate / $125 floor rate; advance rate needs order 21+ days before move-in; labor required if power goes to more than one spot in the booth source

Drayage (moving your freight to the booth)

  • NPTC 2021 at DECC: shipments billed by weight rounded up to the next 100 lb (cwt), 200 lb minimum on warehouse shipments, subject to reweigh source
  • NPTC 2021: leftover crates, pallets, carpet and padding left as trash are disposed of with a handling fee plus disposal fee source

Shipping deadlines

  • DECC planning guide: crates and packing materials may be stored on the dock in trailers or in pre-approved interior dock spots source

Electrical and utilities

  • DECC sells booth electrical through its own ordering kit; questions on power specs go to DECC Exhibitor Services source

Rules and rates change by show. Your show's exhibitor kit is the final word; we check it for you before we quote.
