SER exposition services is a full service general service contractor for trade shows, conventions and corporate events. We handle all aspects of an event including floor plan design, trade show decorating, custom design structures, graphic design services & production, custom carpet & furniture rentals, staging, equipment rentals, material handling services and more.

There are two ways you may place an order for an upcoming show. Our website has the Exhibitor Services Manual available for each upcoming event. You may print the required forms and mail or fax the forms with payment to SER exposition services. You may also order equipment and services using our online ordering section of the website.

An Exhibitor Services Manual is an event specific document including all the information you may need such as show hours, show colors, exhibitor move-in and move-out times, as well as policies and procedures of the facility.
In addition, many services are offered, such as material handling services, additional furniture and accessories for your booth, custom signs and banners, installation and dismantle labor, and much more. In most circumstances, you will also find forms to order electrical, telephone and other utilities directly from the facility.
Please keep this manual with you during the show and always have a copy of what you ordered when you're at show site.

Drayage (also known as Material Handling) is the delivery of exhibit materials from the loading dock to your assigned booth space, removing and storing empty crates or boxes, returning crates or boxes at the end of the show for re-packing, and delivering materials back to the loading dock for carrier pick up. There is a charge for drayage that is incurred by shipping directly to the facility or to our advance warehouse. Please see the Exhibitor Services Manual for rates.

Direct shipping is any shipment that is shipped directly to the show site/facility. If shipping direct, your shipment must arrive on the day of exhibitor move-in. If the shipment arrives prior to exhibitor move-in, the facility may refuse your shipment.
Please note that each event and facility has different rules regarding direct shipments, including not accepting any shipments. Refer to your Material Handling Information/Rate Schedule in the Exhibitor Services Manual for specific event instructions.

Advanced shipping is any shipment that is sent to the SER exposition services designated warehouse in advance of the event. When shipping in advance, the shipment should not arrive more than thirty (30) days prior to the exhibitor move-in date, or less than seven (7) days prior to the exhibitor move-in date. If the freight arrives in our advance warehouse within seven (7) days of the exhibitor move-in date, SER exposition services will impose a late delivery fee and other charges, if applicable.

A CWT is a unit of measure equalling 100lbs. Example 2500lbs=25cwts.

Keep in mind all weights are rounded to the next cwt. Other overtime and special handling charges may apply depending on the show dates and delivery methods.

If you are shipping directly to the show (Direct Shipping), your shipment can only arrive on the day of exhibitor move-in; if it arrives before that day, the facility may refuse your shipment.

If your shipment is received within seven (7) days of the exhibitor move-in date, you will incur a late delivery fee and other charges, if applicable.

If you miss the advance shipping deadline, you have two options; first, you may still ship to the advance warehouse but you will incur late charges and if applicable other charges.
