It can be delivered to the Freeman Advance Warehouse, shipped directly to show site or delivered in a Privately-Owned Vehicle (POV) or a rental vehicle which is driven by your employee (not temporary labor) to receive the 500 lbs. free. Material Handling over and above the 500 lbs. or exhibitors with 450 square feet or more will be charged the material handling rate.

In order to qualify to hang a sign, your booth must be 20' x 20' or larger and may not be a linear booth. You must complete the Hanging Sign Design Notification Form and submit a rendering or digital photo of the sign showing all graphics, placement above booth, and dimensions, including width, height and circumference. Hanging signs may be hung at any height; however, the sign itself can be no more than 8' in height from top to bottom and must be finished on all sides. Freeman is required to hang all hanging signs and it is recommended that you ship in advance to ensure the sign is assembled and hung in a timely matter. Please note that Freeman costs for hanging a sign are incurred at both installation and dismantle so budget accordingly.

Yes. For your reference, we provide a Budget Calculator. This will help you decide which items you need for your exhibit and how to succeed at the Show. Then, go to the Exhibitor Services Manual and select the forms you need in order to complete your show plan.

Lead Retrieval or Lead Management is a system designed to help exhibitors quickly and easily capture and qualify leads on the show floor. Using lead retrieval enables you to qualify leads with follow-up action codes, eliminates hand-keying leads into your database for quicker lead follow-up and gives demographic information on attendees. CompuSystems offers an array of lead management systems – see http://www.compusystems.com/order for ordering and more information.

In compliance with the ADA, service animals—as defined by the ADA—are permitted at the Show. Other live animals, including comfort, emotional-support or therapy animals, pets and animals used for demonstrations of any kind are not allowed. Show Management reserves the right to prohibit service animals if they pose a threat or safety concern to anyone attending, exhibiting or working our event. The handler/owner of the service animal is responsible for the care and supervision of his or her animal. If the animal is not under control or is disruptive or not housebroken, Show Management may require it to be removed from the Show premises.

By April 25, exhibitors will receive an email with the date and time for their space selection. A SEMA Sales Representative will call the key contact to review the Show floorplan and select a booth. Following booth selection, the exhibiting company will receive an email confirmation with the agreed upon Show Section and booth number.
Following space selection, Exhibitors wishing to change their booth (location, size and/or configuration) following Space Selection must submit a "Change of Booth" form.

Effective one business day following Exhibitor's selection of booth space through August 2, Show Management shall retain 50% of rental cost of each space canceled. Beginning August 2, Show Management shall retain 100% of rental cost of each space canceled. Exhibitor Rules & Regulations
