How to Coordinate Booth Setup with Show Schedules and Union Labour

Trade show setup is not just about arriving and building your booth.

 

It involves:

• Scheduled load-in windows
• Union labor rules
• Venue restrictions
• Tight timelines

 

Without coordination, even a simple setup can become complicated.

 

Understanding Show Schedules

 

Every show has:

• Load-in times
• Setup windows
• Move-out deadlines

 

Missing these creates delays.
