About the Charlotte Convention Center and your show freight

The Charlotte Convention Center is in uptown, where the streets are busy on weekdays and parking is limited. A delivery truck needs a firm plan for where it will unload, so read the loading instructions in your exhibitor manual closely.

Charlotte is within a day's reach of our Richmond base for many shipments, which helps exhibits that start in Virginia or the Mid-Atlantic. Freight from elsewhere moves on our nationwide network, and we confirm the timeline at the quote stage.

Advance warehouse or direct-to-show in Charlotte

If the exhibit ships from nearby, direct-to-show delivery can work well, because the truck is not far away and can be scheduled for a specific window. For a longer trip, the advance warehouse gives you a buffer in case of delays. In both cases, the exhibitor manual sets the cut-off dates and the labeling rules.

Charlotte also sits close to the North Carolina furniture markets, so freight that is not exhibit freight sometimes moves in the same trip. If you have showroom pieces to deliver, ask us about a second stop.

Planning tips for Charlotte shows

  • Confirm the unloading plan for uptown deliveries
  • Use direct-to-show for nearby exhibits with a firm window
  • Use the advance warehouse for longer trips with less schedule risk
  • Ask about a second stop for showroom pieces
