Questions
Check-In And Setup Times. Check in time is 4 pm.
When your exhibit room is actually available depends in large part when
the previous night's guest checks out.
Shipping To The Show. The hotel can accept UPS, FedEx,
and USPS mail shipments. Shipments on a pallet (truck
shipments) can be sent to the hotel, but you should make arrangements
with the hotel. See above for rates. The hotel reserves the right to charge
extra for
shipments that cause extra work. This would include shipments that are
labeled incorrectly, or unusually large or heavy. We can not be
responsible for lost or damaged shipments.
Shipping After The Show. Exhibitors will be
responsible for arranging outgoing shipments. There is a UPS and FedEx
shipping store close to the hotel. Boxes with either UPS or FedEx
shipping labels can be left with the front desk. You will be responsible
for arranging pick up with the carrier.
Extra Sleeping Rooms. If you need an extra sleeping
suite (in addition to your exhibit suite) you can book directly with the
hotel at the buyer's rate of $199 per night. Rooms booked through the
hotel are NOT assigned a location until check-in. To reserve a sleeping
room (not an exhibit room) through the hotel, contact Needlework
Retailer by email to receive the discount code.
Hilton HHonor Points. Unfortunately, exhibitors will
not earn Hilton HHonor points for their exhibit room. Buyers and
exhibitors can earn Hilton HHonor points for sleeping rooms (not exhibit
rooms) that are
booked at the special show rate directly with the hotel. Rooms that are
booked directly with the hotel are NOT assigned a location until
check-in.
