Shipping & Move-in

Freight can be shipped to the Freeman warehouse beginning March 31, 2025. Any material arriving after April 22, 2025 will be received at the warehouse with an additional after deadline charge.

If you are using your own carrier for return shipping after the show, please note that the return carrier will need to pick up from the show site. In the event your selected carrier fails to show on final move-out day, Freeman reserves the right to re-route your freight onto another carrier at the exhibitor's expense. See the Freeman Quick Facts for more information.


Please note that any exhibitors who ship their materials will be subject to Material Handling charges. Please see Freeman Online Exhibitor Kit for more information.

Alternatively, exhibitors may carry in their own booth materials, provided they are able to hand carry without the use of any mechanical equipment. See Union Jurisdictions and Freeman Hand Carry Information.

Scam Alert

Attendee List Sales

IFMA is the only authorized source for attendee lists. If anyone else contacts you with list offers, be aware that the data they claim to have is fraudulent. Please be aware that these scammers are fraudulent and these are not legitimate offers. Reach out to expoadv@ifma.org to confirm legitimacy of any communication you may receive.

Hotel Poaching Advisory

Attendees and exhibitors may be subjected to inappropriate solicitation from hotels or third-party housing agencies not affiliated with IFMA’s Facility Fusion.



Poachers may offer a lower hotel rate than the rates offered in our official block. Consequently, the reserved rooms may be of significantly lower quality, cancellation policies are often intolerant, and you do not have the support of IFMA’s housing agent should you need assistance with your reservation.

IFMA goes to great lengths to ensure that every aspect of your Facility Fusion experience is of the highest quality and value. Poachers do not have your best interests in mind, nor are they committed to providing a high level of customer service.
