Target Move-in

NADA is a targeted move-in show. Your target move-in date is the date in which you as an exhibitor are permitted into your booth space and can begin constructing your exhibit. Additionally, if you are shipping any booth materials in advance of your arrival, Freeman services will have brought those items into your space by your target move-in date.

However, to ensure your shipped items arrive at your booth by your target move-in date, you MUST make use of Freeman’s Advance Warehouse shipping labels when preparing your shipment. To ensure proper delivery, be sure to clearly write your company name, booth number and label each piece of your shipment on each label. Additionally, be sure a Freeman shipping label is on each side of each container and is well affixed to each side. Please be aware, the final date that Freeman will accept shipments to their advance warehouse is January 16, 2023.

If your shipment won’t be ready in order to arrive by January 16th, that’s okay, you can also ship directly to Show Site. The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center will accept direct-to-show shipments starting on January 23, 2023. If shipping directly to your booth, please follow the same instructions as above, but you MUST use Show Site shipping labels. Please be aware, if shipping direct-to-show, Freeman cannot guarantee your shipment will be placed in your booth by your move-in date. As a reminder, all exhibit hall booths must be set by Thursday, January 26 at 5pm.

Scam Alerts

NADA has contracted with Maritz (formerly Experient) to be the official housing company for the NADA Show 2023. Maritz is the only company that can provide special exhibitor housing rates negotiated by NADA at official NADA hotels. Other housing companies or travel agencies may offer to book your guest rooms through their company during the NADA Show 2023 but they are not affiliated with or otherwise connected to NADA. Beware of scammers!

NADA Exhibitors are also frequently targeted by companies unaffiliated with NADA, offering attendee lists from the "NADA Show 2023" and/or variations on the NADA name or logo. Please be aware that these companies have nothing to do with NADA or the NADA Show. The attendee mailing lists for the show are only available directly from NADA and all confirmed exhibitors have access to those lists. Beware of scammers!

Be aware of email or other communications from vendors and contractors offering assistance in the host city. These communications may wrongly suggest that the company is endorsed by or connected with NADA. Please use caution when dealing with solicitations from companies that are not on the list of Official NADA Contractors.
