Overview of SEMA Freight Strategy

The SEMA freight strategy involves choosing the right shipping method for your exhibit materials. Both options, advance warehouse and direct-to-show, offer unique advantages. As a U.S.-based company with workshops in Los Angeles, Chicago, Las Vegas, and Orlando, we have deep experience in all major U.S. convention centers.

Advance Warehouse Shipping

Shipping to an advance warehouse allows exhibitors to send their materials ahead of time, ensuring they are organized and ready for setup. This method enables fast setup upon arrival, minimizing the chances of delays during the show.

Direct-to-Show Shipping

Contrarily, direct-to-show shipping involves sending your materials directly to the venue. This approach can be expedient, but it requires precise timing. In the bustling environment of the SEMA Show, this strategy demands meticulous planning.

Savings on Booth Setup

Using aluminum-based modular booth systems can provide great savings in time, labor, and logistics. These systems offer fast setups with minimal handling fees and eliminate the need for costly materials like wood.
