How to Get There
- Air: John Glenn Columbus International CMH to the convention center is about 12–20 minutes off peak by rideshare or taxi
- Transit: COTA bus service and CBUS circulator connect Short North, Arena District, and Downtown
- Rideshare and Taxi: Use signed pick up zones on N High St and Nationwide Blvd; buffer time during peak move in and move out
- Freight: Book carriers to assigned target times and follow marshaling instructions in your exhibitor kit; advance warehouse helps when timing is tight

- POV and hand carry rules vary by event; check caps and bring compliant carts
- Submit EAC forms and insurance early if using third party labor
