How to Get There

  • Air: DCA is the closest airport. IAD and BWI are viable with rail or rideshare connections
  • Metro and Rail: Green or Yellow Line to Mt Vernon Sq/7th St Convention Center. Amtrak and MARC or VRE to Union Station, then Metro
  • Rideshare and Taxi: Use signed pick up zones around the perimeter. Pad time during peak move in and move out
  • Freight: Book carriers to target times and follow marshaling instructions. Advance warehouse helps when timing is tight

Logistics

  • Advance warehouse improves on time delivery. Direct to show can work with reliable carriers that hit your window
  • Confirm electrical, data, and rigging drops before graphics go to print, and reconfirm during floor walk
  • 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

Pack - Do and Do Not

  • Bring: SEG fabric graphics, low residue gaffer tape, compliant cable covers, labeled small tools
  • Avoid: High residue adhesives, unsecured power strips, non rated ladders, and restricted items listed in your kit
  • Smart extras: Spare SEG beading, duplicate key graphics, USB and HDMI spares, printed service orders at the booth
