Conference FAQ

I am a Sponsor what do I need to know about shipping?

Shipping Instructions

Very Important:
We use a drayage company, Convention Solutions + Innovation (CS+I), for all shipments as the venue does not have shipping/receiving. Please follow precise instructions to ensure your packages arrive properly, on time, and with no surcharges.  
You will receive a welcome email from CS+I that includes directions and links to access the event page portal, the exhibitor kit, and to place your material-handling order. Once you receive the email from CS+I, you can set up your account and log in here.

Shipments In: 
Plan to have your shipment arrive between September 14 – October 23. There is a 30% surcharge over standard pricing if your shipment arrives after October 23

Fees & CC Authorization: 
Once you have access to the online portal fill out the order summary & payment authorization form for shipping and material handling. 

All shipments must be labeled as follows:
Company Name
NPLA Conference 2026
c/o Convention Solutions + Innovation
102 W. Watkins St., Suite 100
Phoenix, Arizona 85003

All packages should be numbered (i.e. 1 of 5, 2 of 5, etc.)

Booth numbers are “TBD” and will be provided by us to CS+I closer to the event. 
 
Bring Your Tracking Information with You:
In the event there is a problem locating your packages on site, it is imperative that you have this information on hand. CS+I will not be able to assist you without a confirmation of delivery. We strongly recommend you monitor the status of your shipment along its route to avoid any surprises.

Collecting Your Shipped Items:
All properly labeled shipments will be automatically brought to your booth in the Palomino Ballroom on Monday, October 26th, for setup prior to 12:00 pm. Packages not properly labeled will result in delays.

Shipment Out:
Outbound shipping is not an automatic process. Every outbound shipment will require a Material Handling Agreement and labels. CS+I will prepare these labels for you in advance. To take advantage of this free service, please complete and return the form prior to event move-in. Do not leave the outbound Bill of Lading at your booth; complete it and turn it in to the CS+I service desk within the exhibitor area. 

If you are using outside services such as FedEx or UPS, the carriers do not automatically pick up from the ballroom; you must bring it to the on-site FedEx Business Center and ship it. There are handling fees based on weight and the number of packages. Please call them directly at (480) 502-7505 with any questions you may have.
