BRINGING GEAR TO THE VENUE 

A. FOR CANADIAN COMPANIES

  1. Gear will have to be moved inside the venue on the morning of the show between 7.45 and 10.30 am.
    7.45 am for Moog Audio
    8.45 am for companies with 2 tables

  2. Cars can’t reach the venue but they can get very close to it. You should plan to drop off the gear at the corner of Clark and St. Catherine and move it with hand trucks to the venue, it’s just 25-30 meters away – see image below.

The building is the one on the square on the corner of St Catherine West and Rue Clark.

B. FOR U.S. COMPANIES THAT ARE SHIPPING STUFF

Please ship your material to the address below well in advance (I’d say asap or AT LEAST three weeks before the show). Shipments are randomly selected for inspection at the border and if you are unlucky processing can take over a week.

ATTENTION: please make sure you compile the necessary documentation specifying that in the shipment there are display samples for an industry event that will return to the US after the event is over. If I get charged taxes I’ll forward the bill to your company, but you should be able to get the money back once you cross the border again.
