Service Contractor
GES Exposition Services has been selected as the official service
contractor for the Minnesota Education Job Fair. GES’s Customer
Service Representative for our event is Drew Hayes. He can be reached
at 763.488.5339 to answer questions about material handling and freight.
Shipping Materials Prior to the Fair
Any carrier can be used to ship materials prior to the fair but it is
strongly discouraged from shipping directly to the Minneapolis Convention
Center since they will only accept freight during the event move in on
Monday, April 19. If you are using GES to ship your display or
materials, freight labels are posted on the job fair website as well as a
bill of lading.
- Direct shipments to the Convention Center will be accepted ONLY
during exhibitor move-in hours which is Monday, April 19.
- It is highly recommended that advance shipments be directed to the
GES warehouse.
- Advance shipments will be accepted at the GES warehouse up to 30
days prior to the fair.
- All shipments received at the warehouse after March 22, 2010 are
subject to additional late shipment charges.
- Advance shipments must be sent pre-paid; collect shipments will be
refused.
- Advance shipments will be delivered to your exhibit booth prior to
the start of the fair.
- Material handling rates and more detailed information about shipping
and material handling are located on the website.
- The Estimated Material Handling Order Form and the payment and
credit charge authorization must be completed and faxed to GES at the
time you ship your display.
Shipping Materials After the Fair
A GES Service Representative will be available during the fair to
facilitate shipment of materials back to your organization.
- An Outbound Bill of Lading must be completed and turned in at the
GES Service Desk for all outbound shipments. Do not leave the bill of
lading in your booth.
- A credit card is required for all shipping services; a form will be
available at the GES Service Desk.
