Halls AB at The Toronto Congress Centre are equipped with 15 loading docks. The operation of the loading bay’s overhead doors is restricted to the Dock Manager. The Dock Manager carries complete authority regarding the operation of the docking facilities and dock area. The Dock Manager’s decision is final. Any damage caused as a result of a person other than the Dock Manager operating the overhead doors will be liable for those damages.
Once unloaded ALL vehicles must be removed immediately. Drivers of vehicles must stand by vehicles at all times. No wheeled vehicles, whether powered or not, are to be driven in the Toronto Congress Centre without authorization.
Vehicles parked in non-designated areas or in designated fire routes will be tagged and/or towed at the exhibitor’s expense.
The Ontario Ministry of Labour has determined that during move-in and move-out exhibit halls, loading dock areas and service areas are considered “construction” work areas and as such all workers must wear protective footwear as stipulated in the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act.

ADVANCED DELIVERIES
The Toronto Congress Centre cannot accept deliveries prior to the beginning of move-in on Friday, April 8, 2022. Deliveries arriving before that time will be returned to exhibitors at their expense. Stronco Logistics Service offers Exhibitors who wish to pre-deliver their exhibit materials an Advance Receiving service. To order this service, contact STRONCO exhibitorservices@stronco.com
All deliveries, regardless of load size or unloading time must be brought into the Toronto Congress Centre via the designated move-in doors from the loading docks on the west side of the building. No goods or dollies may be passed through any glass or main doors not authorized by the Toronto Congress Centre.
MOVE IN FORM
STRONCO will issue a move-in schedule to facilitate the orderly move-in of Exhibitors. It is important that each exhibitor adhere to the move-in schedule. Loads not arriving during their scheduled time will be turned away until all scheduled loads are completed.
All Exhibitors are required to complete the EXHIBITOR MOVE-IN FORM. The move-in schedule will be established by Stronco Show Services in conjunction with Show Management, taking into consideration Exhibitor requirements, size, booth location and time preferences. The move-in schedule and pertinent information will be emailed to Exhibitors in March.
Exhibitors who do not require off-loading assistance and/or access to the loading docks or pick up truck docks must still submit the EXHIBITOR MOVE-IN FORM and indicate they do not require loading dock assistance. These Exhibitors will park in the parking lot and off load their exhibit materials on their own.
Deadline is March 17th.
DRAYAGE
Show Management provides complimentary drayage (materials handling) for exhibitors. This includes all the equipment and labour necessary to transport your exhibit from the loading bays and overhead doors to the booth site as quickly and efficiently as possible.
The materials handling crew will only load/unload exhibit material. They will not assist with other special services unless contracted to do so by the Exhibitor. Floor management requires that a representative of each company be on-site during the move-in for spotting of the freight when it is delivered to the booth. Exhibitors that require a forklift to come back to their booth to reposition freight will be charged directly for this time.
Any drayage that is required outside of the scheduled move-in or move-out times are the financial responsibility of the Exhibitor. Drayage includes: dollies, pump trucks and forklift with maximum capacity of 5000 lbs. per unit/item. Exhibitors requiring special handling/equipment beyond that provided by Show Management will be responsible for all fees incurred.
A limited number of hand carts will be available during move-in and move-out on a first-come, first-served basis. Exhibitors borrowing hand carts may need to leave a security deposit in the form of a credit card or driver’s license. When the hand cart is returned, the security deposit is given back.
ON-SITE STORAGE
Show Management provides complimentary moving of crates and packing materials to and from the storage area. This service is complimentary only if materials are stored prior to 6:00 pm on Saturday, April 9. After this time, a charge will be levied for this service.
All materials must be clearly marked with labels so that they may be properly identified for return to the booth at the end of the show. Labels will be available at the service desk in the loading dock area.
PARKING
The Toronto Congress Centre has free parking on outdoor lots. Parking attendants will direct traffic and maximize lot capacities.
NO overnight parking permitted!
Vehicles parked in non-designated areas or in designated fire routes will be tagged and/or towed at the exhibitor’s expense.
