NADA Show union labor rules in Orlando

Electrical, rigging, forklift and material handling may still be venue-controlled, so Orange County Convention Center jurisdictions must be verified in the official NADA Show exhibitor manual / service kit.
NADA Show exhibitor deadlines & move-in schedule
Exact NADA Show order deadlines and move-in / move-out times are published only in the official NADA Show exhibitor manual / service kit. As a general planning guide, most U.S. shows follow this pattern:
- Discount / advance-order deadline: typically about 4–6 weeks before opening — ordering early usually saves ~25–40%.
- Advance warehouse / freight deadline: usually about 2–4 weeks before opening.
- Exhibitor move-in / setup: commonly begins 1–3 days before the show opens (large islands and hanging-sign booths earlier).
- Show dates: Feb 17, 2027 – Feb 20, 2027.
- Move-out / dismantle: starts right after the show closes.
These are general estimates, not official NADA Show dates. Verify every deadline and move-in/move-out time against the official NADA Show exhibitor manual / service kit.
