Exact WESA Trade Show order deadlines and move-in / move-out times are published only in the official WESA Trade 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: Aug 18, 2026 – Aug 21, 2026.
- Move-out / dismantle: starts right after the show closes.
