Rockwell Automation Fair 2026 takes place November 16–19 at the Thomas M. Menino Convention & Exhibition Center in Boston, Massachusetts. The event brings together manufacturers, engineers, technology providers, and industrial operations leaders to explore automation, robotics, digital manufacturing, industrial software, and connected production systems through technical sessions and interactive exhibits.
Shipping to Automation Fair can involve sensitive industrial electronics, programmable controllers, electrical enclosures, robotic systems, and interconnected demonstrations. The exhibition floor is scheduled for November 17–19, giving exhibitors a limited window to complete equipment installation and testing before visitors arrive. Freight plans should account for protective packaging, unloading requirements, electrical connections, and the time needed to configure functioning demonstrations.
Exhibitway coordinates trade show freight to Automation Fair, including direct-to-show deliveries, advance warehouse shipping when available, specialized equipment transportation, and expedited freight. Our team helps equipment manufacturers and exhibit houses coordinate shipments around event receiving requirements, installation schedules, and critical delivery windows while maintaining proactive communication.
For Automation Fair, we recommend planning shipments around the time needed to assemble, configure, and test your demonstration systems, not simply the exhibition opening date. Industrial robots, control cabinets, and interconnected production displays may require electrical setup, network connections, programming, and calibration before they're ready to operate.
Create a detailed inventory of each demonstration's components, including controllers, sensors, cables, mounting hardware, and spare parts. Clearly identify which components are essential to getting the system operational, and coordinate their arrival with your installation team. For sensitive electronics, use protective packaging and confirm any specialized handling requirements before dispatch.
