Huntington Place is a major convention and exhibition center on Detroit's riverfront, with five exhibit halls and more than 700,000 square feet of exhibition space. The venue hosts automotive, manufacturing, technology, and other large-scale industry events, accommodating everything from standard exhibit booths to heavy machinery and vehicle displays.

Freight deliveries require coordination with each event's general service contractor and assigned move-in schedule. Loading docks for Halls A–D are accessed from the Second and Congress Street area, while Hall E has separate access at river level. Huntington Place does not accept advance freight for storage, so early shipments should be arranged through the show's designated contractor when available.

Ways to Ship to Huntington Place

The right shipping strategy depends on when your freight is ready, what you’re moving, and how your show handles receiving. Exhibitway can coordinate the approach that best fits your schedule.

FROM OUR TEAM

Our Recommendation for Huntington Place

For Huntington Place, confirm your assigned exhibit hall before finalizing freight delivery instructions. The loading dock approach differs between Halls A–D and Hall E, and downtown truck routing deserves extra attention.

If you're shipping machinery, vehicles, or oversized equipment, coordinate dimensions, weight, unloading requirements, and move-in timing with the show's contractor well in advance. For heavy displays, verify floor-loading restrictions and any required approvals. Don't send freight early to the convention center itself; use an approved advance warehouse if your show offers one.

FAQ

Common questions, straight answers.

Where should exhibitors send freight for Huntington Place?

Freight shipments to Huntington Place should follow the delivery address and labeling instructions provided by the event's general service contractor. Loading dock access differs by exhibit hall, with Halls A–D generally served from Second and Congress Streets and Hall E from the river-level access area. Do not assume the venue's public address is the correct freight destination.

Does Huntington Place accept advance warehouse shipments?

No. Huntington Place does not have an advance freight warehouse and does not accept shipments for storage before the event. Exhibitors should arrange advance warehouse shipping through their show's designated general service contractor when that option is available.

Can exhibitors ship heavy machinery or vehicles to Huntington Place?

Yes. Huntington Place accommodates machinery, vehicles, and other large exhibits, subject to venue and event requirements. Heavy equipment exhibitors should confirm floor-loading limits, freight handling arrangements, loading dock access, and any necessary approvals before scheduling transportation.
