Planning freight for a New Orleans trade show? Find venue information, upcoming events, official resources, and shipping guidance for the Morial Convention Center.
The New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center is a large riverfront exhibition venue serving national conventions, association meetings, and trade shows. Its long exhibit-hall footprint supports events with substantial booth freight, equipment, and contractor activity.
The convention center directs exhibitors to use the freight instructions provided for their specific event. Event freight is managed through the show’s general contractor, and marshaling locations can vary by contractor. The venue’s general shipping and receiving area is not a substitute for the address provided in an exhibitor kit.
Before shipping, confirm the event’s designated freight address, general contractor, marshaling instructions, receiving dates, and move-in schedule. This is particularly important for direct-to-show deliveries, where the correct check-in location is part of the delivery plan.
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.
For New Orleans, treat the general contractor’s freight instructions as essential dispatch paperwork. Marshaling and check-in locations can vary by event, so confirm them before the truck reaches the city. For direct-to-show freight, build enough schedule margin for check-in and the show’s move-in process.
