MAJOR SAN FRANCISCO VENUES WE SERVE
Convention Centers & Dock Logistics
- Moscone Center (Moscone North, South & West) (747 Howard St, San Francisco, CA 94103): Hosts RSA Conference, GDC (Game Developers Conference), TechCrunch Disrupt, Snowflake Summit, Databricks Data + AI Summit & Dreamforce.
FREIGHT, DRAYAGE & UNION RULES
How to Save 40%–50% Exhibiting in San Francisco
- Direct Transit from Our Southern California Plant: Direct Overnight I-5 California Corridor (~6 Hours from Our Southern California Plant)
- Local Union & Setup Rules: Moscone Center has some of the highest drayage (CWT) and union labor rates on the West Coast due to underground Howard Street loading docks. Using NXT Stage lightweight aluminum and SIP wall systems with flush 55"–75" LED monitor mounts dramatically lowers your Freeman/GES material handling invoice.
- Zero Middleman Markup: We fabricate, pre-stage, and test every 10x10, 10x20, 20x20, and custom island booth inside our own Southern California workshop before shipping.
