Exhibitor Move In And Move Out Schedule
Sequence exhibitor arrivals, build activity and departures with this editable Exhibitor Move In And Move Out Schedule. After entering the show context in Event Setup, operations teams maintain Movement Schedule for access slots, build windows, deliveries and breakdown timing. The spreadsheet separates exhibitor movement coordination from a general load-in planner and from booth allocation. It is a manually maintained schedule, not an access-control or delivery booking system.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Using a generic load-in schedule for exhibitor movements — Use this schedule for exhibitor access, builds, deliveries and breakdown; retain general crew or production movements in their dedicated plan.
- Scheduling arrivals without departure windows — Record both move-in and move-out timing for each exhibitor.
- Ignoring delivery constraints — Check delivery activity against access slots and build windows before issuing instructions.
