Vendor Schedule & Loading Instructions

Upon arrival at Gas South Convention Center: Check in with a Joelanta representative to ensure loading dock is available. Loading in or out of any merchandise or equipment is only allowed by the Convention Center via the loading dock. We are not permitted to load any merchandise or equipment in or out through the front of the convention center.

​

Once granted access to the loading dock, vendors are to unload merchandise and equipment in a timely manner to their designated booth space(s). Before beginning booth set up, vendors are required to move their vehicle(s) to the parking deck (deck 1) to allow other vendors access to the loading dock. The convention center is fully booked for the weekend and access to the loading dock is limited to an allotted number of vendors at one time. Vendors staying at the event sponsored hotel may choose to utilize the hotel parking lot instead of the parking deck.
