The 2027 NAMM Show: Expanded Material Handling Package

We're making material handling easier, more predictable and more exhibitor-friendly.

Beginning with the 2027 NAMM Show, we are adding even more complimentary items to your existing material handling allowance. As a reminder, NAMM has always provided free material handling service as outlined below. But now there’s even more! 

What Continues to be Included?

1,000 lbs. of material handling for every 100 sq. ft. of paid exhibit space

  • 5' x 10' Booth = 500 lbs.
  • 10' x 10' Booth = 1,000 lbs.
  • 10' x 20' Booth = 2,000 lbs.
  • 20' x 20' Booth = 4,000 lbs.

This free service applies to freight shipped to the Advance Warehouse, Show Site or delivered by Privately Owned Vehicle (POV). 

What's New?

  • Warehouse Receiving Fees Eliminated
    Save even more time and money, and ship early so your freight is waiting for you in your booth when you and your labor arrive.
     
  • Overtime Material Handling Charges Eliminated
    Doesn’t matter when your shipment arrives; it’s still included in your allotment, and the price is the same once you surpass your allotment and pay per pound.
     
  • Special Handling Fees Eliminated
    No more added fees for mixed, loose, uncrated, oversized and non-stackable freight. It’s all included!
     
  • Freight Target Schedule Fees Eliminated
    Staying on target helps expedite the show move-in; however, if you’re off target, you won’t be charged a fee. You can also target delivery over the weekend!  

Simple, Predictable Pricing

Additional freight over your allowance is billed at $1.55 per pound. No more complete CRT calculations. Example: A 10' x 20' booth receives 2,000 lbs. complimentary with paid space. If your shipment weighs 2,500 lbs., the 500 lb. overage would be $775. 

Why We're Making This Change

  • Greater value
  • Easier budgeting
  • Simplified freight planning
  • More flexibility
  • Fewer unexpected on-site charges

This enhanced program makes exhibiting at The NAMM Show more predictable, cost-effective and easier to manage.
