Clean Floor Policy

In an effort to ensure a successful show opening for all exhibitors at the 2025 SHOT Show, we are implementing the Clear Floor Policy. If you are working with an exhibit hours, please discuss with them in advance as this may affect their work schedule and we want to avoid any unanticipated issues on-site.

Due to the size of the show and limited dock space at The Venetian Expo, it is necessary to coordinate the removal of empty crates in accordance with the target time schedule in order to allow sufficient time for:

  • Each exhibitor the time to set up their booths.
  • Transporting of empty crates to a remote site.
  • Freeman to complete the laying of the aisle carpet and the overall cleaning of the exhibit hall.

All crates are to be tagged and ready for removal from the exhibit floor no later than the dates and times listed below. All crates not marked empty and made available for removal by the inidated dates and times will be subject to removal or movement by Freeman at the exhibitor’s expense.
