to be in a convention center, we are required to use the convention

are different and not affiliated with the hotel even though
the hotel is connected to the convention center. Please note: When you ship with Freeman the boxes will be delivered to your booth. If you choose to ship directly to the hotel we have no way to track or locate the packages, you will have to be responsible for locating your package and take it to your booth. |
