Drayage:

When determining whether to participate in this event, it is important to note that Books Gowns & Crowns will be using an exhibit company for the handling of goods. We are currently sourcing pricing from GES, Alliance, and Freeman to identify the lowest cost for our vendors. Drayage services typically cost between $2.50 and $4.50 per pound. Drayage will be used ONLY if you are shipping boxes to the exhibit company for storage and delivery of goods.

*PLEASE NOTE: BOOKS GOWNS & CROWNS IS A COMPANY THAT SUPPORTS HUMAN ARTISTS. WE DO NOT ACCEPT VENDORS THAT USE GENERATIVE AI (whether that be via narrators, artists, authors, etc.)
