Installation and DismantleMove-in and move-out at America's Center run on a tighter clock than most exhibitors expect, since the next show's own move-in is often already on the calendar before the current one has left the floor.

Installation and dismantle, often shortened to I&D, covers the labor that builds a booth on the show floor and takes it back down once the show closes, distinct from the fabrication that happens before the exhibit ever leaves the shop.

At a venue the size of Cervantes Convention Center and The Dome, dock access and marshaling yard space are shared across every exhibitor moving in at once, which makes scheduling as important as the labor itself.

A crew that shows up without a confirmed labor call time or without knowing the loading dock sequence can lose hours waiting for their turn rather than working.
