[Important Event Update] City of Philadelphia Updates Mask Mandate Guidelines
|
The Philadelphia Department of Public Health announced on March 2, 2022 that the city has moved to a “level one: all clear” COVID response level. This means, effective March 2, masks are no longer required for most indoor public spaces. Masks are still required on public transportation.
What this means for the Pennsylvania Convention Center (and PACK EXPO East) is that masks are no longer required to be worn inside the facility. All are still welcomed to continue to wear masks should they desire to do so.
Visit packexpoeast.com/packready for more information. If you have any questions, please contact Show Management at expo@pmmi.org.

Please also take note of the following important move-in information:
- If you have an outbound target date of Saturday, March 26, you must have your truck(s) checked-in by 9:00 am ET at the marshalling yard or your freight will be re-routed by PACK EXPO Services at your expense.
- All exhibits must be installed by 1:00 pm, Sunday, March 20. If installation of the exhibit has not been started by then, Show Management reserves the right to authorize the official contractor to affect the necessary installation of the exhibit at the exhibitor’s expense.
- If you are delivering your booth display materials in your Personally Owned Vehicle (POV), you should check in at the bottom of the ramp located at 1102 Vine Street, Philadelphia. Trailers, rental vans, bobtails and box trucks will not be permitted to check-in at this ramp and should proceed to the Marshalling Yard.
- Exhibitor freight is under your care and responsibility until PES comes to your booth and picks up your freight to load it onto your carrier’s truck(s). It is strongly recommended that a representative stays with your freight until it is picked up. Please note, If you choose to leave the show floor before this process, you do so at your own risk and expense.
