The Staging Lot for 2026:
The corner of Scribner and Bridge/Michigan St (SE Corner); entrance off Scribner, 360 Scribner Ave NW.
Cross traffic turns are NOT allowed on Michigan Street when entering or exiting DeVos Place Loading Docks during move-in and move-out, unless specifically directed by traffic controllers.
STAGING LOT ALTERNATIVE: FREIGHT ELEVATOR
If you do not need drive in access to your booth location or access to the loading dock to unload your items, consider using the freight elevator via the parking garage under DeVos Place at or after your move in time. Entry to the parking garage is off Michigan Avenue at standard height of 8’2”, and a parking fee will be charged. Please be sure to stop by the show office to receive a 2 hour parking validation that is valid for move in and move out only. The freight elevator is located on the North wall. We recommend you bringing your own cart to avoid any delays as the building only has a few carts.
NOTE: The Freight Elevator operates at scheduled times. Please check schedule below.
MOVE-IN:
- Wednesday, January 7 – Thursday, January 8, by assigned time.
- For vehicle access to your booth, check in at the staging lot shortly before your scheduled move in time.
- If you do not need vehicle access to the show floor, you may move in any time AFTER your scheduled move-in time from the parking garage (fee access) using the Freight Elevator. Please be sure to check schedule.
- Freight elevator operates Thursday 9am – 4pm and Friday 8am – Noon.
- Friday, January 9, is hand-carry only; set up must be completed by 10:00am.
- The overhead ceiling to the parking facility is 8’ 2”.

If it comes to our attention that your booth was dismantled prior to the close of the Show, you will not be offered standard renewal opportunities.
- Sunday, January 11 and Monday, January 12 by assigned time.
- Vehicle access is by assigned time only and requires that you check in with the staging lot to get a move out pass.
- If you do not need vehicle access to the show floor or loading dock, you may move out any time BEFORE your scheduled move-out time (but not before show closing time) using the Freight Elevator.
- Freight elevator operates Sunday 5pm – 8 pm.
- The overhead ceiling to the parking facility is 8’ 2”.
- ALL displays must be out by Monday, January 12 by 12pm.
- Leaving your display past your move-out time leaves your display in the way and in danger.

Before & After Slideshow
Get Noticed!
At the Grand Rapids Remodeling & New Homes Show, we have designated feature areas – places for patrons to sit and sketch out their ideas, discuss their plans, and digest what they’re seeing at the show. As part of those areas, we’ll be displaying Before & After pictures from our exhibitors on monitors to inspire their creativity, and show off what our exhibitors can do. That’s where you come in!
Use the form below to upload your before & after pics (or if you’re a builder, just the after works!), along with a logo & contact information you want displayed, and we’ll include up to 5 sets* per exhibitor in a looping slideshow that will be on display all hours of the show.
Important Instructions:
The photos should be the largest versions you have, so that they show up brilliantly on our HD screen. The online form has a maximum upload size of 10MB per file, so if your files are larger, you may take advantage of services like Dropbox or Google Drive, and use the link option below.
To keep the slideshow consistent, please do not style your photos with your logo or booth number – we will do that when we create the slideshow.
*5 before and 5 after photos, 10 photos total. New home builders may submit 5 photos of new construction.
For more information or if you have questions, please contact Derek Lancioni at derekl@showspan.com or 616-447-2860.
Submissions are now closed.
