• What is target move-in and why can’t I change it?

Targeted floor plans are developed to ease the transportation of freight on show floor. At SEMICON West, we "target" the move-in of freight. This is intended to minimize your carrier’s waiting time and maximize the efficiency of freight move-in

In order for everyone to take full advantage of their move-in period we may be unable to change your targeted move in schedule
