Props will be stored along the walls of Exhibit Hall AB.

Please be aware of a transportation update: one of the Chatham Area Transit (CAT) ferries is currently out of service due to mechanical issues, and repairs have been delayed until after the holiday. This means only one ferry will operate during the convention, running the full triangle route with extended hours. Boat captains will reduce break times at each stop and continue service as efficiently as possible.

However, to minimize wait times, we recommend utilizing the available ground transportation options:

• Three motor coaches will run each route.
• Additional transportation will be available on River Street.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as Visit Savannah works to ensure smooth travel for all attendees. If you have any questions or need assistance, please let us know.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you in Savannah!
