Exhibit and Shipping Information

Shipping, inbound and outbound


The Coeur d'Alene Resort has limited storage space and can accept up to fifteen (15) boxes total per conference no sooner than 7 days prior to the start of the conference.

All items within the agreed upon number listed above must be labeled as follows:

The Coeur d'Alene Resort
115 South Second Street

For shipments outbound from the Resort following the conclusion of your program, all boxes must be packed and labeled with the shipment and billing information.
