Booths are 10' x 10' with a draped 8' high back wall and 36" side rails. Standard “in-line” booths may not extend beyond 8’ tall. The side wall may reach a maximum height of 8' extending 5' out from the backwall, then must drop to 3' in height to the aisle.

Booth materials may also not extend beyond the dimensions of the booth space and with consideration of not blocking line of sight down the aisle. Show management reserves the right to determine interference with other exhibitors. Exhibit activity of each exhibitor must stay within the exhibitor's allocated exhibit space.
