BOOTH CONSTRUCTION
When designing exhibits and planning for the display of products and literature, for both in-line and island booths, good judgment and consideration for neighboring exhibitors and attendees should be the exhibitors primary objective.

STANDARD BOOTH
All linear booths are 100 sq ft (10’x 10’). Booths have a back wall drape that is 8’ high, with sidewall drapes that are 36” high.
Total height of exhibits (including decorations) may not exceed 8’3” in height. All display fixtures over 4’ in height and placed within 10 lineal feet of an adjoining exhibit must be confined to that area of the exhibitor’s space that is at least 5’ from the aisle line. No solid exhibit construction may exceed 42” in height, except in the rear one-half of the booth.

The intent of the height and depth restrictions is that each exhibitor is entitled to a reasonable sight line from the aisle regardless of the size of exhibit.

AMERICANS WITH DISIBILITIES ACT
Each exhibitor shall be responsible for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) within its booth and assigned exhibit space.
