Display Rules & Regulations
The following rules and guidelines specify what an exhibitor can and cannot do with their booth space. These rules and guidelines are based on the physical characteristics of the exhibit hall, the intent to be equally fair to all exhibitors, and the safety of all concerned.
Please review these rules and plan your display accordingly as variances will not be granted prior to the Show or on-site.
Demonstration Areas
Demonstration areas must be confined within the exhibit space so as not to interferewith any traffic in the aisles. Exhibitors must contract sufficient space to be able to comply with this rule. When large crowds gather to watch a demonstration and interfere with the flow oftraffic down the aisles or create excessive crowds at neighboring booths, it is an infringement on the rights of other exhibitors. Aisles may not be obstructed at anytime.
Demonstration Equipment
Equipment, product, or machinery, when displayed to demonstrate or simulate industrialapplication, are exempt from the foregoing height limits, but are restricted only by ceiling height, as well as building and safety codes.
Exposed Areas Must Be Finished
All backwalls, sidewalls or any other exposed areas of the display must be draped or finished surfaces. No graphics, logos, or print facing into another booth is allowed. Anycompany advertisement or promotion must face into the aisle. In-line and peninsula booths must have a finished back wall covering the back of the booth. See through back walls or displays which do not cover the back wall completely will not be allowed.
Please note that ALL FIRE HOSE CABINETS MUST BE KEPT VISIBLE AND CLEAR. After 5pm on Monday, January 8 any part of a booth with unfinished side or back wallswill be draped by Show Management at the expense of the exhibitor.
Graphics on Neighbor's Side
The backside of walls - the common border facing a neighboring booth - must be clear of copy, logos, or other graphics, so as not to be an eyesore to neighboring exhibitors.
