BOOTH AND DISPLAY STANDARDS
- GENERAL RESTRICTIONS:
BOOTHS – 10’x10’ booths in a straight line: Linear booths, also called “in-line” booths are generally arranged in a straight line and have neighboring exhibitors on their immediate right and left, leaving only one side exposed to the aisle. Each booth will consist of a draped 8’ high back wall and 3’ high side walls. Display materials should be arranged in such a manner so as not to obstruct sight lines of neighboring exhibitors.
SET-BACK – All display fixtures over 5’0” (1.22m) in height and placed within 10 lineal feet (3.5m) of an adjoining exhibit must be confined to the rear five feet of the exhibit space to avoid blocking your neighbor’s visibility. Exhibitors with larger spaces – 30 lineal feet (9.14m) or more may extend booth fixtures, signage, and other display items all the way to the front line of their exhibit booth, provided that these items are at least 10 lineal feet away from any neighboring booth.
EXPOSED ENDS – The side of any display cabinet or structure which is visible from an aisle or adjacent booth must be finished or suitably covered at the expense of the exhibitor erecting the display.
SUPPORT – displays must be self-supporting and may not be affixed to the building, floors, or walls.
ALLOWABLE SPACE – displays must be wholly confined within exhibitor booth and must not obstruct the clear view of nearby booths or exhibits.
BOOTH CARPETING – The Expo at WMCLV is not carpeted. Exhibitors may lease carpet or padded flooring from Paradice Expo Services, the show decorator. To color-coordinate display elements, exhibitors may provide their own carpeting or lease color-coordinated carpeting. Please read the Exhibitor Service Manual for details. All exposed edges must be taped. Installation must be accomplished within local labor and decorative guidelines. No credit will be allowed against the exhibit fee structure when packaged carpet is not used.
