BOOTH DESCRIPTIONS END-CAP BOOTH End-Cap Booth Back-to-back corner exhibit spaces are combined to make one 10 X 20 booth facing an aisle. End-cap booths have a backwall 20 wide. The center 10 of that backwall is 8 high. Only materials manufactured, grow, or sold by the exhibitor in his regular course of business may exceed the 8 backwall. If material exceeds the 8 height, it must be displayed so that it does not detract from the overall impact of the exhibit directly behind. The 5 wide backwalls on either side of the 8 high backwall are limited to displays 36 in height. Each exhibitor is entitled to a reasonable sightline from the aisle, regardless of the size of his exhibit. Exhibitors with End-Cap booths should be able to use as much of the total floor space as possible as long as they do not interfere with the rights of others. End-cap exhibitors should not use draping or other materials that will block the view of the booths on either side. The limitation on display fixtures over 36 and within 10 lineal feet of a neighboring exhibitor is intended to accomplish both of these aims. ISLAND BOOTH Island Booth Blocks of exhibit space with aisles on all four sides. restrictions do not apply. Since an Island Booth is, by definition, separated by the width of an aisle from neighboring exhibits, full use of the floor space is permitted. When an Island Booth exceeds 8 in height it does not interfere with other exhibitors because it obviously does not back up to another exhibit. the extra height is often required in an Island Booth exhibit to permit the open walk-through approach normally used.

BOOTH DESCRIPTIONS STANDARD BOOTH Standard Booth One or more standard units in a straight line. All exhibit spaces have an 8 high backdrape. Only materials manufactured, grown, or sold by the exhibitor in his regular course of business may exceed the 8 backrape. If materials exceed the 8 backdrape restriction, they must be finished off so that they do not detract from the overall impact of the exhibit directly behind or to the side. Show Management reserves the right to have such finishing done as is necessary, and bill the exhibitor for charges incurred. In addition, all exhibit materials in excess of 36 in height, and placed within 10 lineal feet of an adjoining exhibit, must be confined to that area of the exhibitor s space which is within 5 of the back line. Any violation of this rule must be immediately corrected or loss of booth space may result. Each exhibitor is entitled to a reasonable sightline from the aisle, regarless of the size of the exhibit. Exhibitors with large space (Example: 30 lineal feet or more) should also be able to use as much of the total floor space as possible as long as they do not interfere with the rights of others. The limitation on display fixtures over 36 and within 10 lineal feet of a neighboring exhibitor is intended to accomplish both of these aims.
