Electricity is NOT included in the booth price. Electrical forms are included in the exhibitor kit which is sent about 60 prior to the show. Electrical is ordered directly through the Convention Center. Prices vary depending on your needs.
Furnishings and/or carpeting are NOT included in the booth price but can be ordered through Freeman Decorating. Order forms are included in the Exhibitor Kit which is sent about 60 days prior to the show. You may also bring your own furnishings or carpeting.
What are booth height restrictions?
Back walls – Inline booths (booths that back up to another booth) are limited to a height of 8'3". Perimeter Inline booths (Inline booths that don't back up to another booth and are on the backwall) are limited to a height of 12'. The only exceptions for Inline booths are sponsor booths. Island booths (booths with aisles on all four sides) are limited to a height of 16'.
The side walls of booths 10' in depth may extend 5' from the back wall at a height of 8', then must drop down to a height of 4' as not to block the sight lines of neighboring exhibitors. All solid opaque structures or exhibit materials over 4' in height are to be confined within 5' of the back wall of the booth to avoid obstructing the view of adjoining exhibitors.
