Yes. There are a number of sources you may look to for assistance in designing and constructing your booth. The Convention General Contractor (Freeman) can assist you in this area. There are also several other companies that provide such services on the web. You are not required to use any particular contractor. We encourage you to shop around and receive bids on your booth design project before making a final decision. Begin the process as early as possible to avoid delays and time constraints as the event draws near.

It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to follow these guidelines in booth construction, and it will be at the exhibitor’s expense to comply with these should their booth be in violation of such.

For purposes of example on the most common booth at the show, below are the specifications for a 10’x10’ linear booth. Please consult the online guidelines for other booth configurations and guidelines beyond the linear booth listed below.

Linear Booth

Linear booths have only one side exposed to an aisle and are generally arranged in a series along a straight line. They are also called “in-line” booths.

Dimensions

Regardless of the number of linear booths utilized, (e.g., 10’x20’, 10’x30’, 10’x40’, etc.) display materials should be arranged in such a manner so as not to obstruct sight lines of neighboring exhibitors. No banners or other items may be suspended from the facility ceiling in linear booths in order to obtain heightened visibility.

Any structure exceeding the standard eight-foot (8’) height restriction for linear booths must be submitted for approval by Show Management (Banners or other items not integral to booth structure will be refused above eight feet.) There is a four-foot (4’) height restriction imposed on all materials in the front half (5 feet) of space forward to the aisle. Corner Booth A corner booth is a booth exposed to aisles on two or more sides.

Exhibit fixtures, components, banners and identification signs will be allowed to a maximum height of 18’ (from the ground to the top of the booth/banner). The entire cubic content of the space may be used up to the maximum height. It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to comply with Display Week’s general terms and conditions. Show management has the right to amend these guidelines at any time, as necessary. If a booth does not comply with the Fire Marshall’s safety rules, there is nothing Freeman, SID, PCM or the convention center can do to override the Fire Marshall decision.

No exhibitor is to begin teardown or packing process until the Exhibit Hall closes. If you are unable to keep to the exhibit schedule you should reconsider exhibiting. Early teardown of one’s exhibit will result in booth selection penalties the following year.

There is a two-part reason behind this policy.

We still have clients entering the show and they have been promised that the full package of exhibitors will be present. You may be the one exhibitor they really wanted to visit by living early, you deprive them of that opportunity.

It impacts your fellow exhibitors. Early teardown not only creates a visual eyesore and a possible physical obstacle to accessing other exhibitors, but it also sends a psychological message to clients that time is up and they need to stop visiting other exhibitors.

Teardown begins once the show ends on Thursday, May 7th, at 2:00 pm.

Yes. You are not required to use the items available for rental through the decorator. If another vendor delivers these items to the dock, drayage or special handling labor fees will apply.  Note, occasionally “do-it-yourself” carpeting may cause tripping hazards and/or a fire hazard. In these circumstances it may be necessary to secure, for a fee (at exhibitor’s expense), labor to better secure carpeting or replace it should it be a hazard to others. Note, carpet/flooring is not required.

All booths that are 200 SF or larger require union labor for set up and dismantle. You may choose either GES labor (no Certificate of Insurance is required), or an Exhibitor Appointed Contractor (Certificate of Insurance for the EAC required). An exhibitor appointed contractor (EAC) is a company other than the general or official service provider on the show that requires access to a booth during installation and dismantling.
