Display Regulations

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. Display materials should be arranged in such a manner so as not to obstruct sight lines of neighboring exhibitors. The maximum height of 8 feet is allowed only in the rear half of the booth space, with a 4 foot height restriction imposed on all materials in the remaining space forward to the aisle.

Island Booth

An island booth is any size booth exposed to aisles on all four sides. The entire cubic content of the space may be used up to the maximum allowable height (20 feet)..
