BOOTH SPACE & SIGNAGE HEIGHT GUIDELINES Linear / In-line Booth Booths arranged in a straight line with neighbor exhibitors on their back and immediate right and left, leaving only one side exposed to the aisle. Regardless of the number of linear booths utilized (i.e. 10 x 10, 10 x 20 ) the display material, hanging signs and items attached to the back wall are not to be higher 8 feet. This maximum height of 8 feet applies to the back wall and to the side walls for the rear half of the booth space only. The front half of the booth space, first 5 feet from the aisle, has a height restriction of 4 feet). Note: When three or more Linear Booths are used in combination as a single exhibit space, the 4 feet height limitation is applied only to that portion of exhibit space which is within 10 feet of an adjoining booth.
