This maximum height of 2.5 metres / 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 1.52 metres / 5 feet from the aisle, has a height restriction of 1.22 metres / 4 feet). Note: When three or more Linear Booths are used in combination as a single exhibit space, the 1.22 metres / 4 ft height limitation is applied only to that portion of exhibit space which is within 3.05 metres / 10 feet of an adjoining booth. Double-sided signs, logos and graphics are not permitted on the neighbor s exhibit side of any adjoining wall.

Carpeting/Floor Covering- All exhibit space must be fully carpeted or covered. Carpet enhances your corporate image and continues the overall professional look of the show. You may supply your own carpeting, or rent it from STRONCO, the official Show Services Provider. Exposed parts of displays and/or equipment must be finished or covered in such a manner as not to be unsightly to exhibitors in adjoining booths.
