Our goal is to constantly improve the quality of our shows, to meet the needs of our attendees, exhibitors, and sponsors.

You MUST submit a picture of your display for approval before contracting space. Exhibits must be done in good taste; no nudity, thongs, bikinis, etc. Exhibits will not include audio with lewd, profane, nor violent content, or exceed a reasonable volume (MAX 85db). Interpretation of the meaning and intent of this restriction shall be the sole prerogative of show management. Exhibitor agrees that conditions, rules, and regulations are made a part of this contract and that said exhibitor agrees to be bound by each and all of these conditions, and that Show Management shall have the full power to interpret, amend, and enforce all rules and regulations in the best interest of the show.

Booth height shall not exceed 10' from the floor without prior written permission from show management; booth size cannot exceed the space contracted. Exhibits shall be arranged so as not to obstruct the general view or access to surrounding displays, aisles, or public space within the exhibit facilities. If you require end of aisle space, a 30% surcharge will apply. Please note, these corner and end of aisle placements are extremely desirable and must be contracted in advance. Please note that having a trailer as a part of your display will limit your options for placement on the show floor, as trailers will block sight lines and this necessitates placement along perimeter walls. Most venues will not allow propane tanks inside, so these must be removed in all cases from trailers. Any motorized vehicle must comply with gas level regulations – the standard limitation is 1/8 tank for ALL VEHICLES, including tractor trailers and generators. In most cases, vehicles will be inspected and will have gas tanks sealed by the fire marshal. SPACE REQUIREMENTS: Rental space is for the space only.

EXCHANGE EXHIBITOR PASS FOR MULTIPLE ONE-DAY PASSES IS NOT PERMITTED. Additional passes will be available for purchase at move-in (limit of 4). UNIONS/LABOR: In some instances, union contracts mandate that they have the sole responsibility for installation and removal of your display.
