BOOTH SPACE AND SETUP

Each exhibitor will be provided a space measuring 12' wide by 10' deep, with extra storage behind. End booths or double booths may be available for a higher fee (see "Fees" section). The event takes place on a paved surface which prohibits anchoring any supports into the ground. Exhibitors are responsible for providing racks, tables, display units or other fixtures suitable for outdoor use. Not all booth locations are perfectly level due to slight street surface variation. Exhibitors are advised to bring leveling devices for table displays. Exhibitors are encouraged to prepare for any inclement weather including the possibility of high winds, with appropriate rain covers, tie-downs and weights.
