Each 6' table includes skirting and tablecloth. Purchase of each 6' table secures up to three exhibitor badges. Additional badges are $25 each.
Each 8’ x 8’ booth includes an 8’ high back wall and 3’ high side dividers, plus one skirted 6’ table & two chairs. Purchase of 8' booth secures up to five exhibitor badges. Badges for additional personnel or affiliated guests are $25 each. Booth purchasers may request an extra 6’ skirted table for $125, to be used inside the booth. Booths can hold a maximum of 2 tables.

Exhibits are not to exceed 54” in height from the floor or 24” from the top of the 30” high table. No part of the display may be located outside of a booth or in the aisles or interiors of exhibit rectangles; nor may the display intrude upon adjacent tables belonging to other exhibitors.
