- All booth spaces are 10’ deep x 10’ wide. Absolutely no displays may extend beyond these dimensions, as marked on the floor. If your display extends beyond these dimensions and the decorator must cut the aisle carpet around your display, you will be charged for that length of carpet at their replacement rate--refer to Hargrove Furnishings Order Form for fee. Please note that displays should be less than 10’ x 10’ as your space also includes the pipe and drapery dividers. Important Note: Some booths will have columns located within the display area (as noted on the floor plan on 2G). The columns have a 12” x 12” square base and some hold a water faucet, electrical box and / or fire extinguisher.
- Each booth is provided with a black 8’ high back wall and 3’ high side wall. 8’ high side walls are permitted ONLY for the rear 5’ depth of the booth (draped on back), with sidewalls in the front 5’ of the booth not to exceed 4’ in height. Back walls of an exhibit cannot exceed a maximum of 10’ in height unless the exhibit is located on the back wall of the show or against a permanent wall of the building. The back wall must be finished above the 8’ height of the drapery at exhibitor expense--see following page for more information. *QUESTIONABLE BOOTH SIDE WALL SITUATIONS WILL BE REVIEWED AT THE DISCRETION OF THE SHOW MANAGEMENT.
