Booth Design and Use of Exhibit Space
Booth Design
Standard In-Line Booths
The back wall of the display is limited to 8' in height and a depth of 4'. All display fixtures and accessories, (including but not limited to book racks, instruments and foliage) over 4' in height, not to exceed 8' maximum, must be confined to that area of the exhibitor's space which is within 4' of the back line. Display material in the remaining 6' of booth space must not exceed 4' in height. Hanging signs are not permitted.
In an exhibit that contains 3 or more linear booths (30 feet or more), the interior booths are permitted to contain display material over 4' in height - with a maximum of 8' in height - which must be confined to that area of the exhibitor's space which is within 6' of the backline of the booth. Sufficient "see-through" area must be provided so as not to block the view of adjacent exhibits. The end booths of such an exhibit must conform to the Standard Booth restrictions of 4' display area from the backline of the booth. Hanging signs are not permitted.
No exhibit may span
an aisle by roofing. Exposed, unfinished sides of exhibit backgrounds
must be draped to present an attractive appearance. If such draping is not ordered, the contractor,
with the approval of the Exhibit Manager, will install it and charge the exhibitor.
Island Booths
In island booth units, bordered on four sides by aisles, the full cubic content of the space may be used; however, all display material is restricted to 16’ in height and sufficient “see-through or walk-through” area must be provided so as not to block the view of adjacent exhibits. Models or to-scale drawings of cubic content exhibits must be submitted in advance to Exhibit Management for approval to avoid problems during exhibit set-up. Hanging signs are permitted.
Violative or flammable fluids, substances or materials of any nature prohibited by city fire regulations or insurance carriers may not be used in any booth.
Nothing may
be stored behind booths. All packing containers, wrapping
materials, carrying case, etc., must be stored off the exhibit floor.
Regulations for
The exhibit hall is not carpeted. Exhibitors are required to carpet their booths/displays. Aisles will be carpeted in red.

The following guidelines
are provided:
Union jurisdiction prevails over all set-up and dismantle of exhibits including signs and the laying of carpet. This does not apply to unpacking and placement of your merchandise. You may set your exhibit display if one person can accomplish the task in less than one-half hour without the use of tools.
Union jurisdiction prevails over the operation of all material handling equipment, all unloading and reloading, and handling of empty ontainers. An exhibitor may move material that can be hand carried by one person in one trip, without the use of dollies, hand trucks, or other mechanical equipment.
Brede/National requests that exhibitors do not tip their employees. They are paid at an excellent wage scale denoting a professional status, and Brede feels that tipping is not necessary. This applies to all Brede/National employees.
Standing on chairs, tables or other rental furniture is prohibited. This furniture is not engineered to support your standing weight. Brede cannot be responsible for injuries or falls caused by the improper use of this furniture. If assistance is required in assembling your booth, please order labor on the order form and the necessary ladders and tools will be provided.
Exhibitors who plan to have an exhibit service firm (other than the official contractor) unpack, erect, assemble, dismantle, and pack displays must notify Exhibit Management in writing, with a copy to Brede by March 26, 2007, of the name of the service firm, address, and the supervisor(s) who will be in attendance. The service firm must notify Exhibit Management in writing of the names of all full-time employees working on the show, and must furnish an insurance certificate to Exhibit Management with a copy to Brede, in the amount of $1,000,000 liability to include property damage.
The

defend and save EB 2007, and its member Societies, and their officers, employees,
and agents,
Exhibitors are urged to take out a portal-to-portal rider available at a nominal cost on their own insurance policy protecting them against loss through theft, fire, damage, etc.
