EXHIBITION LOGISTICS
Booth Design and Use of Exhibit Space

The aisles are the property of all the exhibitors. Therefore, each exhibitor has the responsibility to assure proper flow of traffic through the entire show. Do not place your demonstration areas on or close to the aisle line of your exhibit. Leave space within your own exhibit area to accommodate all visitors. This regulation applies even if your exhibit booths are directly across the aisle from each other.

No booth may span an aisle with an overhead covering (such as fabric draping, roofing, etc.). Exposed, unfinished sides and backgrounds must be draped to present an attractive appearance. If such draping is not ordered, the decorator (with the approval of Exhibit Management) will install it and charge the exhibitor.

It is assumed that all exhibit personnel and outside contractors involved in setting up displays will be fully informed and understand all exhibit design requirements before they arrive to set up. ASHG Exhibit Management will monitor all booth equipment and space during and following installation to ascertain that all exhibits conform to these rules for set-up. In all interpretations of the rules and regulations, ASHG Exhibit Management's decision is final.

Standard In-line Booths: The back wall of the display is limited to 8' in height with a depth of 5' from the back wall. All display fixtures and accessories (including but not limited to book racks, instruments, and foliage) over 4' in height must be confined to that area of the exhibitor's space that is within 5' of the back line. Display material in the remaining 5' of booth space must not exceed 4' in height.

Corner Booths: The back wall of the display is limited to 8' in height and a depth of 5'. All display fixtures and accessories (including but not limited to book racks, instruments, and foliage) over 4' in height must be confined to that area of the exhibitor's space that is within 5' of the back line. Display material within 5' of the back wall may not exceed 8' in height. Side railing and drapes on the side open to the aisle may be removed at the request of the exhibitor with discretionary approval of ASHG Exhibit Management. Exhibit Management will determine approval based on the finished and consistent appearance of the open side.

Multiple Standard Booths: In an exhibit that contains more than two in-line booths (30' or more) the interior booths are permitted to contain display up to 8' in height but must be confined to that area of the exhibitor's space that is within 5' of the back line of the booth. And, the end booths of such an exhibit must conform to the 8' height limit of Standard Booth restrictions within 5' from the back line of the booth.

Peninsula Booths: Peninsula booths are defined as configurations that take the two corner spaces at the end of a main aisle. Main aisles are aisles that run north and south (main entrance on the enclosed floor plan is at the southern end). Cross aisles are those that run east and west. Examples: taking the two spaces 328 and 330 would be an in-line configuration; however, combining spaces 328 and 427 make a peninsula configuration. If you are unsure whether your booth is designed for a peninsula configuration or an in-line configuration, send diagrams of your booth to Exhibit Management before the booth is built or no less than 4 weeks before exhibits open.

Island Booths: In island configurations (bounded on four sides by aisles) the full cubic content of the space may be used. However, all display material is restricted to 8' 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. To configure an island where one does not already exist, a premium of $1,000 will be added to the total cost of the spaces used for exhibit area.
