While you may order booth furnishings from any vendor, be aware that you will incur a cost from the show contractor for storing and moving items from their warehouse to your booth or from the dock to your booth. When the show contractor is announced, we encourage you to use them as independent vendors may not advise you of the additional fees that can/will be incurred. Avoid surprises, use UIC- approved contractors.

Important Details Regarding Booths

All booths are sold in increments of 100 sq. ft. (10’x10′). Please note, with the exception of island booths, we do not create cross-aisle booths (booths with numbers from different aisles) as these booths block the sightline of the neighboring exhibitor. An example of cross-aisle booths are 716 and 817,  1014 and 1115, etc. 

Equipment/display items are to be arranged so they do not obstruct the line of sight of neighboring exhibitors. The exhibition industry standard for the display is to not exceed 8′ in height in the rear half of the booth and 5′ from the middle to the aisle. 

In-line booths (booths with neighbors to the left and/or right of the side dividers) may not have a hanging sign (sign rigged from the ceiling).

Islands booths (booths with aisles on all sides) may not have an exhibit back wall nor pipe and drape.
