GENERAL BOOTH QUESTIONS

Booth design rules: We are fortunate in our state to not have a lot of set-up and design regulations. All booth amenities must be within the alotted space (nothing in the isles) unless pre-approved. Anything deemed unsafe in the opinion of the expo organizer (such as tipping hazards) will be required to change. The provided drape rods will support normal banners but in general are not to be used as booth support. Helium balloons are allowed only if securely attached to your own booth. Please do not pass out balloons to visitors.

During expo, please park in any of the main lots North of the UCCU Center.
