Booth Layout

When arranging your booth space, do not create a tall wall between yours and adjacent booth spaces. We need clear line-of-sight for attendees to see to the next booth.  Metro Productions Inc. has final discretion for booth set up.   If questions, please email us a diagram of your space for review (doesn’t need to be fancy/to scale, just to demonstrate any features that might need additional approval).

Tables/Chairs/Wastebaskets/Electrical/Phone/Natural Gas connections are additional: Contact the Expo Center or their contractor AT LEAST 21 DAYS IN ADVANCE FOR BEST PRICING.  Utility prices increase closer to the event date.

Booth assignments and locations are at the sole discretion of PS&WF.  Priority is given to sponsors, and then by date of deposits. ALL vendor activities must stay within your booth space. No working the aisles.
