OPEN SHOW PRINCIPLE for INDOOR EXHIBITORS
We adhere to the Open Show Principle where no neighboring booth is obstructed. Sometimes the exhibit is set up in such a way that this is not possible. If you are aware that your exhibit might obstruct/offend your neighbor, please let us know in advance and together we can solve this dilemma.  Often when an exhibitor is given the courtesy of being advised of this possibility it becomes of little consequence and everyone is happy.  So let’s do communicate in advance.  Just a call to the coordinator or your Accounts Executive is requested.  

Thank you.
