SHOW PRINCIPLE
We do
try to 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 communicate in advance. Just a call to the
coordinator or your Accounts Executive is requested.
Thank you.
