Booth Configurations
Please Note: All Linear and Linear Back-to-Back (Walkthrough) Booths (A & B in above image) are restricted to the Line-of-Sight rules.
Line-of-Sight display rules provide restrictions on certain areas of booths to allow attendees to view neighboring booths in their line of sight as they walk the floor.
Line of Sight
Exhibitors are entitled to a reasonable sightline from the aisle. This reasonable expectation holds that persons standing in the middle of an aisle should be afforded a clear line of sight into the front portion of an adjacent booth at approximately 20ft (6.09m) away.
This expectation typically restricts in-line or linear display exhibitors from positioning any booth components higher than 4ft (1.22m) in the space adjacent to the aisle (a step back distance of 5ft) so as not to block a line of sight into a neighboring exhibit.
