Dear Exhibitor:

Welcome to Electric West taking place March 18-20, 2009 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. We are looking forward to a great show and are eager to assist you.

To help in the preparation of your exhibit, we have assembled this Exhibitor Service Manual.  Please take the time to go through this manual as it contains important information regarding every aspect of your exhibit space. Note new Display Rules!

All of the General Contractor’s services are located under the GES Exposition Services section. These services include labor, furniture rentals, carpet, custom booths, material handling and booth cleaning.  All services and/or furnishings should be ordered in advance in order to take advantage of discounted rates.  Advance planning and ordering services early may result in extra savings, so be sure to use the checklist that is provided for you in this Manual.

New Display Rules this year!

The Electric West Show is now following the cubic content rule, which allows exhibitors to make maximum use of their booth space.  Under the cubic content rule, exhibitors may build up to the front of their booths, and up to the maximum allowable height according to booth type as indicated below.

Linear Booths have only one side exposed to an aisle and are generally arranged in a series along a straight line.  They are also called “in-line” booths.  The maximum height limitation for a linear booth is 8 feet.

Definition of Peninsula Booth:
Peninsula Booth is exposed to aisles on 3 sides and composed of a minimum of four booths. There are two types of Peninsula Booths: (a) one which backs up to a linear booths, and (b) one which backs to another Peninsula Booth and is referred to as a “Split Island Booth.”  The maximum height limitation for a Peninsula Booth is 14 feet.

An Island Booth is any size booth exposed to aisles on all 4 sides. The maximum height limitation for an Island Booth is 16 feet. 

We look forward to working with you and wish you a great show.  If you have any questions regarding this manual, feel free to contact me at (203) 358-3797 or Janice.montellese@penton.com.
