Exhibit booth design
Linear or in-line booth design
Island booth
n
An island booth is any booth exposed to aisles on all
four sides. The entire space may be used. The maximum
allowable height is 20 feet, including signage. Overhead
signage is permitted for island booths. All exhibitors
with island booths that are 20’ x 20’ (400 square feet)
or larger must submit a drawing of the proposed booth
layout to ARVO show management by Wed., March 1,
2017. Drawings must include a top and a side view of
the exhibit and indicate all dimensions. Island exhibitors
who have not obtained prior ARVO approval will not be
permitted to set up until their design has been approved.
Island booths 20’ x 20’ or larger may include walls, but
these are required to allow at least 50% see-through
on all four sides and must have a 2ft. set-back from the
aisle.
Standard in-line booths will be used. All linear or
in-line booths are 10’ x 10’ (approximately
3.1m x 3.1m). ARVO does not permit peninsula
booths, i.e., two or more booths at the end of two rows
facing a cross aisle, except with the purchase of a 20’
x 20’ booth.
n Rental includes free wireless internet access (WiFi).
n Rental includes 8’ high back drapes and 36”high side
drapes and a standard 7’ x 44” identification sign with
company name.
n All booths must be carpeted. Order forms are included
in the online Exhibitor Service Manual.
n The back wall of the display is limited to 9’
(approximately 2.7m) in height and a depth of 4’
(approximately 1.2m). Equipment that must be placed
in the front 6’ of the booth should not block the view
of adjacent booths or present unattractive backdrops,
e.g., computer cables.
n The aisles are the property of all the exhibitors;
therefore, each exhibitor is responsible for proper
flow of traffic through the exhibit area. Do not place
your demonstration areas on the aisle line of your
exhibit if you expect many people to congregate at one
time. Leave space within your exhibit area to absorb the
majority of the crowd.
