Approval for height variances will be considered for peninsula booths or island booths 10' x 20' space or larger - only, provided the increase in height is not detrimental to neighboring exhibitors.

Clearly labeled rendering and/or drawing of the proposed structure MUST be submitted with booth rendering submission form and select height variance request on the form.

ENGINEERING CERTIFICATION

Booth structures such as towers and columns which exceed 12 feet (3.66M) in height (including hanging signs) or are two-story exhibits (any height) regardless of whether people will occupy the area or not will require engineering certification verifying the structural integrity of the exhibit. Acceptable certification is in the form of a certified structural engineer’s stamp or seal directly on a set of blueprints for the exhibit. This certification must be in your possession at all times during the event and posted inside the booth structure. Failure to obtain and have available the required documentation could delay or prevent construction of your exhibit. Signs must be posted indicating the number of people the structure will accommodate. This policy has been established to ensure the safety of exhibitors and attendees at the show.
