Many international exhibitors may not be familiar with the standard “pipe and drape” for booth construction, which is used at U.S. tradeshows. In shows held outside the U.S., a “shell scheme” is offered, which includes “hard walls” as opposed to “pipe and drape”.

To simplify your booth options, please note the following information:

Standard Booth Equipment – includes background and side draperies, plus an identification sign). This is included in the cost of your exhibit space fees (Refer to Form A-5, Option 1).
Package Option (400017) – includes the Standard booth Equipment plus furnishings such as furniture and carpeting. (Refer to Form A-5)
Package Option (401400) – includes a Shell Scheme (choice of fabric or hard wall, fascia header), carpeting, daily vacuuming, and furniture. (Refer to Form A-5)

If you need additional furnishings, electrical service (power), or other services that are not included above, you will need to complete additional forms, which can be found in other sections of the manual (See table of contents).

If you have contracted with Amsterdam RAI for the INTERNATIONAL PAVILION, please contact them directly concerning your booth options.
