Aisles & Adjacent Booths

• For reasons of both safety and courtesy, no signs, display items or decorative material may protrude into the aisles or extend into neighboring booths.
   
• All aisles, passageways and lobbies leading to an exit, fire extinguisher or other emergency equipment must be left unobstructed. Displays found to be blocking traffic flow will be closed down.
   
• Carpeting any area outside your exhibit space or building any extension of an exhibit over an aisle is prohibited. Official State and International pavilions may order their own aisle carpet as long as they have a total of (6) booths on each side of the aisle. Please call Roger Grant for approval at 646-878-0137.
