RULES AND REGULATIONS |
|
The following Booth Design Rules and Regulations have been developed to assist in effectively administering the exposition and to promote continuity in exhibit design and setup for displays at the AAPM Annual Meeting and Technical Exhibits. All Exhibitors are considered equal regardless of size and are given equal opportunity, within reason, to present their product in the most effective manner to the audience. Exhibit Management has adopted the following booth dimension rules and regulations from the International Association for Exposition Management in an effort to make this possible while still allowing the greatest flexibility in the overall exhibit. |

| Review of Technical Exhibits |
Members of the AAPM Technical Exhibits Subcommittee will be on hand to advise Exhibitors of any rule violations during the initial stages of booth setup. During the setup process, an informal review of the exhibits will take place. Written notice will be given to any company in violation of the AAPM Booth Design Rules and Regulations during the set up period so that Exhibitors will be given ample opportunity to correct any violations. All infringements must be corrected prior to the show opening at 12:30 pm on Sunday, July 22. If the infringement has not been corrected by that time, the following penalty will apply:
Penalty Rule for Booth Design/Setup Violations:
Minor Violation: Verbal and written warning.Major Violation: Exhibitor will be responsible for payment equivalent to 10% of total booth fee.
|
| Booth Construction and Arrangement |
Exhibits will be so arranged as not to obstruct the general view, nor hide the exhibits of others. Plans for specially-built displays not in accordance with regulations are to be submitted to Exhibit Management before construction is ordered.
Regular and specially-built back walls, including signs, may not exceed an overall height of 8 feet. The maximum booth height of 8 feet may extend ½ the depth of the booth from the back wall. Height limitation of the display in the balance of the area is 3 feet, except for products or equipment which in itself exceeds 3 feet.
No display material exposing an unfinished surface to neighboring booths will be permitted.
| Connection of Islands Across Official Aisle Space |
If an Exhibitor wishes to connect one island formation with a second island formation across an official designated aisle, be it with a sign or archway, the Exhibitor will be responsible for the rental of the entire aisle space that runs the length of each booth. The price of the aisle space is $2,000 per 10 feet x 10 feet space.
Example:
If two 20 feet x 30 feet booths are rented by one Exhibitor and said Exhibitor wishes to connect the two booths across an official aisle, and that aisle space measures 10 feet x 30 feet in space, the Exhibitor will be responsible for the rental of the entire 10 feet x 30 feet aisle space. ($2,000 x 300 sq. ft. = $6,000)
| Submission of Scale Drawing for Island Formations - Due April 30 |
Exhibitors will be mailed booth assignment notifications on April 13. Exhibitors reserving island space are then required to submit for approval complete scale drawings, both concept and construction, indicating all dimensions including applicable set back, to AAPM HQ by April 30.
Exhibitors will be assigned the size of island space as requested on their Exhibitor Application and Contract. Therefore, prior to the submission of the Application, it is the responsibility of the Exhibitor to make sure the space requested will accommodate a booth design that conforms to the AAPM Booth Design Rules and Regulations pertaining to island booths.
If the scale drawing submitted on April 30 does not comply with the AAPM Booth Design Rules and Regulations, the Exhibitor must either redesign the booth to come into compliance or request a larger space. There is no guarantee that larger space will be available at that time.
| Booth Dimensions |
All exhibits must conform to the dimensions outlined below in order to assure ease of movement of participants and clear lines of visibility in the exhibit hall. For more information on booth dimension guidelines please contact Lisa Rose Sullivan at AAPM HQ, lrose@aapm.org.
