Display Requirements and Booth Design Guide

Refer to the CONSTRUCTION OF EXHIBIT AND USE OF SPACE and
EXHIBIT AND PUBLIC POLICY sections in the ToxExpo Rules and Regulations.
 
 On Sunday, March 16, after exhibit move-in ends at 5:00 pm, SOT Show Management will walk through the exhibit hall to inspect all exhibit booths for the following:
 
  • All displays must be in good taste, maintain the general tone of the exhibition, and comply with the International Association of Exhibitors and Events (IAEE) Guidelines and Display Rules and Regulations. 
IMPORTANT NOTE: Exhibitors with island or endcap exhibit space or those proposing any alterations from these guidelines, including using alternative materials or adding pipe and drape that exceeds eight feet in height, must submit drawings or schematics of the proposed design to the ToxExpo Senior Exhibits Manager for approval by February 17, 2025.
  • Proper booth construction using permissible drapes, furnishings, signs, and banners is required. 
  • Exhibits must conform to the size of the space and be arranged so as not to obstruct the view or interfere with other exhibits. Exhibit material (backwall, banner, equipment, etc.) must not exceed the boundaries of defined and rented exhibit space. No exhibit display may span an aisle with floor covering or roofing.
  • If the exhibit space does not include acceptable carpeting/flooring, carpet will be installed by Shepard at the exhibitor’s expense.
  • Exhibitors are required to finish all walls and structural elements if such structural elements are exposed and visible from an adjacent exhibit or from any angle of visitors' views. 
  • Exposed and unfinished sides of exhibit displays must be draped to present an attractive appearance and hide any booth material, boxes, crates, electrical cords, etc. behind and/or on the side of any booth. If such draping is not ordered, the ToxExpo Show Manager will order Shepard to install draping at the exhibitor’s expense. 
  • Corporate identification is not permitted on the exposed area adjacent to a neighboring exhibit. Corporate identification on banners and signs may hang directly above contracted island exhibit space only.
  • Exhibitors are prohibited from hanging/rigging banners or signs over their exhibit space. All rigging services must be ordered from the Orange County Convention Center exhibit services department.  
  • Monitors placed on exterior walls projecting outward from exhibit space may not project sound. Exhibitors are encouraged to place monitors on interior walls of the exhibit space if their plan is to project sound from a monitor. 
  • Storing packing materials and surplus literature must be confined to areas away from the display area. No packing containers, wrapping materials or display materials may be stored under tables or behind booths. However, a one-day supply of display materials is permitted. All empty cartons or crates must be labeled and removed for storage, or they will be removed as trash. Visit the Shepard service desk to arrange for storage if needed.


A notification will be left in a booth that has violations, and the exhibitor will be expected to fix the violations before the exhibition opens. If the exhibitor does not fix all the violation before the exhibition opens, the ToxExpo Show Manager will order Shepard to fix the violations at the exhibitor’s expense.
