Attending a tradeshow? Participating in an EXPO? The very important thing to decide is the booth, a wide range of different booths shall be provided to you, big or small, front or behind. You should make arrangemnts according to your needs and budget. Of course, you will also need a pipe and drape system to serve as booth decoration or banner.
There are, however, many types of booths.
Standard Booth
This is the type which will share a common backwall or sidewall with other similar booths. The “front” of the booth is open to the aisle. Generally, the backwalls of Standard Linear booths are 8 feet in height.
Perimeter Booth
This typical booth is a standard 10-foot x 10-foot booths which are located against a wall of an exhibit facility. Thus, because the back of the booth is not being shared with another exhibitor’s booth, the backwall can be higher, and backwalls are typically 12-feet high for Perimeter booths.
Peninsula Booth
It has open on three sides and shares a common wall with two other linear booths. These booths are 20-foot x 20-foot or larger. According to the Golf Industry Show website, Peninsula booths are comprised of a minimum of four standard unit booths, and are placed so that they face towards a cross aisle.
Split Island Booth
A Split Island booth is a Peninsula booth that shares a common back wall with another Peninsula booth. These booths can have a height of 16 feet.
Island Booth
An Island booth is exposed to aisles on all four sides and is sized at 20-foot x 20-foot or larger.
You may also be given options for the exact location of your booth. Consider where the highest traffic areas on the show floor are likely to be in order to maximize your visibility.
The amount of “floor space” you can buy and utilize at a trade show is dependant on your marketing budget, plus the availability of space the organizer chooses to offer to any given exhibitor. The maximum height of your exhibit depends on the type of booth you contract for.
