    Final check at checkout

    Use the displayed delivery estimate—not this planning checkpoint.

    Banner direction

    Make the booth readable from the aisle.

    Make the solution category readable before the product name. Use one proof point only if it can be supported, and avoid dense feature lists that cannot be read from the aisle.

    Details verified with the organizer

    • The official site lists August 10–13 in Louisville.
    • The organizer says the conference brings together more than 1,000 attendees.

    Size ideas

    Three common starting points

    6 × 2 ft

    Table-front or low rail

    Confirm the visible table width and attachment method.

    8 × 3 ft

    Back-wall or aisle header

    Check pipe-and-drape width and neighboring sightlines.

    8 × 8 ft

    Step-and-repeat backdrop

    Verify booth depth, stand footprint, and fire rules.

    These are planning examples, not event specifications. Confirm booth dimensions, permitted display height, mounting, and fire-code requirements in the exhibitor manual before ordering.

    Before artwork approval

    Four checks that prevent show-floor surprises

    1. 01

      Booth dimensions

      Measure the visible area after tables, displays, monitors, and neighboring booths are considered.

    2. 02

      Hanging and fire rules

      Confirm material, height, rigging, grommet, stand, and flame-resistance requirements with show management.

    3. 03

      Shipping destination

      Check advance-warehouse and direct-to-show dates. Do not assume the convention center accepts unattended packages.

    4. 04

      Distance readability

      Print a reduced proof, step back, and make sure the brand, category, and main message remain easy to scan.
