• Exhibitors are not permitted to place booth materials outside their respective booth boundaries.
• Displays and/or products are not permitted to extend above the side curtains more than five feet from the back of the booth. This enables everyone to have a line of vision to all neighboring booths.
• All exhibitors are responsible for their exhibit materials. Do not leave anything behind; (sell, donate, take it home or give it away after the show closes) but you must make the necessary arrangements.
• Exhibitors may not begin tearing down or removing items from their booths until the show is officially closed at 3:00 pm on the final day. NCNLA reserves the right to remove non-compliant exhibitors from future shows.

Fire Codes require that all gas-powered equipment displayed must contain no more than 2 gallons of gas, and the gas tank must have a locking gas cap or be adequately sealed by tape or some other appropriate manner. All battery cables on gas-powered equipment must be disconnected and taped to avoid potential sparks.
