Additional Trade Show Exhibitor Rules
Booth Guidelines
NCNLA reserves the right to remove non-compliant exhibitors from future shows or invoice any company for removal or cleaning services related to products left behind.
- 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.
Equipment Dealers
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.
Christmas Tree and Pine Straw Exhibitors
All cut Christmas trees, greenery or pine straw products must be treated with a fire retardant to prevent any fire hazards.
Tree Size
Maximum 36” ball or 45 gal, and overall height no more than 15 ft. tall will be allowed on show floor. Any trees larger than this will be trimmed prior to moving into the exhibit spaces.
Inclement Weather
In the case of inclement weather, the NCNLA Board of Directors reserves the right to make an onsite decision re: early tear down and show closing.
