What are the standard booth regulations for most North American trade shows?

Trade show regulations vary slightly from venue to venue, but most North American halls adhere to these common regulations for inline and island booths. Exhibitors with international experience will recognize that North American rules are very different from those in Europe and Asia. For example:

Standard/Linear Booth (10' depth)

Any booth that shares a common back wall and abuts other exhibits on one or two sides.

Maximum height is 8 ft. This 8 ft. height may be maintained on the sidewall of your booth up to a distance of 5 ft. from the front aisle. The remaining length of the sidewall may be no higher than 4 ft.

In European shows, the display may extend 8 ft. to the aisle, which is uncommon in North American shows.
