Display Specifications:
Vendor Court tables are 6'x30" table-top displays; not a full-sized tradeshow exhibit booth (e.g. 10x10 or 12x12 booth). All tables will be draped with two chairs each. FMI will provide a standard table sign with exhibitor company name for identification purposes. Displays are limited to product samples, brochures, collateral or pop-up displays that fit on the table surface. Floor displays or self-standing signs are not permitted beside, behind or in front of the vendor's table. All shipping costs, electricity, audio visual equipment or internet services are at the exhibitor's expense.
