Getting Down to Business

Upon requests from several exhibiting companies, the following changes have been made to the SVC policies for exhibiting:

• Maximum number of booths – Companies may purchase more than three booths. Companies may now purchase Island booths consisting of four contiguous booth spaces.
• Exhibit Height – Exhibits may now be 12 feet high.
