Exhibitor Booth Details


Each Booth is a 10’ x 10’ space which includes the following:

  • 8’ pipe & drape along the back wall
  • 3’ pipe & drape along the side walls (with the exception of corner stalls)
  • 1 x 6’ table with 2 Chairs
  • Booth ID sign
  • 4 Exhibitor Tickets
  • 1 x 5 Amp Power Drop

The Corner Upgrade will ensure one side of your exhibit area is open to an aisle. There is only a one stall minimum to add a corner upgrade to your order. The Island Upgrade will ensure there are no booths directly around you, you are literally your own little island. There is a four stall minimum purchase if you would like to add an island upgrade to your order. Upgrade Costs are in addition to the cost of the Booths. Upgrades do not include any additional pipe and drape, tables, or chairs. Exhibitors will receive one 5 Amp power drop per booth purchased.    

Electricity upgrades, Shipping, WiFi, and other services must be contracted directly from the decorator or convention center, and will have additional costs.

Exhibitor Kit 


ShowReady is our decorator (union partner) at the LA Convention Center. LACC is a union operated venue. This means, yes, you can decorate your own booth yourself! However, the minute you use a ladder or a power tool, technically the union team has the right to step in, execute for you and charge you a labor fee. If you have more questions about set up and union guidelines, including bringing your own union team, please contact ShowReady directly.
