FLOORING
Flooring is not included in the cost of your exhibit booth. It is required that all exhibit booths are carpeted or have some type of clean, professional-looking floor covering that covers 100% of the booth’s square footage. Carpeting, Astroturf, hardwood, tile, vinyl flooring etc., may be used. Visqueen must be placed on the floor before laying bricks, patios, mulch, etc. Do not drill holes, nail glue or affix flooring to the NWC flooring. Any damage to the NWC flooring will be repaired at the exhibitor's expense.
TABLE COVERINGS
It is required that all tables are properly skirted. Skirting must go from the edge of the table to the floor on all VISIBLE sides. All skirting must be pressed and neat. Use of plastic table cloths, sheets, shower curtains or any type of “makeshift” table cloths is not permitted. We strictly enforce this and will skirt all incorrectly skirted tables at the exhibitor’s expense. All inventory and personal items must be stored COMPLETELY OUT OF SIGHT. Your booth should look professional and inviting to the attendee.

STAFFING YOUR BOOTH
All exhibitors are expected to be in their booths during all published show hours, as we do receive consumer complaints about un-manned displays.
