Be a Good Neighbor & Enjoy the Show! 

The countdown continues, and most of you are in the final stretch of your NADA Expo planning. We have guidelines in place to help ensure that all exhibitors have a positive experience and good ROI for their participation. The following list includes some of the most common issues that Exhibitors need to be aware of in planning their 2020 participation. Here you will find the complete list of Exhibit Rules & Regulations  and Exhibit Design Regulations 

Within Booth Only - Exhibitors must not distribute promotional material from any location outside of their assigned booth space. This includes restrooms, restaurants, workshop rooms and any other public area within or outside of the convention center. 

Convention Center Exterior Property - Exhibitors may not post ads or any other form of advertising/marketing media on any structure, vehicle or device on the exterior grounds of convention center property. 

Taste and Decorum - Exhibitors may use professional models within their booth space, however, the models must be tastefully dressed. (as determined by NADA Show Management.) They must also remain in the assigned booth space and cannot walk the expo hall aisles or other areas of the convention center for the purpose of soliciting business or directing/escorting attendees to their booth. 

Audio or Visual Display Equipment - Exhibitors using audio systems and/or live entertainment must keep amplification at a conversational level. The use of speakers will be permitted only if they are within the confines of the contracted exhibit space and facing inward and not toward the aisles. Adequate sound insulation must be built around the speakers to assure non-interference with neighboring exhibitors. 

No Live Animals - Live animals will not be allowed within any booth space or the expo hall. Service dogs are allowed under ADA guidelines. 

No Peanuts or Popcorn - Peanuts or popcorn in any form are not allowed in the expo halls. 

No Packing Up Early - Monday's final day is a full exhibit day from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm. Exhibitors ARE NOT authorized to begin packing up their booths until the closing announcements have been made. 

DO NOT ever chase, confront, or stalk attendees outside your booth parameters.  This one behavior is the #1 top complaint of NADA attendees, and it's the best way to derail your ROI goals and objectives.
