Exhibit Space

  • Carpet - to minimize costs at AGS20, the AGS has decided to eliminate carpet in the exhibit hall at the Long Beach Convention Center. Exhibitors will not be required to carpet their individual booths. This is a significant cost saving. 
  • No booth may have any roofing that prevents sprinklers from operating properly.
  • No exhibit may span an aisle with roofing or floor covering.
  • Exposed unfinished sides of exhibit backgrounds must be draped to present an attractive appearance. In the event this is not done, and the exhibitor is not available, the Exhibits Manager will order such draping, which will be charged to the exhibitor.
