Structural Integrity All exhibit displays should be designed and erected in a manner that will withstand normal contact or vibration caused by attendees and should also be able to withstand moderate wind effects that may occur since the venue is outdoors.

Storage Exhibitors may store a limited supply of literature or product appropriately within the exhibit space area, so long as these items do not create a safety problem, or look unsightly.
