Once the Show opens these kiosks will convert into Information Kiosks that will be staffed during show hours to assist both exhibitors and attendees.

There will be an intra-facility shuttle bus available for traveling between halls during show days.

After Hours Work Passes
For security purposes, After Hours Work Passes are required for anyone who is going to be on the Show floor after hours. These passes are available if you are working before 6:30 a.m. or after 8:00 p.m. from April 12-18. These passes can be picked up at the Exhibit Management Office in Room C102 from 8:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. or at Exhibitor Registration from 7:30 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. daily. The Show floor closes at 11:00 p.m. from April 7-11 (Monday-Friday of move-in).

Equipment Passes
The NAB requires anyone, including exhibitors, who are removing equipment or materials from the Show floor other than personal belongings to hold an Equipment Pass for the duration of the time they will be moving the equipment. Equipment Passes are issued at the Exhibit Management Office, C102. Exhibit Show Management or their designated representative must sign off on all Passes, and Passes must be carried by anyone moving exhibition equipment during move-in, move-out and Show days.

Announcements
Daily announcements will be made during the move-in and move-out periods to keep moving companies aware of changes or events that pertain to setting up or dismantling the Show. Announcements during the Show will be limited to the opening and closing of the Show, and any unforeseen emergencies that may occur. Please listen to the announcements.

Highlights:
  • Exhibitor accepts the Show schedule and target move-in date assigned to their booth and acknowledges this is the only day their freight may be received at show site. In addition, exhibitor understands no booth installation may begin prior to their target move-in date. To determine exhibitor target move-in date, visit www.nabshow.com/target.
  • DIRECT SELLING: NAB strictly prohibits over-the-counter sales (i.e.: cash, check or credit card). Only bona fide business orders for future delivery are permitted. NAB reserves the right to close down booths in violation of this regulation.
  • Please be considerate of others when designing your booth; every exhibitor has the right to be visible! If you build your exhibit to the maximum height allowed across one or more sides of your booth, you ARE blocking neighboring exhibitors from being seen. Please be respectful of all exhibitors. The following is NAB’s “Good Neighbor” policy, regardless of booth dimensions.
    • All booths, regardless of size or type, should be designed in such a way so as to eliminate line-of-sight obstructions from one exhibit to the next.
    • A solid wall between an island or split-island booth and a row of linear booths (particularly along the perimeter) is inappropriate.
    • This is particularly important along shared walls and borders between linear and split-island exhibits.
  • Height Regulations By Booth Type:
      Halls
    C1-C2
    Halls
    C3-C5

  • Hanging signs are generally permitted at the NAB Show and RTNDA@NAB. Hanging signs are NOT permitted in standard linear and perimeter booths. Companies that occupy split island booths must position hanging signs at least 5 feet forward from the backwall. All hanging signs must fall within the height guidelines of the booth they occupy.
  • ALL Exhibitors must comply with all Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC) and/or Las Vegas Hilton rules applicable to exhibit construction, installation, operations and dismantling, as well as any applicable federal, state or local statute and/or regulation. Most exhibitors can add NAB, Las Vegas Convention Center and Freeman to their existing policies. Please contact your insurance company direct. Exhibitors are not required to send proof of insurance to NAB in advance. However, exhibitors are required to submit proof of insurance upon request.
