Rules and Regulations

As an exhibitor of the 2009 NAB Show and/or RTNDA@NAB you agree to all the terms and conditions as stated below or included in your NAB Show Space Contract.

Full Rules and Regulations

If you are concerned your booth does not conform to the Rules and Regulations set forth by NAB, please submit a Booth Review Request. If you have special circumstances and need a variance, please submit a Booth Variance Request.

All exhibitors using an Exhibitor Appointed Contractor (EAC) must submit an EAC form and proof of insurance.

Highlights:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
    1. 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.
    2. A solid wall between an island or split-island booth and a row of linear booths (particularly along the perimeter) is inappropriate.
    3. This is particularly important along shared walls and borders between linear and split-island exhibits.
  4. Height Regulations By Booth Type:

  6. 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.
  7. 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. Exhibitors may purchase general liability insurance from our preferred partner AON and The Hartford for $175. Order forms will be available in October. In addition, international exhibitors may contact AON to receive a free quote for property insurance at the 2009 NAB Show.
