Difference in Booth Levels:

Deluxe booths: corner booths and booths opening toward the premium booth section. Good traffic area, benefiting from the draw of the premium booth area.

Standard booths: the majority of booths in the exhibition area. Solid and reliable traffic area. Same size as premium and deluxe booths.

Equipment Showcase spaces: Exclusive open space for motorized equipment; Easy Access; Available space sizes include 20’x20’, 30’x40’, 50’x40’; Excellent for displaying large vehicles (buses, construction equipment);  medium size vehicles (ADA vehicles, multiple pieces of large landscape equipment, large trucks); regular-size vehicles (smaller landscape equipment, cars, trucks).  Allows for close inspection of equipment.
