BOOTH REQUIREMENTS:
Every vendor is responsible for their full booth display. We require that each vendor has some sort of a 'backdrop'.
We encourage vendors to be creative with their displays and to think of your space as your own mini storefront to welcome shoppers. We are looking for elevated booth designs.
A backdrop ties the look, vibe, and aesthetic of your brand and booth. It helps the shopper identify you. You can display your signs, products with shelving, etc., to help elevate your space. Your backdrop should be creative and reflect your brand.
Backdrops are to be no less than 6ft high and no higher than 10ft. The width/length ranges from 5-20ft long depending on the size of the booth you've selected. Any supports for your backdrop MUST also fit within your allotted booth space.
Side walls are optional.
