Overhang booths are the first row of booths running horizontally under the entire overhang in Discovery Hall. The 15’ ceiling height under the overhang is lower than the rest of Discovery Hall. Exhibit fixtures, components and identification signs will be permitted to a maximum height of 8’-3” unless otherwise authorized by show management due to the lowered ceiling. Side rails will be 3’ and back drape is 8’.

Exhibitors providing and installing their own carpet are required to use facility approved tape. Any tape left behind by the exhibitor that cannot be removed from the convention center floor will be removed by the Decorator and charged onsite to the Exhibitor.

These booths are located in Schaumburg Ballroom East which is directly across from Discovery Hall. Exhibit fixtures, components and identification signs will be permitted to a maximum height of 12’ unless otherwise authorized by show management due to the Ballroom’s hanging chandeliers. Side rails will be 3’ and back drape is 8’. The Schaumburg Ballroom is completely carpeted, wall-to-wall. The hotel requires that a plywood base be laid down if your booth contains any item(s) such as mulch, stone, and/or plants with a weight limit of and not to exceed 5,000 pounds. The plywood must cover the entire booth space for the purpose of weight distribution. Plywood may be ordered through the Decorator in the exhibitor services manual. If your booth contains any material that could damage or stain the carpet, you will need to put down a minimum of 6 millimeters of visqueen between the material and the carpet. Please note that cleaning services will be mandatory and paid for by any exhibitor with mulch, stone and/or plants. Schaumburg Ballroom exhibitors will enter through the rear of the facility. The largest entrance available for exhibitors is the dock door with a clearance of 9’-8 3/4” high x 9’-5 3/8” wide. No item may be moved into Schaumburg Ballroom that exceeds that clearance. Upon entering Schaumburg Ballroom, all hand carts, pallet jacks, and other conveyances will be reviewed by the Show Decorator. This is to make sure that the conveyance does not damage the carpet during load-in and load-out. If your conveyance is deemed to be a potential hazard to the carpet, you will need to either locate an alternative conveyance or use a conveyance provided by the Decorator (with requisite drayage and labor costs). Be advised, the Decorator’s forklift is not able to access Schaumburg Ballroom.
