No third-party promotion will be permitted. Space contracted for/by an exhibitor is for the sole use of that exhibitor.
              4. All exhibit structures (i.e. carpets, signs), activities (i.e. staff, mascots) and materials (i.e. brochures) must be confined within the limits of the assigned booth space.
              5. Distribution of materials outside the booth is expressly forbidden. Aisle space may not be used for exhibit purposes or for solicitation of business.
              6. Exhibitors wishing to cancel their booth must do so in writing no later than January 30, 2026. A $150.00 administrative fee will be charged for all cancellations made on or before January 30, 2026. There will be no refunds for cancellations made after midnight on January 30, 2026
              7. Booths have an 8’ high back wall and 3’ high side walls. Hallway tables have an 8’ high back wall. If a sign or display is higher than 3’, such higher display can only extend four feet outwards from the back along the side rails. Exhibitors desiring to use a booth with non-standard height (including sidewalls) must receive written approval from Management in advance of the Show. Submit your proposed structural changes to cheryl@airdriechamber.ab.ca before March 16, 2026.
              8. IMPORTANT NOTICE: Due to venue restrictions, exhibits more than 8ft high and 9ft wide are not guaranteed access into the Genesis Place Field House(s). Please consider transporting your exhibit in pieces to be assembled inside your booth. Exhibitors are advised to measure their exhibit in advance.
