NOISE ABATEMENT POLICY SOUND RESTRICTIONS
SOUND RESTRICTIONS: Maximum noise level of 85 dB will be maintained on the exhibit floor. This standard is endorsed by the International Association of Expositions and Events (IAEE) and CHAMPS.
CHAMPS noise abatement policy is as follows:
•All booth elements must remain within the officially contracted booth space. This includes all truss work, audio equipment, speakers, etc.
•Exhibitors demonstrating audio equipment in an open display should use a sound chamber or acoustically contained area to keep the sound level from intruding on any adjacent exhibits.
•Speakers of any kind must be directed toward the interior of the exhibitor’s booth space. Speakers may not face aisles or neighboring exhibits.
•When demonstrating audio equipment within an enclosed demonstration room, subwoofers must be positioned away from walls that are adjacent to neighboring exhibits.
•Sound complaints will immediately be addressed by CHAMPS Management. If a vibration or sound complaint is not resolved by the offending party, CHAMPS Management reserves the right to shut down power immediately until the issue is resolved.
•Exhibitors are responsible for supervising the actions of employees, visitors or spectators testing display equipment located in their exhibit area
CHAMPS Management will intervene if necessary and reserves the right to shut down exhibits deemed objectionable. Floor managers in each show location will rove through the exhibit areas monitoring the decibel level during show hours. Measurements will be taken at a distance no greater than 10' from the offending display. After measuring a continuous decibel level of greater than 85 dB, following a complaint being registered by a spectator, a neighboring exhibitor or personal observation by a roving designate, the following procedures will be strictly enforced as follows:
First Warning:
•Violating exhibitor will be given a verbal warning
•Booth power may be turned off for one hour
Second Warning:
•Violating exhibitor will be given a verbal 2nd warning
•Booth power may be turned off for one day
HEIGHT REGULATIONS & GUIDELINES

LINEAR BOOTH
LINEAR BOOTH: Also called “in‐line” booths, are generally arranged in a straight line and have neighboring exhibitors on their immediate right and left, leaving only one side exposed to the aisle.
Hanging signs are not permitted above linear booths.
Back 5’ (1.52m) of booth has a maximum height of 8’ (2.44m).
Front 5’ (1.52m) of booth has maximum height restriction of 4’ (1.22m) on all materials – structure, product and/or equipment.
Displays are limited to 4’ in height (1.22m), in the front half of each booth. Machinery, equipment or products may not be shown on a raised/built‐up platform or counter if they interfere with the height restrictions. If your display exceeds 4’ in height (1.22m) it is required that you place it away from the 5’ x 10’ sightline area in the front of the booth in order to provide a “see‐through” lane for neighboring sponsors.
Inline booths may not exceed 8’ in height without written permission.
Back side of exhibits exceeding 8’ in height may NOT display any graphics.
Unfinished exteriors including video walls must be covered at the exhibitors’ expense.

If you have a hanging sign, there must be at least 3' (0.9144m) clearance from the top of the booth to the bottom of the sign and the total booth presence cannot exceed 20’ (6.096m).
All display fixtures over 4’ (1.22m) in height and placed within 10’ (3.05m) of a neighboring exhibit must be confined to that area of the booth that is at least 5’ (1.52m) from the aisle line to avoid blocking the sight line from the aisle to the adjoining booth.
Peninsula booths are ‘faced’ towards the cross aisle. Any portion of the booth bordering another exhibitor’s booth must have a finished back side and must not carry identification signs or other copy that would detract from the adjoining exhibit.
Please bring all US Engineer‐stamped, approved plans onsite for the Fire Marshal. The Fire Marshal reserves the right to deny booth construction without these plans.
