Exhibitor Booth Pricing
NARI-BIE is pleased to announce that per square foot pricing for the 2016 Booth space is unchanged for
2016. This means that we have held per- square foot pricing at the same level for over 5 years. This
year, because we are in a new, much larger venue, we will be able to offer a somewhat larger standard
booth size of 10 ft. X 10 ft. (versus previous 8 ft. X 10 ft. booths). Additionally we will add two new
booth configurations:
 A 15 ft. X 10 ft. in-line and corner booth
 A 10 ft X 6ft. in line space for those exhibitors that only require a small table top exhibit.
