What is included with my booth?

All aisle booths will be provided with 8’ high backdrop drapes, 33” high side drapes, and a 7”x44” sign indicating the booth number and company name of exhibitor. In keeping with the uniformity of the Show, Exhibitors must use the backdrop drapes provided by the Atlanta Apartment Association.
