WHAT IS A SHELL SCHEME? Shell Scheme is an industry term which refers to the physical build of your booth. Shell scheme booths are constructed of sleek black corinthian walls, with sides and a metal frame that holds the fascia (signage) with the name of your organisation.

These booths are available in 3x3m, 3x4m and 3x6m sizes. The walls are 2.2m high and are covered in velcro-compatible material. All shell schemes include one 4 amp power source, 2 lights and your business name on the fascia.

The location of the stand determines how many walls the stand has. Corner sites have two walls, whereas inner sites have three walls (with an open face). Carpet is not a standard inclusion. However, flooring can be hired from the expo builder, or self sourced.

INNER STANDS AND OUTER STANDS Shell scheme booths are classified as ‘inner’ and ‘outer’ exhibiter spaces. The map below is an example of where inner and out booths are located. While we spread entertainment and features of the floor plan to ensure good traffic flow all around the event some exhibiters prefer booths along the outer perimeter walls and some prefer spaces closer to the centre of the hall.

DISABILITY CONNECTION EXPO 2025

OPEN EXHIBITION SPACES Open exhibition spaces are a space defined by flooring. The standard flooring option is blueberry carpeted tiles laid by the expo builder. Most 6x6 spaces do not have a rear wall. Exceptions to this are marked on the relevant floorplan.

Open exhibition spaces come in 6mx6m, and 9mx9m. No framing, signage or lighting is included as these are sites that exhibitors will typically customise for larger and specialised displays. They do include power and if a wall, different carpet or furniture is required then it must be ordered and paid for by the due date through our booth building provider, typically at least one month prior to the event.

This gives exhibitors the freedom and flexibility to style the space in the way that best represents their organisation.

Typically exhibitors with open stands will have free-standing signage like banners. Open stands are only located in the “inner” portion of the expo floor.
