1. INTRODUCTION

The International Council of Shopping Centers will again feature a Leasing Mall, May 22-24, at the 2006 Spring Convention in Las Vegas. Through the use of control guidelines and color combinations, a professional atmosphere will be created. This document outlines the requirements placed upon Leasing Mall exhibitors in order to ensure continuity and controlled expression throughout.

As exhibitors you are encouraged to express the individuality and character of your company through creative planning, lighting, graphic signage, and other presentation techniques. For the mutual benefit of all Leasing Mall exhibitors, all exhibitors are required to comply with the following established design criteria. Review of designs and any interpretation required of the design criteria will be made through ICSC.

The exhibitor or his agent must design and supply all display, furnishings, decorative items, etc. Consult the Exhibitor Service Manual CD for furnishings and other services provided by GES Exposition Services, the official show contractor, or order on-line with GES. First time users must register to receive a user ID and password.

2. AREA DRAWINGS

All Area Drawings can be found on the ICSC Web page. Please review your area drawing carefully before you prepare your layout. You will not be receiving individual Area Drawings in the mail.

3. EXHIBIT DESIGN CRITERIA

Exhibit and exhibit materials may not exceed the standard 10’-0” height restriction within the leasing area as designated by the lease line. (Due to their own special conditions, Leasing Suite and Public Sector exhibits have specific criteria that must be followed. Please see items #4 and #5 for full details.) The only area in which the standard 10’-0” height restriction rule can be broken is in the first 4’-0” of the exhibit on any side that is open to an aisle (4’- 0” Deep Design Control Area). This means that within this 4’- 0” area the exhibit can rise to 16’- 0”. ICSC does request that all exhibitors keep exhibits to 14’-0” in height within the 4’- 0” Deep Design Control Area when near any demising wall that divides an exhibit from its neighboring exhibits. A consideration for waiver of said regulations must be made in writing to ICSC and Development Design Group with full explanations.

1. Exhibitor may not project beyond lease line.
   
   
2. Exhibitor may attach lightweight items on the interior side of the ICSC wall system using only Velcro or special hooks. These items are not to exceed ten pounds per four foot panel. Exhibitor may not use tape, glue, nails or screws to affix objects to the walls. Damage to the walls will be charged to the exhibitor.
   
   
3. Partitioning system panels used to configure the demising walls are 4'- 0" wide x 10'- 0" high. The wing walls are 2'- 0" wide x 10'- 0" high at the front of the lease line and 1’- 0” wide x 10’- 0” high within the leased space.
   
   
4. Carpet color within the exhibit space is light gray. Aisle carpet color is blue (See ICSC Leasing Mall Rules and Regulations #18).
   
   
5. E. Wall panels are covered with gray fabric material and are Velcro-compatible.
