Here’s what you need for a 6′ x 6′ vendor booth space with a 6′ x 2′ table in a hotel hallway:
Key Specifications
-
Booth Footprint: almost 6 feet wide by 6 feet deep.
-
Table: 6 feet long by 2 feet deep, typically placed at the front of the space, leaving you about 4 feet of depth behind it.
-
Height Restrictions: Often limited to backdrops under 8 feet tall, if allowed at all. Hallways may have very strict limits or prohibit stand-alone backdrops.
What’s Usually Provided
-
One (1) 6′ x 2′ draped table
-
One or two chairs
-
Basic signage with your booth/vendor name
-
Often does NOT include: electricity, Wi-Fi, or extended space. These are usually add-ons.
What You Must Bring/Plan For
-
Compact Display: Everything must fit on or behind the 6′ table or within the 6’x6′ floor footprint.
-
Use vertical risers, shelves, or a small tabletop banner stand.
-
A retractable banner stand (typically 33″ or 85cm wide) can fit behind you if space allows.
-
-
Essentials:
-
Payment system: Mobile card reader (Square, etc.) with charged battery pack.
-
Lighting: Battery-powered LED puck lights or a small lamp—hallways are often dim.
-
Supplies: Cash box, business cards, brochures, tablecloth (custom color/branding), extension cord if you purchase power.
-
-
Merchandise: Organize products neatly. Consider a tiered display to maximize table space.
Critical Questions for the Organizer
-
“Is electricity available for purchase?” If yes, order it in advance.
-
“What are the exact display rules?” (Backdrop height? Can I use the wall behind me? Can anything extend into the hallway aisle?)
-
“What are the load-in/load-out logistics?” (Service elevator access, dock location, specific times.)
-
“Is there reliable Wi-Fi for transactions, or should I plan on using a mobile hotspot?”
Hallway-Specific Tips
-
Aisle Traffic: Do not let your display obstruct the main walkway.
-
Noise Level: Keep music or demonstrations low—sound carries in hallways.
-
Engagement: Stand in front of or to the side of your table to be approachable in the tight space.
Bottom line: This is a compact, table-focused booth. Prioritize a clean, elevated tabletop display, bring your own power/lighting if needed, and always confirm every detail with the event organizer, as hotel rules are often strict.
