GK-5600 and GK-5400 (RE-9132) Gravitee One-Step Island Exhibits
There are two inescapable trends in trade show exhibit design: modular wall systems and LED video walls. Modular wall systems are full-size aluminum extrusion panels designed to hold either direct or fabric print graphics. LED video walls are, well, big video walls built using connected LED panels. The GK-5600 and GK-5400 use both, extensively. The main 60 ft. or 40 ft linear structure is built using Gravitee One-step modular walls. Gravitee assembles without tools and loose parts, making I&D much faster than traditional custom or aluminum extrusion construction. Within the Gravitee framework, there's a 176.5" x 118" LED Video Wall.
The 60 ft islands include two meeting rooms and the 40 ft. has one. The meeting rooms are built with Gravitee, just like the backwall, with the same tool-less assembly. Bothdesigns include Aero Overhead Hanging Signs for maximum exposure throughout the exhibit hall. In addition, there are two "bar" counters with open backs and shelves and podiums with storage and wireless charging pads.
Browse through the island gallery where you'll see a wide range of options and prices. These are meant to generate ideas. There are no cookie cutter designs. We'll design the island exhibit that matches your specific marketing goals and budget.
Many islands are re-configurable to smaller inlines or larger islands. Want to see this island with your branding? No problem. Give us a call or send us an email.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Specifically, what is an Island Exhibit?
Island exhibits are displays bordering 3-4 aisles, with the smallest starting at 20’ x 20’. Inline exhibits, by contrast, typically border 1 or 2 aisles and are usually 10’ x 10’ or 10’ x 20’.A major benefit of island exhibits is that they do not have the same height and perimeter limitations as inline displays.
Note: Hanging signs are permitted above island booths.
- Can an island exhibit be reconfigured into other configurations such as an inline or another island?
Yes and no. It depends on your island and inline design requirements. Most of the time those are close enough for a seamless reconfiguration. Give us a call or send us an email and we’ll show you design examples. Or, we’ll be happy to work on a “ground up” design specific to your marketing goals.
Examples:
- I reserved a 20' x 30' space for our industry show. I need an island, but I don't have the budget to purchase one this year. What are my options?
Renting an island exhibit is the ideal choice in this situation. Renting is affordable, typically 30-40% of a purchase, and we have an extensive gallery of island and inline rental designs.
If you don’t see something you like, no problem. About 50 percent of our rentals are new designs or modifications of existing designs. If it makes sense for you, and it makes sense for us, then we’re happy to create a unique configuration that meets all your trade show marketing requirements. See all your options in the Rental Gallery.Examples:
- I don't see an island that appeals to me or matches my exhibit marketing goals. Can you design one just for me?
Absolutely! When it comes to islands, it's rare that someone purchases a kit "as is." Nearly every island gets tweaked, or we start from scratch based on your requirements.That's the fun part of this process: designing a display that makes your trade show program successful.
Give us a call or send us an email. We'll meet with you to review your trade show marketing requirements, including your budget. Then we'll work together to create an exhibit that maximizes your message and sales potential at your show.
- What are the typical show regulations regarding island (and peninsula) exhibits in the United States?
Typical Island Show RegulationsRegulations vary by exhibit hall but the following are typical: Maximum height of 30' in all areas of your booth allowed in North Hall and Central Halls 3-5. Maximum height of 20' in all areas of your booth is allowed in Central Halls 1-2. Maximum height of 22' in all areas of your booth allowed in South Halls. No limitations on the number of solid walls for your Island booth.
Note: Hanging signs are permitted above island booths.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
Canopies and Ceilings
Canopies, including ceilings, umbrellas and canopy frames, can be either decorative or functional (such as to shade computer monitors from ambient light or for hanging products). Canopies for Linear or Perimeter Booths should comply with line-of-sight requirements.
The bottom of the canopy should not be lower than 7 ft. (2.13m) from the floor within 5 ft. (l.52m) of any aisle. Canopy supports should be no wider than three inches 3 in.(08m). This applies to any booth configuration that has a sight line restriction, such as a Linear Booth. Fire and safety regulations in many facilities strictly govern the use of canopies, ceilings, and other similar coverings. Check with the appropriate local agencies prior to determining specific exhibition rules.
Covered ceiling structures or enclosed rooms, including tents or canopies, shall have one smoke detector placed on the ceiling for every 900 square feet.
Hanging Signs and Graphics
Hanging signs and graphics are permitted upon approval in all standard Peninsula, Island and Split Island Booths, with a maximum height of sixteen feet (16 ft.)(4.87m) to the top of the sign as measured from the floor
Whether suspended from above or supported from below, they should comply with all ordinary use-of-space requirements (for example, the highest point of any sign may not exceed the maximum allowable height for the booth type). Double-sided hanging signs and graphics shall be set back ten feet (10 ft.)(3.05m) from adjacent booths and be directly over contracted space only.
Theatrical Truss and Lighting
Ceiling-supported theatrical truss and lighting are permitted in all standard Peninsula, Island and Spilt Island Booths to a maximum height of twenty feet (20 ft.)(6.1m) where ceiling permits. Ground-supported truss may not exceed the maximum allowable height for the booth type. Logos or graphics are not permitted over the sixteen-foot (l6fl)(4.87m) height restriction and must have four feet (4 ft.)(1.22m) of separation from the top of the sign to the top of the truss.
Exhibitors should adhere to the following suggested minimum guidelines when determining booth lighting:
- No lighting, fixtures, lighting trusses or overhead lighting is allowed outside the boundaries of the exhibit space.
- Exhibitors intending to use hanging light systems must submit drawings to NAMM for approval by the published deadline date.
- Lighting must be directed to the inner confines of the booth space. Lighting must comply with facility rules.
- Lighting which Is potentially harmful, such as lasers or ultraviolet lighting, should comply with facility rules and be approved in writing by exhibition management.
- Lighting that spins, rotates, pulsates, and other specialized lighting effects should be in good taste and not interfere with neighboring Exhibitors or otherwise detract from the general atmosphere of the event.
- Reduced lighting for theater areas should be approved by the exhibition organizer, the utility provider, and the exhibit facility.
