American Rental Association show officials last week announced that they increased the exhibit space for The Rental Show 2007 by about 5 percent over the 2006 show’s 3,300 booths in Orlando. With the expansion, The Rental Show’s Atlanta show floor will have 3,469 booths.

The expansion is based on attendee requests for additional convenience amenities, such as more seating areas and food stations on the show floor, plus a great early response from exhibitors for the previously available space. After increasing the space, heavy construction is completely sold out, general tool/light construction exhibit space is 95 percent sold, and party/event exhibits space is approximately 70 percent sold.

To accommodate the expansion, the heavy construction and light construction/general tool exhibits will be in Hall B at Atlanta’s Georgia World Congress Center with a convenient skywalk connecting the party and event exhibits, which will be in Hall C.

The Rental Show 2007 is Wednesday, Feb. 7, through Saturday, Feb. 10, in Atlanta at the Georgia World Congress Center.
