Note that booths G36 and G38 have no electricity access. All other booths can be supplied with T13 (220V) power supply. Selected booths have access to increased power supply (CEE32 or T25). Review the STCC website, the virtual venue guide and consult available floor plans for Campus and Garden level as well as construction rules given in the Exhibitor Manual before booking your space.
