Venue-specific rules at KICC or Kenyatta International Convention Centre Nairobi

KICC has specific layout rules depending on whether you have a basic pre-made stall or a custom-built space.

• Maximum Wall Height: For custom-built stands (Bare Space Booths), your walls must not be higher than 3 meters. Going above this height can block hall lights or safety signs and is strictly rejected by inspectors.

• Keep it Open: To make sure people can walk and see easily down the aisles, the open sides of your booth cannot be completely blocked off by high walls. Your main custom walls should not cover more than 50% of the booth’s outer border.

• Shell Scheme Stalls: If your booth is 20 square meters or smaller, you must use the standard shell scheme framework. You are not allowed to drill holes, paint, or make permanent structural changes directly to the venue's aluminum poles or plastic walls.

Safety is the top priority for any massive indoor gathering in Nairobi.

• Fire-Resistant Finishes: All fabrics, curtains, carpets, and wooden structures used inside the exhibition halls must be treated with fire-retardant sprays. Highly flammable materials like cheap plastics, toxic paints, or loose straw are dangerous and banned.

• Clear Walkways: No part of your booth—including trash cans, pull-up banners, or product boxes—is allowed to spill out into the walking aisles. All emergency exit paths must stay completely clear at all times.

• The Venue Rule: Booths must be completely built and cleaned up within the tight move-in schedules before the public enters.

• How Prime Fabricators fixes it: We manage all transport, loading permits, and overnight builds directly from our workshop to the KICC floor, delivering a clean, fully polished booth right on time.
