The Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) is the heart of major trade shows and international expos in Nairobi. Whether you are setting up in the massive Tsavo Ballroom, the Comesa Grounds, or the Courtyard, KICC has strict rules to keep everyone safe and ensure events run smoothly.
If you are a business building a stand or booth at KICC, breaking these venue rules can lead to heavy fines, delays, or security stopping your build entirely.
To help your business prepare for a stress-free event, here is a simple guide to the official exhibition rules and layout guidelines at KICC 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.
Getting power to your lights, computers, and display screens is a major part of your setup. KICC monitors electrical setups very carefully to prevent fire hazards.
Approved Wiring Only: All electrical wiring must be done neatly, using properly insulated cables. Exposed or taped wires are completely banned.
No Loose Cables: Any cables running across the floor where people walk must be covered by heavy-duty rubber floor protectors to prevent visitors from tripping.
Power Limits: Every booth space is assigned a specific power limit. Connecting too many high-power machines or heavy lights into a single socket will trip the hall breakers and disrupt your neighbors.
Timing is everything when setting up an expo in the middle of Nairobi's busy Central Business District (CBD).
The Setup Window: The event organizers will give you a specific "Move-In" schedule—often starting 24 to 48 hours before the show opens. Heavy construction and painting must be finished before the final walkthrough.
Nairobi Traffic Strategy: Because KICC is located along Harambee Avenue, delivery trucks faces tight city traffic and strict parking rules. Plan your structural transport for early mornings or late nights.
The Cleanup Rule: Once the trade show closes, exhibitors must clear out all their materials within the specified "Move-Out" window. Leaving broken wood, trash, or broken displays behind will attract disposal penalties from the venue management.

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.
Setting up a booth that follows all of KICC's rules while looking unique and high-end can be overwhelming, especially on a tight deadline. One small mistake can cost your business valuable time and money on opening morning.
At Prime Fabricators Group, we know the KICC venue inside out. We design, fabricate, and install exhibition stands that comply perfectly with all venue height, electrical, and safety rules, so you can focus entirely on your clients.
