West Tower, third floor NFB Exhibit Area orientation map 2005

ROOM OVERVIEW: The Archibald-Cochran ballroom on the third floor of the Galt House West Tower is a large rectangle with 2 entrances near the middle of the long east wall. To visit every table of outside exhibitors and NFB affiliates in this hall, you need to make 3 circuits: the outer wall (tables 1 to 69), and A-Square (tables A70 to A101), and B-Square (tables B102 to B131). Enter by the doors to the left as you face the hall (south entrance), and walk straight ahead to find A-Square; or enter from the doors to the right (north entrance), and walk straight ahead to find B-Square. The 2 squares have an aisle between them which dissects the center of the hall.

Outer wall recognition points:
· South entrance: GW Micro (table 69) on your left, and NFB Info (table 1) on your right.
· North entrance: NFB-NEWSLINE® (table 7) on your left; NFB-DC (table 8) on your right.
· East wall: As you enter the hall through the room's east wall, tables 60 to 69 are on your left; tables 1 to 7 between the two entrances; tables 8 to 13 on your right, and HumanWare straight ahead in A-Square. To examine tables against the wall in numerical order, face the wall and move to your left.
· North wall: tables 14 to 25, begins with NFB-NJ and ends with NFB-OH.
· West wall: tables 26 to 48, with NASA in the middle at tables 33 to 38.
