Dave, you are likely thinking of the old UBC Standard 9-1 that had table 1.4.7 with all sorts of occupancies correlated with NFPA hazard classifications. That table indeed allowed an exhibition hall to be OH2. I ran into this when I "Plan Not Approved" the exhibition hall designed for OH2 years ago, the contractor pointed out that they met 9-1, but the owner ended up agreeing that such a design was inappropriate for things such as the boat show, RV show, Home show etc. They ended up at EH2.

This may be Monday morning dyslexia, or it may just be poor memory. Does this ring any bells?
