Pediatric dentists judge everything clinically — including your booth.

The kind of booth a clinical audience stops for

AAPD attendees are pediatric dentists, residents and the teams who run their practices — people who evaluate a product the way they evaluate a technique: hands on, up close, with questions. The work below is what we build for brands that sell on demonstration: custom structures designed around the product trial and the conversation, with every project moving through one team from first rendering to dismantle.

Know the floor before you plan the booth

Planning for Washington DC before the venue is named

AAPD 2027 lands in Washington DC with the venue to be announced — the facts strip at the top of this page updates automatically the moment it’s confirmed. That’s not a reason to wait. Everything that makes a booth good — the design, the fabrication, the fixed price — is venue-independent. Only the logistics change, and logistics are exactly the part we run for you.

DC logistics, venue TBA

The facts strip updates automatically

Washington DC is a union-labour town with tight downtown docks and marshalling-yard freight no matter which building AAPD names. We’ve built for every major DC venue, so the day the announcement drops we re-run your freight routing, labour plan and show-services estimate — and nothing about your design or your fixed price has to move.

The AAPD floor

Clinicians between CE sessions

Exhibit-hall traffic at AAPD comes in bursts — dentists and their teams move through between courses and lectures, and they stop for booths that let them put hands on a product in minutes. A layout built around the demo, with sightlines that read from the aisle, out-earns a bigger booth built around furniture.

The late-May calendar

Memorial Day sits on your timeline

The show runs into Memorial Day weekend, which means move-in planning, freight windows and final production all land in the weeks when carriers and crews book out early. The advance-order deadline — the exact date is in the facts strip above — is the line between advance rates and floor rates on every show service.

What we handle at AAPD
  • Venue-ready design — re-costed the day the DC venue is announced
  • Layout submission and show approval, filed early
  • Electrical, rigging and material handling calculated and filed at advance rates
  • Union labour coordination and on-site supervision
  • COI, EAC and exhibitor-manual deadlines mapped to our calendar
  • Dock target times, dismantle, pack and outbound freight
Billed by the show, not by us

Booth space, electrical, drayage, rigging, cleaning and internet are billed to every exhibitor directly by the show and venue — no exhibit house can absorb them and none should claim to. What we do is calculate them for your exact booth before you commit, and file every order at advance rather than floor rates.

  • Electrical drops and floor distribution
  • Material handling (drayage)
  • Rigging, if you’re hanging a sign

Why a fixed price matters most here

The budget you present this fall should survive to show week

Trade-show invoices grow in the gaps: labour hours over estimate, revisions rebilled as change orders, graphics reprints, supervision time nobody flagged — and a venue announcement is exactly the kind of gap a variable quote hides in. Our model is the opposite — the number you approve is the number you pay, contractually. Design revisions are unlimited until you approve. The quote and the final invoice are the same document.

01

One number, and it holds

Design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, lighting, freight, installation, dismantle and project management in a single fixed price.

02

Proven before it ships

Your booth stands fully assembled and lit at our 65,000 sq ft facility, and you approve photographs of the actual build — not a render.

03

Show costs, known up front

Space, electrical, drayage and rigging calculated for your exact booth before you commit — and recalculated the day the DC venue is announced, so the total stays a number, not a range.

04

The paperwork is ours

COI, EAC, electrical, rigging, freight windows — filed at advance rates, mapped to every exhibitor-manual deadline. Nothing lands on your desk three days before it’s due.

We quote higher and cost less. That’s the whole argument, and it’s why every booth below is published with its price rather than hidden behind a “request a quote” form.

Working backwards from May 2027

Your real deadline is in early April

The advance-order cutoff lands roughly eight weeks before the show — the exact date is in the facts strip at the top of this page, and it updates automatically each edition. Everything upstream of that date is where the money is saved: a locked design, filed advance orders and a booth already built and photographed while other exhibitors are still trading revision emails.

Five questions to ask anyone quoting your AAPD booth

Put these to every exhibit house you’re comparing — including us. They separate the vendors that stand behind a number from the ones whose estimate is an opening position. Our answers are printed here so you can hold us to them.

1 Will you put the total price in writing before I sign — and hold it? Ours: yes. Every booth on this page is published with its price. The quote and the final invoice are the same number, contractually. Printed above · hold us to it
2 Do design revisions become change orders? Ours: never. Revisions are unlimited until you approve, and the price is locked before design starts — a better idea in March costs nothing.
3 Will I see my actual booth before it ships — or a render? Ours: the actual booth, fully assembled and lit at our facility, photographed for your sign-off before it ships to Washington DC. Renders are promises; photographs are evidence.
4 Who files my advance show orders, and at which rate? Ours: we do, at advance rates, mapped to every exhibitor-manual deadline. The advance-versus-floor spread is real money in a union town like DC — if a vendor can’t answer this immediately, that’s your answer.
5 The venue hasn’t been announced. How can you quote me a real total? Ours: the booth price is fixed now — it doesn’t depend on the building. The client-direct show costs are estimated from DC venue norms today and recalculated the day the venue is announced, before you’ve committed to anything. The facts strip above updates automatically.

Questions AAPD exhibitors actually ask

AAPD booth rental FAQs

How much does an AAPD booth rental cost?
Every booth on this page is published with its Washington DC price — fixed and covering design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, freight, labour coordination and project management. Separately, the show and venue bill every exhibitor directly for booth space, electrical, drayage, rigging, cleaning and internet; we calculate those for your exact booth before you commit, so the total is known before you sign anything.
When should I book a booth for the AAPD Annual Session?
Work backwards from the advance-order deadline, which lands roughly eight weeks before the show — the exact date is in the facts strip at the top of this page and updates automatically. Starting in the fall gives you full design freedom; a locked design by early spring means every show order files at advance rather than floor rates.
The venue hasn’t been announced yet. Should I wait to plan my booth?
No — and waiting is the expensive move. Your booth’s design, fabrication and fixed price are the same in any building; only freight routing and show-services estimates change with the venue. We design and lock your price now, estimate show costs from DC venue norms, and re-run the numbers the day the venue is announced — the facts strip at the top of this page updates automatically when it is.
What does the fixed price include — and what does it never include?
Included: design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, lighting, freight, installation, dismantle and project management — one number, contractually held. Never included, by anyone: booth space, electrical, drayage, rigging, cleaning and internet, which the show and venue bill every exhibitor directly. We calculate those up front for your exact booth and file the orders at advance rates so there’s no surprise line item after the show.
Will a rental look custom, or will it look reused?
Every booth is fabricated for your brand — custom graphics, layout, lighting and finishes on a modular structure underneath. The builds shown above are rentals. Before yours ships, it stands fully assembled and lit at our 65,000 sq ft facility and you approve photographs of the actual booth, not a render.
Can I install the booth myself to save on labour?
Washington DC show floors run on contracted union labour, and show rules govern who may build what. Either way it isn’t your problem to arrange: labour coordination and on-site supervision are inside our fixed price, with orders filed at advance rather than floor rates.
What happens if something goes wrong during move-in?
Your project manager and our install supervisor are on site through move-in and reachable across show days. Because everything was assembled and checked before shipping, the problems that usually surface at this stage — missing hardware, graphics that don’t fit, panels that won’t seat — have already been found and fixed on our floor, weeks earlier.
A vendor just fell through. How fast can you deliver an AAPD booth?
Four to six weeks from approval to show floor for complete pre-built, photo-verified booths from 10×10 through 20×40 — at the same fixed price as a six-month lead time, with no rush surcharge. The earlier you call, the more of that window sits ahead of the advance-order deadline in the facts strip above.
Do you handle events off the show floor — suites, receptions, satellite events?
Yes — hotel suites, meeting spaces and satellite activations around the show run under the same fixed-price model, coordinated by the same project manager as your booth. In a conference city like Washington DC, that’s often where the practice-owner and DSO conversations actually close.
