The most literal audience in exhibiting: 11,000 people who study what the eye notices.
Fixed-price ARVO exhibits — design, fabrication, graphics, freight, installation and dismantle in one number that doesn’t move. Pre-built, lit and photo-approved before it ships, so what stands up in San Diego has already stood up once, under lights, on our floor.
Filters the booths below — every one shows its San Diego price.
ARVO’s floor is walked by researchers and clinician-scientists between paper sessions and poster rows — people who decide in seconds whether your booth is worth a detour and who see straight through decoration. The work below is what we build for brands whose product has to be demonstrated, not just displayed: custom structures designed around the instrument, the imaging station, the conversation — with every project moving through one team from first rendering to dismantle.
Radware
Hands-on learning stations — the format that wins with a technical, evidence-first crowd.
Teramind
1,800 sq ft island with interactive demo zones — the same layout logic works for instrument and imaging demos.
SpyCloud
Interactive stations arranged for one-to-one conversation — how investigator discussions actually happen.
WillowTree
Meeting-led layout with enclosed rooms off an open front — built for KOL and partner meetings.
Microsoft
Modular island scaled across a multi-show programme — one structure, a full congress calendar.
Fulcrum GT
Full-height LED as the structure — large-format imaging and data deserve a large-format canvas.
Appdome
Demo theatre built for high-volume technical traffic between sessions.
IMAX
Large-format island built around a viewing experience — controlled light, controlled sightlines.
The exhibit hall at ARVO lives inside a five-day scientific programme — attendees surge through between paper sessions and poster blocks rather than browsing all day. Your booth competes with the programme, not just with the aisle. The most expensive ARVO mistake isn’t a bad booth; it’s a booth planned like a buyer’s show when the traffic behaves like a conference.
A single waterfront building with contiguous halls — simpler than a multi-campus show, but freight still runs through a marshalling yard and scheduled dock targets, and the floors run on contracted union labour. We book the freight window, hit the target time and supervise the crew, so the venue’s rhythm is our problem, not yours.
When sessions let out, the hall fills fast and empties just as fast. That rewards a booth readable in three seconds from the aisle, with a demo that starts in thirty — an imaging station running, not a brochure rack. We design for the pulse: clear message high, working demo front, conversation space one step deeper.
A May show means the advance-order window for show services closes in early spring — roughly eight weeks out, and the exact date is in the facts strip at the top of this page. Miss it and everything the venue bills you jumps to floor rates. Our timeline is built so every order files early, never at the desk on move-in day.
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.
Exhibit-house invoices grow in predictable ways: labour hours over estimate, revisions rebilled as change orders, graphics reprints, supervision time nobody flagged. 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.
Design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, lighting, freight, installation, dismantle and project management in a single fixed price.
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.
Space, electrical, drayage and rigging calculated for your exact booth before you commit — so the total is a number, not a range.
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.
Every booth below is priced for San Diego and available as a custom build for your brand — rented, not bought. Use the finder at the top of the page to narrow by size and budget.

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 cutoff exists to protect it: a design still moving in March is a booth paying floor rates in May.
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.
“They never just build the booth and disappear — I always know I have someone on call and ready to jump in when the unexpected inevitably happens. That level of responsiveness makes a huge difference in high-pressure event environments.”
“I’ve worked with Pure Exhibits for almost a year now, and have had such a great experience! They are our go-to for trade shows, and create memorable booths that represent our brand well. The team is incredibly responsive and reliable.”
“It’s always a pleasure to work with Utsav. The process is simple, straightforward, and high quality. I have worked with them for 3 years now and will continue!”
“Their team is incredibly flexible throughout the design process and truly collaborative in bringing ideas to life. I highly recommend Pure Exhibits to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and experienced exhibit partner.”
