No matter what type of exhibit you have, there will come a time when it reaches the end of its life – it is out of date, damaged, out of brand due to a rebrand, or just taking up valuable storage space. So the question arises: what exactly do you do with that custom-built booth […]
For active event marketers, managing trade show booth storage is a critical factor in protecting exhibit ROI. Custom exhibits represent massive capital investments, yet improper handling, uncontrolled humidity, or poor crate packing between events can cause costly damage, missing hardware, and degraded brand presentation. Executing an effective strategy for booth warehousing requires more than just […]
Managing exhibit shipping is often the most stressful element of trade show preparation. Between strict venue delivery windows, complex Bill of Lading (BOL) paperwork, and the threat of forced freight surcharges at the loading dock, a single delay can derail your entire marketing presence. Understanding how trade show shipping services operate and learning how to […]
Exhibit installation services generally come from one of three sources: the show’s official general contractor (GC), an independent exhibitor-appointed contractor (EAC), or a full-service exhibit company that bundles installation into the booth build itself.

This guide tells you about booth builders versus exhibit houses […]
The process of designing a booth for a Las Vegas show is different from that of fabricating a stand for a local one. The venue is huge, the competition tough, and there are many logistical challenges such as union labor, drayage, and Strip traffic. A correct design at the outset will save money and yield […]
