Most exhibitors spend the bulk of their booth budget on structure and graphics, then choose their backdrop last — or worse, default to whatever the show’s general service contractor offers at the standard rate. The result is a display element that handles 80 percent of an attendee’s first impression while receiving 20 percent of the […]
Your booth sits on bare concrete for three to five days, and your staff stands on it for eight hours at a time — yet flooring is the last line item most exhibitors think about. The wrong choice means staff fatigue, an uninviting booth surface that repels attendees, and sometimes a safety citation from show […]
Most first-time exhibitors spend too much money on the wrong things and too little time on the decisions that determine whether the show generates leads or just costs a budget line. You book a 10×10 space, order a booth, show up — and spend three days watching attendees walk past while neighboring exhibitors have continuous […]
Las Vegas hosts over 20,000 conventions annually across six major venues. If you’re exhibiting in Vegas, you need to know which venue hosts your show, what the ceiling height is, whether it’s union or non-union, and what the advance warehouse deadline looks like. Plan 60 to 120 days ahead depending on show size. This guide […]
Las Vegas is the single most competitive trade show market in the United States. More major shows are held here than in any other city — CES alone draws 140,000+ attendees and 4,000+ exhibitors to the Las Vegas Convention Center each January. SEMA fills the LVCC with 2,400+ exhibitors in November. NAB Show, Pack Expo […]
The 10×10 and 10×20 are the two most common inline booth sizes on the trade show floor. Combined, they account for the majority of exhibit space bookings at shows like CES, HIMSS, Pack Expo, SEMA, and NAB. The decision between them is one of the most frequent questions exhibitors face when planning a new show […]
For most companies entering the trade show circuit — or rethinking their exhibit program after years of ownership — the rent vs. buy decision feels more complicated than it needs to be. Vendors on both sides frame it in their own interest. The result is a lot of conflicting advice and not enough straightforward analysis. […]
A 10×10 trade show booth is 100 square feet. That is roughly the size of a standard home office. In a convention hall where neighboring exhibitors may be running 20×20 islands with overhead signs, LED video walls, and private meeting rooms, 100 square feet can feel like very little — or it can be enough […]
Atlanta is one of the most active trade show markets in the Southeast. The Georgia World Congress Center — the fourth-largest convention facility in the United States — hosts more than 35 major trade shows annually, including MODEX, the International Woodworking Fair, and rotating healthcare and technology conferences. Exhibitors at these shows compete for floor […]
Houston hosts some of the most competitive trade shows in North America. The Offshore Technology Conference, the Houston Auto Show, and rotating industry events at George R. Brown Convention Center and NRG Center draw exhibitors who need a rental booth that is ready on move-in morning — not still being assembled at 7 a.m. Pure […]
