ConnexFM National Conference · Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center · National Harbor, MD

ConnexFM Trade Show Booth Rentals

The people walking this floor sign multi-site contracts. Your booth is the first proof you can deliver.

Fixed-price ConnexFM 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 the booth that greets facilities decision-makers at Gaylord National has already stood up once, on our floor.

Know the floor before you plan the booth

ConnexFM lives inside a resort. That changes the logistics.

ConnexFM 2027 runs at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center on the Potomac — a resort property, not a standalone convention campus. Sessions, the expo hall and the attendees’ hotel rooms all sit under one roof, which is great for booth traffic and unforgiving for freight. The most expensive ConnexFM mistake isn’t a bad booth; it’s a booth planned as if this were an ordinary convention center.

Gaylord National — resort rules

One roof · shared docks · tight windows

A resort convention center runs its exhibit halls around a working hotel: loading docks are shared, move-in windows are scheduled tightly, and freight that misses its slot waits. We plan the delivery, dock target and install sequence to the venue’s actual schedule — and because the booth arrives pre-built and pre-tested, our crews need hours in the hall, not days.

A floor where everyone is seen

180+ exhibitors · 2,200+ attendees

This isn’t a mega-show where whole aisles go unwalked. With 180+ exhibitors and 2,200+ facilities professionals, nearly every attendee passes nearly every booth — which means you’re compared directly, side by side, against every competitor in your category. Design here is about being the booth a multi-site director remembers when the RFP goes out.

Planning around “dates TBA”

Venue announced · dates to follow

The 2027 venue is confirmed; the dates aren’t yet. That’s no reason to wait — every deadline in exhibiting is relative to the show week, so the plan can be built now and pinned to the calendar the day dates land. The facts strip at the top of this page pulls from our shows database and updates automatically the moment ConnexFM announces.

What we handle at ConnexFM
  • Venue-specific design — sightlines planned for your actual placement
  • Layout submission and show approval, filed early
  • Electrical, rigging and material handling orders filed at advance rates
  • 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 and cleaning 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.

  • Booth space
  • Electrical drops and floor distribution
  • Material handling (drayage)
  • Rigging, if you’re hanging a sign
  • Daily cleaning · internet
Why a fixed price matters most here

The budget you approve at kickoff should survive to the show floor

Facilities people know exactly how this movie usually ends: 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.

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 — so the total is 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 the show week

Your real deadline is eight weeks before move-in

ConnexFM 2027 dates haven’t been announced yet — the facts strip at the top of this page pulls from our shows database and will show them the moment they land. But the plan doesn’t wait on the announcement, because every deadline that matters is relative to the show week. Here is the timeline we run for every ConnexFM exhibitor, counted backwards from move-in.

6+ MO OUTBrief, concepts and the fixed price locked. Full design freedom.
~4 MO OUTLayout submitted for show approval — placement confirmed.
~3 MO OUTGraphics finalised and sent to production.

Take this to every vendor

Five questions to ask anyone quoting your ConnexFM 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 two weeks later 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 ever ships east. 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 at any show — if a vendor can’t answer this immediately, that’s your answer.
5 The 2027 dates aren’t announced yet. How do you plan around that? Ours: we plan backwards from the show week — every milestone above is relative, so your design, budget and approvals can all be locked now. The day ConnexFM announces, the plan pins to the calendar and the advance orders go in early, not scrambled.

Questions ConnexFM exhibitors actually ask

ConnexFM booth rental FAQs

How much does a ConnexFM booth rental cost?
Every booth on this page is published with its National Harbor 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 and cleaning; we calculate those for your exact booth before you commit, so the total is known before you sign anything.
ConnexFM 2027 dates aren’t announced yet. Should I wait to start?
No — the venue is confirmed, and every exhibiting deadline is relative to the show week, so the whole plan can be built now: design locked, fixed price approved, graphics staged. The facts strip at the top of this page pulls from our shows database and updates automatically the moment ConnexFM announces dates; when it does, your plan pins to the calendar and your advance orders go in on day one instead of at the deadline.
What’s different about exhibiting at the Gaylord National?
It’s a resort convention center — the exhibit hall, meeting rooms and attendees’ hotel rooms share one property on the Potomac at National Harbor, just outside Washington DC. That’s excellent for booth traffic, since attendees never leave the building, but it means shared docks, scheduled move-in windows and freight rules that differ from a standalone convention center. We plan the delivery, dock target and install sequence to the venue’s actual schedule, and because the booth arrives pre-built and pre-tested, our crews need hours in the hall, not days.
What booth size works at ConnexFM?
With 180+ exhibitors, ConnexFM’s floor rewards clarity over sheer scale — 10×10 and 10×20 inlines carry real weight here, and a 20×20 island puts you among the largest presences in the hall. Whatever the footprint, the job is the same: one message readable from the aisle, and a layout that turns a walk-past into a conversation. The size chips above open the catalog already filtered to your footprint with National Harbor pricing.
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?
Show floors run under the venue’s and show’s labour rules, which 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 show 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 a ConnexFM 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. Late orders the show bills at floor rates are calculated and disclosed before you commit, so even a rescue project starts with a known total.
Do you handle meetings and events off the show floor — suites, dinners, activations?
Yes — and at a resort venue like the Gaylord National this matters more than usual, since the meeting spaces and restaurants where deals actually close are steps from the hall. Hospitality suites, meeting rooms and satellite activations run under the same fixed-price model, coordinated by the same project manager as your booth.
