Los Angeles Trade Show Booth Rentals

Designed to LA’s standard. Priced like a contract.

Custom exhibits for the country’s most design-literate show floors on one fixed, contractual number — design through dismantle, signed before we start and unchanged when it ends. The venue’s own charges get estimated against your booth before you commit, so the total isn’t a discovery.

Why design-first fits Los Angeles

Booth design that survives the most design-literate floor in America

Exhibit at the LA Convention Center and your neighbors are brands whose day job is production design — studios, beauty houses, automakers, health-tech companies staffed by people who art-direct for a living. A template booth with your logo swapped in reads instantly as exactly that, and the audience walks past it fluently.

So every rental here starts as a custom 3D design built around your brand, your products and your hall position — revised until you approve, at no charge, because our designers and our builders are the same in-house team. Then the finished booth stands complete in our shop and you approve photographs of it before it ships to California. What you art-directed is what opens.

01

Designed, not templated

A 3D concept built for your brand and footprint — unlimited revision rounds inside the fixed price, so the design conversation ends when you’re satisfied, not when the meter runs out.

02

Designer and builder, one team

No hand-off to a third-party shop. The person who drew the reveal detail works forty feet from the person cutting it — which is why revisions move in days and the render matches the build.

03

Finish that reads up close

Seams, cable management, lighting temperature, print color — the details a design-trained audience checks first are the details our pre-build photo approval exists to verify.

04

Built to the hall

South Hall’s 40-foot ceilings reward height and hanging signs; Kentia’s lower clearances punish them. We design to your assigned hall from the first rendering, not after the floor plan surprises you.

The second invoice

The delta your post-show audit always finds

Run the numbers on most exhibit projects after the show and the same delta appears: final spend versus approved quote, up a quarter or more. The venue didn’t cause it — venue charges are tariffed and predictable. The exhibit house did, in hourly labour that “ran over,” design help re-billed as change orders, and reprints priced like emergencies. One 20×20 island in Los Angeles, both ways:

Typical exhibit house
Quoted before you signed$29,000
Install & dismantle labour overrun+ $3,400
Change orders from design rounds+ $2,400

Exactly the quote

On the venue’s invoice in both scenarios: space, electrical, drayage, rigging, cleaning, internet — the show’s charges, tariffed and identical whoever builds for you. A vendor who “includes” them has buried them. We forecast each line for your booth up front and place the orders before the advance-rate window closes.

We quote higher and cost less. Audit us on it — the final invoice matching the quote is the deliverable.

LA Convention Center · 1201 S Figueroa

One campus, two buildings. The hall decides the design.

The LACC is really two connected buildings holding 720,000 square feet of exhibit space across five halls — and they are different rooms. Ceiling heights, column lines and dock access change hall to hall, so the first thing we confirm on any LA project is which one you’re in. The design follows from the answer.

South Hall

346,890 sq ft · halls G/H/J/K · 40 ft ceilings

The big room, running as one space or dividing into three. Sightlines carry a long way under forty-foot ceilings — hanging signs and tall central structures earn their cost here, and an island reads from three aisles out.

West Hall

210,685 sq ft · A/B · virtually column-free

The cleanest floor in the building for large islands and open plans — thirty-six-foot ceilings and almost no columns to design around. Premium consumer shows and exhibitions favor it, and open-layout builds shine.

Kentia, Concourse & Petree

160,000 sq ft lower level · 26,342 sq ft each

Kentia sits below South Hall with lower clearances — a real design constraint on height and rigging that we build to from the first rendering. Concourse and Petree run focused shows of roughly 100–135 booths where graphics do the heavy lifting.

What we run for you here
  • Hall confirmation before anything books
  • Floor plan filings and venue approvals
  • Dock target times scheduled to the current campus plan
  • Electrical, rigging and drayage ordered at advance rates
  • COI and contractor paperwork per venue
  • Supervised install, show-day support, dismantle
The expansion · exhibiting through it

Ground broke in late 2025 on the LACC’s $2.6 billion expansion — 190,000 sq ft of new exhibit space bridging South and West over Pico Boulevard, aimed at the 2028 Olympics. Through 2026 that means an active construction footprint on campus: freight routing, marshalling and dock access can shift show to show, and move-in windows forgive less than the exhibitor kit implies. We plan to the current show-specific logistics map rather than last year’s habits, file targets early, and pad the install schedule — at no change to the fixed price, because install labour is already inside it.

The consumer-show problem

At LA’s consumer shows, the booth is really a crowd machine

LA’s calendar peaks with consumer-scale events — the Auto Show’s public days alone put general-admission crowds through the halls for over a week. Exhibitors who bring a lead-capture B2B layout to a consumer floor watch it fail by lunchtime: pinch points jam, staff drown, and the experience people came for never gets room to happen.

The design brief that follows: throughput first. Open sightlines and multiple entry faces instead of one gated front; experience zones that absorb a crowd rather than a demo desk that queues one; durable finishes specified for thousands of touches, not hundreds; and staff positions designed into the plan so your team works the room instead of guarding it. B2B days and public days can run on the same structure — if it was designed for both from the start.

01

Multiple entry faces

Islands open on three or four sides move crowds through instead of stacking them at a doorway. Flow is designed on the floor plan, not improvised on show day.

02

Experience over desk

Product interaction zones, photo-worthy moments and self-guided discovery absorb consumer traffic at scale — with lead capture built where the conversation naturally lands.

03

Built for ten thousand touches

Consumer floors punish delicate finishes. We specify surfaces, fixings and cable protection for public-day wear — so day nine looks like day one.

Exhibiting across California? Anaheim, Long Beach, San Diego and San Francisco run on the same published fixed model — one booth design, one project manager, and every city’s price known before your year starts.

In their words

When to start, by show

LA’s fixed points, with the planning runway each realistically needs. Around these, the LACC carries hundreds of rotating meetings and exhibitions a year — name yours and we’ll pull its manual before we quote. For the full picture, see our guide to the top trade shows in Los Angeles.

The Auto Show gets six months, not four — consumer-scale builds carry more structure and durability engineering than display booths, the whole campus’s services book up in the same window, and through 2026 the expansion construction makes early freight planning worth real money.

Working backwards

The calendar that matters runs in reverse

Show dates don’t create cost pressure — order deadlines do, and the decisive one closes roughly eight weeks out, when advance rates on electrical, rigging and drayage expire. Everything else in the plan exists to arrive at that gate comfortably.

−6 MONTHSScope agreed, fixed figure signed, design begins.
−4 MONTHSHall confirmed; layout submitted for approval.
−10 WEEKSArtwork frozen and moved into print.
−8 WEEKSAdvance rates on show services expire. The gate everything aims at.
−4 WEEKSFreight slot and dock time locked to the current campus plan.
−2 WEEKSComplete build stands in our shop; photo sign-off.
SHOW WEEKInstall lands in your window; you arrive to a working booth.
Rush and last-minute

A month out is workable

Late vendor collapse, a show slot that opened up, a budget approved behind schedule — with design, fabrication and print in one building, a Los Angeles booth can go approval-to-floor in about four weeks. Same quality gate (built and photographed before shipping), same printed price. Compressed timelines are our scheduling problem, not your surcharge.

  • Roughly four weeks, approval to show floor
  • Photo-verified pre-build, even on rush
  • 10×10 through 20×40 on compressed timelines
  • The published price holds — no rush premium
Questions exhibitors actually ask

Los Angeles booth rental FAQs

How much does a trade show booth rental cost in Los Angeles?
The table above is the answer: $14,000–$16,000 for a 10×10 through $63,000–$74,500 for a 30×40 — design, build, graphics, freight, crews and management in one contractual figure. The venue bills space, electrical, drayage and rigging separately to every exhibitor; we forecast those lines for your booth before you sign.
Do I see the booth design before I commit?
Yes — a photorealistic 3D design revised until you approve, at no charge. Then the finished booth stands complete in our shop and you sign off on photographs of it before it ships to Los Angeles. The design conversation happens before the money conversation closes, not after.
Is freight to Los Angeles included?
Round trip, inside the fixed price, never a line item. And because your booth stands complete for photo approval before it ships, what reaches the dock is a verified build rather than a kit of parts and hope.
How does the LACC expansion construction affect my show?
The $2.6B expansion is under construction on campus through the 2028 Olympics window, so freight routing, marshalling and dock access can vary show to show through 2026. We plan to each show’s current logistics map, file target times early, and pad the install schedule — at no change to your fixed price, because install labour is already inside it.
Does it matter which LACC hall my booth is in?
Considerably. South Hall’s 40-foot ceilings reward height and hanging signs; West Hall’s column-free floor suits open plans; Kentia’s lower-level clearances constrain both. We confirm your hall before design starts and build to its realities from the first rendering.
Should I rent a booth or buy one?
Buy if you exhibit the same footprint six-plus times a year and can store, refurbish and re-crate it between shows. Otherwise ownership quietly bills you year-round while a rental prices the whole job per show and changes size as your calendar does. We build for purchase too — tell us your show calendar and we’ll run both numbers honestly.
What makes a consumer-show booth different from a B2B booth?
Throughput. Public-day crowds need multiple entry faces, experience zones that absorb traffic, durable finishes specified for thousands of touches, and staffing positions designed into the plan. A B2B lead-capture layout jams by lunchtime on a consumer floor — we design for the audience your show actually admits.
Can you build double-deck booths at the LACC?
Yes, for footprints from 30×30 up, in halls whose clearances allow it — another reason hall confirmation comes first. Two-storey builds add structural drawings, venue engineering review and rigging coordination, all of which we run.
Will a rental read as custom on the floor?
The structure is modular; every surface a visitor sees — graphics, lighting, finishes, layout — is designed for your brand. The gallery above is all rentals. You judge for yourself before it ships, from photographs of your actual booth standing in our shop.
Do you also cover Anaheim, Long Beach and San Diego?
All of California, on the same published fixed model — one booth design, one project manager, and a known price in each city, so a multi-show California year budgets in a single sitting. Anaheim, Long Beach, San Diego and San Francisco each have their own page with local pricing.
Who’s with us during move-in and the show?
Our install supervisor runs your move-in window on the floor, and your project manager stays reachable through every show day. Pre-verified builds make move-in quiet — and when the floor produces a surprise anyway, the people who built the booth are the ones responding.
