Our work

Stands built for audiences that arrive by delegation

Colorado’s marquee floors host agencies, primes and ministries alongside trade buyers — audiences that judge an exhibitor on composure as much as content. Everything below came out of our own shop: designed, fabricated, printed and wired by one team, then stood up complete and photographed before shipping. What you approve from abroad is what lands on the floor.

Also built for Genea, Dunnhumby, Chili Piper, LHH, Calm and Spekit.

The international decision

A mountain-time show is far enough. Don’t add an ocean.

For an exhibitor planning from Europe, the Gulf or Asia, a Colorado show already sits at the far end of the logistics map — and every plan that starts with “we’ll ship our stand” makes it farther: export crating, two ocean legs, customs entries, weight-billed handling, and a crate you cannot inspect between your warehouse and the morning it’s meant to open.

Build on this side instead. Your design language carries over — send photos or CAD of the stand your brand runs at home and we rebuild it to US materials and US electrical code — while the crates, the brokers and the transit risk never enter the project at all.

01

Nothing crosses a border

No carnets, no brokerage, no duty questions, no crate in clearance while your show opens. Fabricated, trucked and installed inside one country, on one fixed number.

02

US electrical from the start

Overseas components routinely fail US floor inspection — voltage, plugs, certification marks. Everything we wire is US code from the first cable.

03

Your design, translated

Existing stand drawings become a Colorado build: imperial dimensions, your show’s height and rigging rules, forced changes flagged at render stage.

04

Lighter freight, smaller bills

Material handling bills by weight, and a locally built rental reaches the dock at a fraction of an imported stand’s crated mass — a line we forecast before you sign.

The US show floor, translated

Three terms that decide a Denver budget

Exhibitors arriving from Europe, the Gulf or Asia meet a show-floor system here that has no equivalent at home. The full six-term glossary lives on our Las Vegas exhibition stand page; these are the three that bite hardest here.

Drayage

No equivalent outside North America

The venue’s fee for moving freight from dock to stand space, billed by weight. Unavoidable for everyone, forecastable for anyone honest — we price the line against your actual stand before you commit and file at advance rates.

Show labour

≈ Appointed contractors, per show rules

What exhibitors may build themselves on a Colorado floor is set by each show’s regulations, and a custom island is crew-built work under any of them. Our fixed price carries the crews and supervision, so there’s nothing for you to source.

Feet, not metres

Your 6×9 m is their 20×30

US floor plans sell in feet, and space contracts follow. The pricing table below carries both units — quote your space in whichever your contract uses.

The ocean invoice

Price the crossing before you price the stand

Shipping an owned stand looks free because the stand is paid for. Then the crossing gets priced: crating, two ocean legs, customs, drayage on the loaded weight, and US crews decoding a metric kit against a deadline. For a 6×9 m island, the logistics bill lands within a rounding error of simply building the stand here:

Flying your stand to Denver
Refurbishment & export crating$4,200
Ocean freight, both directions, insured+ $8,800
Customs brokerage / ATA carnet+ $2,400
Drayage on the full crated weight+ $5,400
US crews assembling an unfamiliar metric kit+ $7,100
Electrical rework to pass US inspection+ $2,600
Spent on logistics, not the stand$30,500
Plus transit damage risk you still own

Spent on the stand itself$33,000
Photo-verified before it ships

On the venue’s invoice in both scenarios: space, electrical service, drayage, rigging, cleaning, internet — the show’s own tariffed charges, billed to every exhibitor whoever builds. The difference is the weight the drayage gets billed on, and which side of the comparison forecast those lines before you signed.

Spend the budget on the stand, not the water. One number buys crates on a ship; the other buys a finished stand you approved in photographs before it ever left our shop.

Colorado Convention Center · Front Range venues

A downtown centre, a resort giant, and a symposium in the mountains

Colorado’s exhibiting map runs wider than one building: the Colorado Convention Center anchors downtown Denver’s rotating show calendar, the Gaylord Rockies carries a heavy corporate programme near the airport, and the state’s most international fixture — the Space Symposium — convenes at a Colorado Springs resort with rules unlike any convention hall. The venue on your contract decides the whole plan, so it’s the first thing we read.

Colorado Convention Center

Rotating national shows & congresses

The downtown anchor, hosting a rotation of national shows rather than a fixed marquee calendar — which means every project starts with that show’s manual, and we read it before quoting, not after signing.

Gaylord Rockies & resort venues

Corporate summits · association meetings

A resort convention giant with a year-round corporate calendar and ballroom-style logistics — freight lifts, padded corridors, overnight installs. A different discipline from an exhibit hall, covered by the same fixed price.

The Broadmoor, Colorado Springs

Space Symposium · international delegations

The space industry’s annual gathering runs in a resort campus, not a convention hall — compressed exhibit areas, protocol-heavy attendance and its own access rules. Specialised territory, and part of the same Colorado coverage.

What we run for you here
  • Venue and hall confirmation from your contract before anything books
  • Floor plan filings and venue approvals
  • Dock target times scheduled to the right building
  • Electrical, rigging and drayage ordered at advance rates
  • COI and contractor paperwork per venue
  • Supervised install, show-day support, dismantle
Worth knowing before you plan

Rotation defines Denver’s downtown calendar the way marquee shows define Las Vegas’s — the show that brings you this year may host elsewhere next year. That’s an argument for the rental model twice over: no asset to warehouse between appearances, and a design that rebuilds wherever your calendar goes next.

The delegation problem

When the visitor is a ministry, the stand is a venue

Colorado’s most international audience arrives for the space and defense calendar — agencies, primes, ministries and suppliers from dozens of countries, moving in scheduled delegations rather than browsing crowds. For an exhibitor, that inverts the usual brief: the stand’s job is less to stop traffic than to host, on time and with composure, a sequence of conversations that were arranged weeks ago.

So the design leads with the meeting architecture: a reception point that runs a calendar, rooms with genuine acoustic privacy for conversations that need it, hospitality that can receive a delegation properly — and out front, hardware models and mission content displayed with the engineered restraint this industry reads as credibility.

01

Delegation hosting

Reception, scheduling and hospitality designed as a system — because on these floors, running your meeting calendar smoothly is the brand statement.

02

Model & hardware display

Precision mounts, controlled lighting and sight lines for scale models and flight hardware — museum discipline applied to a commercial floor.

03

Privacy where it counts

Enclosed rooms with real acoustic separation for conversations that range from commercial terms to export-controlled territory — built to be private, not just closed.

Your US calendar runs past Denver? Las Vegas, Chicago, Orlando, Phoenix and fifty more cities run on the same published fixed model — one stand design, one project manager, every city’s price known before your show year starts.

Denver show calendar

When to start, by show

Colorado’s calendar pairs one internationally defining fixture with a downtown rotation that changes year to year — name your show and we’ll confirm its Colorado dates and pull the manual before we quote.

Verify months annually · rotating meetings not listed
ShowTypical monthVenueStart planning
Space SymposiumAprilThe Broadmoor, Colorado Springs5 months
Rotating national shows & congressesVaries by yearColorado Convention Center5 months

The Space Symposium gets five months minimum — resort-campus exhibiting compresses space and sharpens approvals, delegation-hosting stands carry more meeting architecture than display stands, and international attendance adds your own side’s clearances to the calendar.

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. For a team planning across an ocean, the whole project exists to arrive at that gate comfortably, with your only travel being the flight to the show itself.

Rush and last-minute

Short runway, same standard

A rotation that landed on Denver late, a delegation programme confirmed inside the quarter, a vendor who went quiet — mountain-time opportunities rarely arrive with a full runway attached. With design, fabrication and print in one building, approval-to-floor runs about four weeks. Same quality gate — built and photographed before shipping — same published price.

  • Roughly four weeks, approval to show floor
  • Photo-verified pre-build, even on rush
  • 10×10 through 20×40 (3×3 m through 6×12 m) on compressed timelines
  • The published price holds — no rush premium
Questions international exhibitors actually ask

Exhibition stands in Denver — FAQs

How much does an exhibition stand cost in Denver?
The table above is the answer: $13,000 – $15,500 for a 3×3 m (10×10) through $60,500 – $71,500 for a 9×12 m (30×40) — design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, freight, crews and management in one contractual USD figure. The venue bills space, electrical, drayage and rigging separately to every exhibitor; we forecast those lines against your stand before you sign.
We have no US company. Can we still work with you?
Yes — a large share of our clients exhibit in the US with no local presence at all. We invoice the fixed figure in USD to your home-country entity, accept international wire transfer and card, and provide the contract and payment documentation your finance team needs. No US bank account, address or subsidiary required.
Is it really cheaper to build in the US than to ship our stand?
Total both directions of ocean freight, insurance, customs or carnet fees, drayage on the full crated weight, and US labour assembling an unfamiliar metric kit, and the answer is nearly always yes — the comparison above walks through it line by line. The part no spreadsheet captures: a stand damaged mid-ocean weeks before your show has no good outcome. Building locally deletes the risk along with the cost.
Can you rebuild the stand design we use at European shows?
Yes. Send photos or CAD of your existing stand and we rebuild the design to US materials, US electrical code, and the height, rigging and setback rules of your specific show. Most designs translate directly; anything a regulation forces gets flagged at render stage — visible from your desk, months out — not on the show floor.
What is drayage, and is it in your price?
Drayage (material handling) is the venue’s fee for moving freight between dock and stand space, billed by weight and invoiced directly to every exhibitor — no vendor can legitimately include it, and any who claims to has buried it. We forecast the line precisely against your actual stand before you sign, then file inside the advance-rate window. A locally built stand also simply weighs less at the dock than an imported crate, which is the honest way that bill shrinks.
Can our own team build the stand in Colorado?
Each show’s regulations govern what exhibitors may do themselves, and a custom island is crew-built work under any of them — resort venues like the Symposium’s add their own rules on top. Our fixed price already carries the crews and supervision; your team arrives to host, not to build.
We’re exhibiting at the Space Symposium, not in Denver itself. Do you cover that?
Yes — the Symposium runs at a Colorado Springs resort campus rather than a convention hall, with compressed exhibit areas, protocol-heavy attendance and its own access rules, and it’s part of the same Colorado coverage on the same fixed model. Resort-campus exhibiting is a different discipline from a hall; the fixed price carries it either way.
Some of our stand conversations are export-control sensitive. Can the meeting rooms handle that?
We build rooms to be genuinely private — real acoustic separation, solid construction, controlled sight lines — rather than decoratively closed, and we design the layout so sensitive conversations sit away from aisle traffic and open demo zones. Your own compliance rules govern what’s discussed where; our job is making sure the architecture never undermines them.
How do approvals work across time zones?
Mostly asynchronously: renders and revisions move by email on a one-to-two-day cycle, and live calls are scheduled in your morning. The project has two hard checkpoints you can verify from anywhere — approved 3D renders before fabrication, and photographs of your completed, powered stand before it ships to the venue. We run projects with teams across Europe, the Gulf and Asia-Pacific on every major show cycle.
Our US calendar includes other cities. Do you cover them?
More than fifty of them — Las Vegas, Chicago, Phoenix, Orlando, Dallas and beyond, on the same published fixed model. One stand design, one project manager, and a known USD price in each city, so a multi-show US year budgets in a single sitting from your home office — the full directory lives on our US exhibition stand hub.
