The model

The American show floor, without the ocean

Exhibitors from Europe, Asia, the Gulf and Latin America face the same decision in every US city: ship the stand across an ocean — export crating, two freight legs, customs entries, handling billed on every kilogram — or build it on this side. Priced honestly, the crossing usually costs as much as the stand it carries, and delivers a month of transit risk as a bonus.

So we built the alternative into a system: US fabrication in our own shop, your existing design language rebuilt to American materials and electrical code, complete pre-assembly with photo approval before anything ships, and one fixed USD figure per city that your finance team can convert once and sign. The only things that cross an ocean are your team and your product.

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

Send photos or CAD of the stand your brand runs at home; it becomes a US build — imperial dimensions, your show’s rules, forced changes flagged at render stage.

04

One model, every city

The same published fixed-price system in all twenty-four cities below — so a multi-show US year budgets in a single sitting from your home office.

The numbers, in USD, in the open

Fixed and all-inclusive, invoiced in USD to your home-country entity — international wire or card, no US bank account or address required. The figures below are starting points across our friendliest-cost cities; every city page above publishes its exact fixed range, and the difference between the gentlest and priciest markets runs roughly fifteen percent.

The US show floor, translated

Three terms that decide every American budget

The US show-floor system has no equivalent in Europe, the Gulf or Asia — and three of its terms do most of the financial damage to unprepared exhibitors. The full six-term glossary lives on our Las Vegas exhibition stand page.

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, city by city

Who may build what varies from union coastal cities to more flexible Texas floors — but a custom island is crew-built work everywhere. Our fixed price carries the crews and supervision in every city, so there’s nothing for you to source.

Feet, not metres

Your 6×6 m is their 20×20

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

Multi-city programmes

One design, any city on the map

Most international programmes touch America more than once a year — a marquee show here, a rotating congress there, a regional circuit in between. Run as separate projects with separate vendors, that’s a learning curve per city and a surprise per manual. Run on one model, it collapses to a single decision.

The stand design is approved once and rebuilds in any city at that city’s published fixed price. One project manager holds the whole year, carrying your artwork, preferences and floor lessons between stops — and every exhibitor manual gets read by the same people who read the last one.

01

The design is the asset

Approved renders rebuild in any US city — no re-quoting, no redesign fees, no drift in how the brand shows up from one floor to the next.

02

One project manager

The person who ran your first US build runs the rest — with your preferences, artwork and lessons already in hand.

03

Budget the year in one sitting

Every city’s price is published before your show year starts — so the whole US programme goes into one spreadsheet, in USD, from your home office.

In their words

What event managers say after the show

Rush and last-minute

Four weeks out, in any city

A show approved late, a vendor who went quiet, a crate stuck at a foreign port — the international emergencies follow a pattern, and they end the same way in every city: a stand is needed on an American floor in weeks, not months. 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 the USA — FAQs

How much does an exhibition stand cost in the USA?
Across our cities and footprints, fixed all-inclusive figures run from $12,500 for a 3×3 m (10×10) in the friendliest markets to $78,000 for a 9×12 m (30×40) in the priciest — design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, freight, crews and management in one contractual USD figure. Each city page above publishes its exact range; the venue bills space, electrical, drayage and rigging separately to every exhibitor, and 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 — every city page above walks the comparison line by line for its own market. 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.
Which US city should we exhibit in first?
Wherever your buyers are — the show matters more than the city. But when the choice is genuinely open, we point first-timers toward the gentler entries: San Diego’s single-building bayfront venue, Orlando’s visitor-built infrastructure, or Miami for Latin American brands whose working day overlaps ours. Tell us your industry and objectives and we’ll answer honestly, including recommending a city this page makes no money on.
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 you rebuild the stand design we use at European or Asian 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.
We exhibit in several US cities a year. How does that work?
As one programme: the design is approved once, each city carries its own published fixed price, and the same project manager runs every stop — artwork, preferences and floor lessons carried forward automatically. You budget the whole US year in a single sitting and sign one known number per city, with no re-quoting between 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, Asia-Pacific and Latin America on every major show cycle.
Who actually builds the stand on site?
Professional crews under our supervision, per each city’s rules — union labour in the coastal cities, show-appointed contractors elsewhere. What exhibitors may do themselves varies by city and show, but a custom island is crew-built work everywhere, and our fixed price carries the crews and supervision in all of them. Your team arrives to work the show, not the install.
Do you only cover the twenty-four cities listed here?
No — these are the pages with published city pricing, covering America’s major show destinations. The same fixed-price model serves shows beyond them; if your venue isn’t listed, send the show name and city and you’ll get the same treatment: one fixed USD figure, the venue’s charges forecast beside it, within 24 hours.
