The kind of booth buyers write orders in

Global Pet Expo is a working buyers’ show — retailers, distributors and independent pet stores walk the aisles with open-to-buy budgets and a schedule to keep. The booths below show how we build for brands whose product has to be seen, handled and ordered on the spot: structures designed around the merchandising and the meeting, with every project moving through one team from first rendering to dismantle.

Know the floor before you plan the booth

Orlando rewards the exhibitors who plan the building, not just the booth

Global Pet Expo fills the Orange County Convention Center — one of the largest convention venues in the country — with more than a thousand exhibiting companies and buyers who have limited time to cover all of it. The most expensive mistake at this show isn’t a bad booth; it’s a booth planned without understanding the building it stands in, the buyers it has to stop, or the calendar it has to survive.

The OCCC is a marathon building

Orange County Convention Center logistics

Long dock-to-booth runs, tight move-in windows and material handling charges that scale with every pound you ship. Freight strategy matters here as much as design: how the booth crates, how it routes to the dock, and whether every order was filed at advance rates. We plan all of that before the booth is even fabricated.

A buying floor, not a browsing floor

Retail & distribution buyers on a schedule

With 1,100+ exhibitors competing for the same order books, buyers triage by sightline. The winning booth reads in one glance — brand, category, why-you — then converts the stop with product they can touch and a place to sit and talk terms. We design for shelf-back merchandising and the buyer meeting, not just the beauty shot.

The March calendar

Holidays sit inside your timeline

A March show means design and graphics approvals land across the December holidays, and the advance-order window closes in mid-to-late January — the exact deadline for the next edition is in the facts strip at the top of this page. Miss the advance window and you pay floor rates for everything the show bills you.

What we handle at Global Pet Expo
  • Booth design planned for your actual placement and sightlines
  • Layout submission and show approval, filed early
  • Electrical, material handling and rigging orders calculated up front and filed at advance rates
  • Labour coordination and on-site supervision at the OCCC
  • 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, cleaning and internet 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
  • Vacuuming / daily cleaning · internet
Why a fixed price matters most here

The budget you present in the fall should survive March

Trade show invoices grow in the gaps: 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, rigging, cleaning and internet 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 March

Your real deadline is in January

The advance-order cutoff lands weeks before the show opens — the exact date is in the facts strip at the top of this page, and it updates automatically each edition. For a March show that window closes in mid-to-late January, which means the December holidays sit squarely inside your production timeline. Here’s the schedule that keeps every order at advance rates and every surprise off your invoice.

SEPT–OCTBrief, concepts and the fixed price locked. Full design freedom.
NOVEMBERLayout submitted for show approval — placement confirmed.
EARLY DECGraphics finalised and sent to production — before the holidays slow everything down.
MID–LATE JANAdvance orders filed — electrical, material handling, rigging — before the cutoff in the facts strip. After this, everything costs floor rates.
EARLY FEBFreight window and dock target time booked at the OCCC.
LATE FEBBooth built, lit and photographed for your approval — then crated for Orlando.
SHOW WEEKCrew installs in your move-in slot. You walk in at handover.

Five questions to ask anyone quoting your Global Pet Expo 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 merchandising idea in December 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 crates for Orlando. 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. At a building the size of the OCCC, the advance-versus-floor spread on material handling and electrical is real money — if a vendor can’t answer this immediately, that’s your answer.
5 Have you calculated my client-direct show costs before I commit? Ours: yes, line by line. Drayage, electrical, rigging, cleaning and internet are billed to you by the show and venue — no exhibit house can include them — but we estimate every one for your exact booth up front, so your total is a number before you sign, not a discovery after the show.

Questions Global Pet Expo exhibitors actually ask

Global Pet Expo booth rental FAQs

How much does a Global Pet Expo booth rental cost?
Every booth on this page is published with its Orlando price — fixed, covering design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, freight, labour coordination, installation, dismantle and project management. Separately, the show and venue bill you directly for booth space, electrical, drayage, rigging, cleaning and internet; we calculate those for your exact booth before you commit, so the total is known before you sign anything.
When should I book a booth for Global Pet Expo?
Start the conversation in the fall for full design freedom. A March show puts the December holidays inside your production timeline, and the advance-order window closes in mid-to-late January — the exact deadline for the next edition is in the facts strip at the top of this page and updates automatically. Lock your design before the holidays and every order files at advance rates.
What surprises first-time exhibitors most at the Orange County Convention Center?
Material handling — the drayage charge for moving your freight from the dock to your booth, billed by weight. At a building the size of the OCCC it’s often the largest client-direct line on the invoice, and it’s billed by the show whether you planned for it or not. We engineer booths to crate light and dense, calculate the charge for your exact shipment before you commit, and file the order at advance rates.
Can the booth be built around product display and merchandising?
That’s exactly what a Global Pet Expo booth should be. Shelving, slatwall, product walls, demo counters, sampling stations, refrigeration space for fresh or frozen lines, and a place to sit down with a buyer — all designed into the structure from the first rendering, not bolted on at the show. Tell us what the buyer needs to see, touch and taste, and we design backwards from that.
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 facility and you approve photographs of the actual booth, not a render.
Can I install the booth myself to save on labour?
Show floors at major venues run on contracted labour, and the show’s rules 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 every related order 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 Global Pet Expo 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. The earlier in the winter you call, the more of that window sits ahead of the advance-order cutoff.
Do you handle events off the show floor — suites, activations, press events?
Yes — hotel suites, meeting spaces and satellite activations around the show run under the same fixed-price model, coordinated by the same project manager as your booth.
