GSX · Georgia World Congress Center · September

GSX Trade Show Booth Rentals

The people walking this floor assess risk for a living. Your booth is the first thing they evaluate.

Fixed-price GSX 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 ten thousand security professionals in Atlanta has already stood up once, powered and checked, on our floor.

Know the floor before you plan the booth

GSX isn’t a browsing show. It’s a working floor.

GSX fills the Georgia World Congress Center — one of the largest convention campuses in the country, a multi-hall complex in downtown Atlanta — with security practitioners who came to evaluate equipment, not to collect tote bags. Where your booth lands, what it can power, and whether your demos actually run all decide more than the graphics do. The most expensive GSX mistake isn’t a bad booth; it’s a booth designed without knowing the building.

GWCC — a multi-hall giant

Downtown Atlanta campus

The Georgia World Congress Center runs to millions of square feet across multiple buildings and halls, and GSX uses serious floor space inside it. Long hall runs mean sightlines carry — height, lighting and a clear message do disproportionate work. Freight moves through GWCC’s marshalling yard on a schedule, so your dock target time matters as much as your design. We plan both to the specific hall, not to a render on a white background.

Live demos need infrastructure

Cameras · access control · video walls

Security buyers expect working product: camera arrays streaming live, access-control readers cycling, monitoring dashboards on real screens. Every one of those needs power drops, and most need network — all client-direct orders through the show and venue that cost sharply more at floor rates than at advance rates. We engineer the booth around your demo load and file those orders early, so nothing is dark on day one.

The September calendar

Summer sits inside your timeline

A September show means the advance-order deadlines land in the middle of July — when your approvers, your legal team and half the industry are on summer holidays. The real deadline for a locked design is mid-July. Miss it and you’re not late, you’re paying floor rates for electrical, drayage and rigging while chasing sign-offs from vacation inboxes.

What we handle at GWCC
  • Hall-specific design — sightlines planned for your actual placement
  • Layout submission and show approval, filed early
  • Electrical, network, rigging and material handling orders calculated and filed at advance rates
  • Union 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, the venue or the show’s general contractor — 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 present in spring should survive September

Trade show invoices have a habit of growing between quote and show: 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, network, 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 September

Your real deadline is in July

The advance-order cutoff lands roughly eight weeks before the show — the exact date is in the facts strip at the top of this page, and it updates automatically each edition. For a September show that puts the binding constraint in mid-July, squarely inside vacation season: the approvals this timeline assumes get slower, not faster, through the summer.

Take this to every vendor

Five questions to ask anyone quoting your GSX 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 in June costs nothing.
3 Will I see my actual booth before it ships — or a render? Ours: the actual booth, fully assembled, powered and lit at our facility, photographed for your sign-off before it leaves for Atlanta. 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. With live camera and access-control demos drawing real power and network, the advance-versus-floor spread at GSX is real money — if a vendor can’t answer this immediately, that’s your answer.
5 What happens to my timeline over the summer holidays? Ours: nothing — because your design is locked and your advance orders are filed by mid-July, before vacation season slows every approval chain. Any vendor still designing in August is gambling with your show. Ask them directly.

Questions GSX exhibitors actually ask

GSX booth rental FAQs

How much does a GSX booth rental cost?
Every booth on this page is published with its Atlanta price — fixed and all-inclusive: design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, freight, labour coordination and project management. Separately, the show, the venue and the show’s general contractor bill you 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.
When should I book a booth for GSX?
Lock your design by mid-July. The advance-order deadlines for a September show land in the middle of vacation season, when approvals everywhere slow down — start the conversation in spring for full design freedom. The exact advance-order deadline for the next edition is in the facts strip at the top of this page and updates automatically.
What’s move-in like at the Georgia World Congress Center?
GWCC is a multi-building downtown campus, and freight moves through its marshalling yard on scheduled dock target times — trucks that miss their slot wait, and waiting during move-in is expensive. We book your freight window early, route the truck to the correct building and hall, and put an install supervisor on site so your team never has to learn the venue’s logistics themselves.
My booth runs live demos — cameras, access-control readers, video walls. Can you handle the power and network?
Yes, and it’s the most important planning conversation for a GSX booth. We engineer the structure around your demo load — mounting, cable routing, screen placement — then calculate the electrical and network orders your setup actually needs. Those services are billed to you directly by the show and venue, but we file the orders at advance rates and verify everything against the booth as built on our floor, so your demos are live when the doors open.
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?
The GWCC show floor runs on contracted union labour, and the show’s general contractor governs who may build what. Either way it isn’t your problem to arrange: labour coordination and on-site supervision are inside our fixed price, 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 GSX 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. For a September show, the earlier in the summer you call, the more of that window sits at advance rather than floor rates.
Do you handle events off the show floor — suites, receptions, satellite activations?
Yes — hotel suites, meeting spaces and satellite activations around downtown Atlanta run under the same fixed-price model, coordinated by the same project manager as your booth.
