RF and microwave engineers can spot a mocked-up demo from the aisle. Ours are never mocked up.
Fixed-price IEEE IMS 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 has to convince RF and microwave engineers has already stood up once.
Filters the booths below — every one shows its San Antonio price.
IMS draws RF and microwave engineers and researchers from aerospace, defense, telecom and semiconductor companies — an audience that judges suppliers on tolerances, not taglines. The work below is what we build for precision-driven brands: structures designed around the demo and the technical conversation, with every project moving through one team from first rendering to dismantle.
Microsoft
Modular island engineered to repeat across a multi-show technical calendar.
Teramind
1,800 sq ft island with demo zones built for technical walkthroughs.
Fulcrum GT
Full-height LED as structure — build quality this floor notices immediately.
SpyCloud
Interactive stations arranged for the one-to-one technical conversation.
Radware
Hands-on learning stations inside a four-sided island footprint.
Appdome
Demo theatre built to hold high-volume technical traffic.
IMAX
Large-format island built around a controlled viewing experience.
WillowTree
Meeting-led layout — enclosed rooms for spec talks off an open front.
IMS draws aerospace, defense, telecom and semiconductor engineers into the same halls at the Henry B. González Convention Center — a run that’s as much a technical symposium as it is a trade show. The most expensive IMS mistake isn’t a bad booth; it’s a booth designed for a general engineering audience instead of the specific one that will actually stop at your aisle.
A long show week means your booth has to hold up structurally and visually for a full multi-day run on the floor, not just survive a short sprint. Freight, labor and dock scheduling follow the show’s general contractor’s rules, and we plan the build and the install to the building’s actual calendar, not a generic San Antonio venue.
Attendees arrive from technical sessions with a component or systems problem to solve — the booths that win are engineered for close-up scrutiny: product properly lit and mounted at eye level, demo stations that run every time, and messaging that reads correctly from an aisle away.
May carries more major trade shows than almost any other month, and fabrication shops feel that volume first — capacity gets scarce for anyone who calls late. The real deadline for a locked design is mid-March. Miss it and you’re not late, you’re competing for the same production slots as every other spring exhibitor.
Booth space, electrical, drayage, rigging and cleaning are billed to every exhibitor directly by the show — 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.
Trade show invoices grow the same way everywhere: labor 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.
Design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, lighting, freight, installation, dismantle and project management in a single fixed price.
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.
Space, electrical, drayage and rigging calculated for your exact booth before you commit — so the total is a number, not a range.
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.
Every booth below is priced for San Antonio and available as a custom build for your brand — rented, not bought. Use the finder at the top of the page to narrow by size and budget.

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 May show that cutoff sits in mid-March, right as spring’s show season starts pulling on the same fabrication capacity every exhibitor needs at once.
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.
“They never just build the booth and disappear — I always know I have someone on call and ready to jump in when the unexpected inevitably happens. That level of responsiveness makes a huge difference in high-pressure event environments.”
“I’ve worked with Pure Exhibits for almost a year now, and have had such a great experience! They are our go-to for trade shows, and create memorable booths that represent our brand well. The team is incredibly responsive and reliable.”
“It’s always a pleasure to work with Utsav. The process is simple, straightforward, and high quality. I have worked with them for 3 years now and will continue!”
“Their team is incredibly flexible throughout the design process and truly collaborative in bringing ideas to life. I highly recommend Pure Exhibits to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and experienced exhibit partner.”
Tell us your footprint, your booth number if you have it, and what the booth needs to do. You’ll have design concepts and one fixed price back within 24 hours — including what the show will bill you directly.
