IPW Trade Show Booth Rentals

Every buyer who reaches your booth already has an appointment. Your booth’s job is to make the next one worth booking.

Fixed-price IPW 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 hosting a full day of back-to-back appointments with international buyers has already stood up once — venue to be announced; the facts strip at the top of this page updates automatically once it’s confirmed.

Know the floor before you plan the booth

IPW isn’t a walk-the-floor show. It’s an appointment floor.

IPW runs on scheduled, pre-set appointments between U.S. suppliers, DMOs and international buyers — not open foot traffic. Attendees arrive already booked for their next meeting, which changes what a booth actually has to do. The most expensive IPW mistake isn’t a bad booth; it’s a booth built for browsing on a floor built for meetings.

New Orleans convention logistics

Venue to be announced

New Orleans hosts convention business across a mix of large-scale convention-center floor space and hotel-based meeting and ballroom space downtown — each with its own marshalling-yard check-in, targeted move-in windows and labour rules set by the show’s general contractor. Once the specific venue for this edition is confirmed, we plan freight, dock timing and labour to that exact building — the facts strip above updates automatically the moment the record is set.

An appointment floor, not a walk-by floor

Scheduled buyer meetings, not open traffic

Buyers arrive with a full day of pre-set meetings, not idle time to browse. Booths that win are built for the back-to-back private meeting: enclosed or semi-enclosed space for a real conversation, seating that doesn’t feel improvised, and a layout that turns over cleanly between one buyer leaving and the next arriving.

The international-calendar problem

Buyer delegations lock in early

The advance-order cutoff lands roughly eight weeks before the show — the exact date is in the facts strip above. But DMOs, suppliers and international delegations typically confirm marketing calendars and delegate materials even earlier than that. We build the booth timeline around your materials deadline, not just the show’s.

What we handle at IPW
  • Meeting-space design — enclosed and semi-enclosed layout planned for back-to-back appointments
  • Layout submission and show approval, filed early
  • Electrical, rigging and material handling at advance rates
  • Labour coordination and on-site supervision
  • COI, EAC and exhibitor-manual deadlines mapped to our calendar
  • Dock timing, 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 — 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 approve early should survive May

Exhibit-house invoices tend to grow the same way everywhere: 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, 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 May

Your real deadline is earlier than you think

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. Design work doesn’t have to wait on the venue announcement: we lock your concepts and fixed price first, then apply hall-specific placement and delegate logistics the moment the record is confirmed.

Take this to every vendor

Five questions to ask anyone quoting your IPW 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 March 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 ships. Renders are promises; photographs are evidence — a standard that matters when you’re representing a destination or a brand in front of international buyers.
4 Who files my advance show orders, and at which rate? Ours: we do, at advance rates, mapped to every exhibitor-manual deadline the moment the venue is confirmed. If a vendor can’t answer this immediately, that’s your answer.
5 The venue isn’t confirmed yet — what happens if it changes, or is announced late? Ours: no risk to you. Design and fabrication run on your fixed price and the show’s published dates, not on the building. We apply hall-specific placement, freight windows and advance filings the moment the venue is confirmed and the facts strip updates — your timeline never moves.

Questions IPW exhibitors actually ask

IPW booth rental FAQs

How much does an IPW booth rental cost?
Every booth on this page is published with its New Orleans price — fixed and all-inclusive: design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, freight, labour coordination and project management. Separately, the show bills 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 IPW?
Lock your design roughly eight weeks before the show — the exact advance-order deadline for the next edition is in the facts strip at the top of this page and updates automatically. Because IPW is a hosted-buyer show with international delegations confirming their schedules months out, starting early also protects the lead time your own sales materials and staff travel plans need.
The venue hasn’t been announced yet — can I still start planning?
Yes — and you should. Design, fabrication and the fixed price don’t depend on the venue announcement; only the hall-specific layout submission does. We start your concepts now and apply exact placement, dock timing and advance filings the moment the venue is confirmed and the facts strip updates.
IPW runs on scheduled appointments, not open floor traffic — does that change the booth design?
Yes, significantly. A booth built to catch a passing crowd is the wrong brief here. We design for back-to-back private meetings: enclosed or semi-enclosed space for a real conversation, seating that turns over cleanly between appointments, and a layout that reads clearly the moment a buyer with ten other meetings that day walks in.
We’re a DMO representing multiple partners or sub-destinations — can the booth support co-branding?
Yes — modular sections let a lead destination brand anchor the structure while partner areas stay clearly identified within it. We plan the graphics hierarchy so every partner reads at a glance, without the booth turning into a patchwork.
Our booth staff and sales materials are coming from multiple countries — how does that affect logistics?
It mostly doesn’t, on our end. The booth itself is built and shipped domestically, so it isn’t dependent on international freight timelines. We coordinate with your team on where delegate materials, translated collateral and giveaways should ship or be held ahead of move-in, and build that into the same project timeline as the booth.
Can the booth support multiple languages or region-specific messaging?
Yes — graphics and signage are custom to your brief. If your buyer schedule is segmented by region or language, we can build modular graphic panels that swap between appointments or days without changing the structure underneath.
Can I install the booth myself to save on labour?
Convention center floors run on contracted 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.
A vendor just fell through. How fast can you deliver an IPW 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 May show specifically, the earlier you call, the more of that window sits outside the spring show-season crunch.
