IRE Conference · Phoenix · Venue to be announced · June

IRE Conference Booth Rentals

A floor full of investigative journalists. Your booth is about to be fact-checked.

Fixed-price IRE 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 faces the most skeptical audience in publishing has already been verified once.

Know the floor before you plan the booth

Phoenix in June. Venue to be announced. Plan anyway.

IRE isn’t a spectacle show — it’s a working conference where the exhibit floor sits between training sessions, and the people walking it are reporters, editors and data journalists deciding which tools their newsroom will actually adopt. The 2027 edition is set for Phoenix with the venue to be announced — the facts strip at the top of this page updates automatically the moment it’s confirmed, and nothing about your booth needs to wait for it.

Phoenix, venue to be announced

Logistics without the address

Your booth is designed, priced and built at our facility — none of that depends on which Phoenix property IRE names. The venue determines freight routing, dock schedules and show-services rates, and we monitor the announcement so your client-direct cost estimates and advance orders are recalculated and filed the moment the exhibitor manual exists. Check the facts strip at the top of this page — it updates automatically.

A floor built on skepticism

Reporters, editors, data journalists

IRE draws the people who verify things for a living. Big claims printed on a back wall don’t survive here — a working demo, a hands-on data station and a staffer who can answer the third follow-up question do. We design for that rhythm: product front and centre, sightlines to the screen, and a place to sit down for the longer conversation.

The June calendar

Advance rates close ~8 weeks out

The advance-order window for show services closes roughly eight weeks before the conference — for the 2027 edition that means late April to early May. Miss it and every electrical drop and freight move is billed at floor rates. The exact deadline is in the facts strip at the top of this page and updates automatically as the show confirms its dates and venue.

What we handle at IRE
  • Booth design planned for a working-conference floor, not a spectacle hall
  • Layout submission and show approval, filed early
  • Electrical, rigging and material handling calculated and filed at advance rates
  • Venue-announcement tracking — orders refiled the moment the hall is named
  • 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 its 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 once the Phoenix venue is announced.

  • 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 in winter should survive June

Newsroom-tools budgets don’t have slack for surprises: 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 — updated the day IRE names its Phoenix venue — 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 June 2027

Your real deadline is in late April

The advance-order cutoff lands roughly eight weeks before the show — for a late-June conference that means late April to early May 2027. The exact date is in the facts strip at the top of this page, and it updates automatically each edition. Everything upstream of that cutoff is design freedom; everything downstream of it is floor rates and compromise.

DEC–FEBBrief, concepts and the fixed price locked. Full design freedom.

EARLY APRILGraphics finalised and sent to production.
LATE APR–EARLY MAYDesign locked. Advance electrical, rigging and drayage orders filed — the ~8-weeks-out cutoff. After this, everything bills at floor rates.

Five questions to ask anyone quoting your IRE 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 — an audience of investigative reporters would expect nothing less.

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 65,000 sq ft facility, photographed for your sign-off before it ships to Phoenix. Renders are promises; photographs are evidence — a distinction this audience appreciates.
4 Who files my advance show orders, and at which rate? Ours: we do, at advance rates, mapped to every exhibitor-manual deadline. The advance-versus-floor spread on electrical and drayage is real money — if a vendor can’t answer this immediately, that’s your answer.
5 The venue hasn’t been announced. What happens to my quote when it is? Ours: nothing happens to our fixed price — it doesn’t depend on the hall. The client-direct estimates for electrical, drayage and rigging are recalculated against the announced venue’s rate card and refiled at advance rates the day the exhibitor manual exists. You’ll see the revised numbers before you owe anyone anything.

Questions IRE exhibitors actually ask

IRE booth rental FAQs

How much does an IRE Conference booth rental cost?
Every booth on this page is published with its Phoenix price — fixed and covering design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, freight, labour coordination, installation, dismantle 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 IRE 2027?
Work backwards from the advance-order cutoff, which lands roughly eight weeks before the show — late April to early May for a late-June conference. Lock your design before that date and every show-services order files at advance rates. Start the conversation in winter for full design freedom; the exact deadline is in the facts strip at the top of this page and updates automatically.
The Phoenix venue hasn’t been announced yet. How can I plan a booth?
Almost everything about your booth is venue-independent: design, fabrication, graphics and the fixed price don’t change with the address. What the venue determines is freight routing, dock schedules and the show-services rate card — and we track the announcement, then recalculate your client-direct estimates and file advance orders the moment the exhibitor manual is published. The facts strip at the top of this page updates automatically when the venue is confirmed.
Will a rental look custom, or will it look reused?
Every booth is custom-fabricated for your brand — graphics, layout, lighting and finishes built on a modular structure underneath. The builds shown above are rentals. Before yours ships, it stands fully assembled, powered and lit at our 65,000 sq ft facility, and you approve photographs of the actual booth, not a render.
What’s actually inside the fixed price — and what isn’t?
Inside: design with unlimited revisions, fabrication, graphics, freight, installation, dismantle and project management — one number, and the quote is the final invoice. Never inside, from us or anyone: drayage, rigging, electricity, cleaning and internet, which the show, venue or its general contractor bills every exhibitor directly. We calculate those up front for your exact booth and file the orders at advance rates, so nothing about the total is a surprise.
Can I install the booth myself to save on labour?
Convention-facility floors run on contracted labour, and the show’s general contractor governs who may build what — rules that won’t be final until the Phoenix venue is announced. Either way it isn’t your problem to arrange: labour coordination and on-site supervision are inside our fixed price, and the associated show orders are filed at advance rather than floor rates.
We’re a small newsroom-tools startup. Can you work at our budget?
Yes — a 10×10 or 10×20 is still a custom build with your graphics, lighting and demo layout, at a published fixed price. IRE’s floor rewards substance over scale: a working demo station and a place to talk beat square footage here. And because the design files and structure carry forward, this year’s inline booth becomes the starting point for a bigger footprint at your next show.
A vendor just fell through. How fast can you deliver an IRE 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 you call, the more of that window sits ahead of the advance-order cutoff shown in the facts strip above.
Do you handle events off the show floor — receptions, workshops, press events?
Yes — hotel suites, meeting spaces, workshop rooms and satellite events around the conference run under the same fixed-price model, coordinated by the same project manager as your booth.
