MODEX 2028 · Georgia World Congress Center · Atlanta

MODEX Trade Show Booth Rentals

1,000+ exhibitors, and half the floor is running live machinery. Your booth still has three seconds.

Fixed-price MODEX 2028 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 what stands up on a floor full of moving robots and full-height racking has already stood up once.

Know the floor before you plan the booth

MODEX isn’t a tech expo. It’s a working warehouse.

The Georgia World Congress Center fills with full-height racking, conveyor runs, robots in motion and forklifts doing live demos — which changes both how your freight moves in and what your booth has to do to be seen. The most expensive MODEX mistake isn’t a bad booth; it’s a booth designed as if the neighbours were banner stands instead of forty-foot cranes.

GWCC — a very big building

Georgia World Congress Center · Atlanta

One of the largest convention centres in the country, with multiple buildings, long freight routes from dock to booth, and targeted move-in windows. Where your booth lands determines your dock, your move-in day and how far your crates travel on the way in. We confirm your hall and plan freight, labour and install sequence to your actual placement — not to the venue’s mailing address.

The heavy-equipment floor

Machinery in motion · sightlines blocked

MODEX exhibitors bring the product: racking systems, AMRs, conveyor and lift equipment running live all day. Sightlines that carry at a software show get swallowed here. Height, lighting and one readable message do disproportionate work — and if you’re the software brand between two machinery islands, your booth has to win on clarity, not horsepower.

The two-year clock

One edition · no do-over next spring

MODEX runs on a two-year cycle, so the pipeline you build on this floor has to carry you until the next edition. That raises the stakes on getting the booth right — and on the calendar: the advance-order cutoff lands roughly eight weeks before the show, and the exact dates are in the facts strip at the top of this page, updated automatically from our shows database.

What we handle at MODEX
  • Hall-specific design — sightlines planned for your actual placement
  • Layout submission and show approval, filed early
  • Electrical, 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, 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
  • Daily cleaning · internet
Why a fixed price matters most here

The budget you approve in the fall should survive show week

A show you exhibit at once every two years is exactly where exhibit-house invoices grow: 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 show week

Your real deadline is in early February

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. Everything upstream of that cutoff is where your leverage lives: advance rates on electrical, rigging and material handling, a confirmed dock target, and a booth that’s already been built once before it ships to Atlanta.

Five questions to ask anyone quoting your MODEX 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 January 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 to 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. At a venue the size of the Georgia World Congress Center the advance-versus-floor spread is real money — if a vendor can’t answer this immediately, that’s your answer.
5 Can you tell me today what drayage, rigging and electrical will cost me? Ours: yes — those are billed to you directly by the show and venue, never by us, but we calculate them for your exact booth weight and layout before you commit. If a vendor’s quote is silent on them, the surprise arrives with the show’s invoice.

Questions MODEX exhibitors actually ask

MODEX booth rental FAQs

How much does a MODEX booth rental cost?
Every booth on this page is published with its Atlanta price — fixed and all-inclusive: design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, freight, installation and dismantle, labour coordination 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 MODEX 2028?
Work backwards from the advance-order cutoff, which lands roughly eight weeks before the show — the exact date is in the facts strip at the top of this page and updates automatically. Starting in the fall before the show gives you full design freedom and every order filed at advance rates. And because MODEX runs on a two-year cycle, there’s no next-spring do-over if this edition slips.
Where at the Georgia World Congress Center will my booth be?
GWCC is one of the largest convention centres in the country, and your hall assignment determines your dock, your move-in window and how far your freight travels from truck to booth. We confirm your placement before anything is designed or booked, and plan sightlines, freight and labour to that specific spot — not to a render on a white background.
I sell software, not forklifts. How do I compete with live machinery?
On clarity, not horsepower. Machinery draws the eye, but the operators walking MODEX are there to solve problems — a booth with one readable message, strong lighting and a demo they can touch converts that attention into conversations. We design software and services booths specifically to hold their own between equipment islands, with height and lighting doing the work that a running conveyor does for your neighbour.
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 65,000 sq ft 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 the Georgia World Congress Center 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, with every 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 MODEX 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 in the facts strip above.
Do you handle events off the show floor — suites, meetings, activations?
Yes — hotel suites, meeting spaces and satellite activations around the show in Atlanta run under the same fixed-price model, coordinated by the same project manager as your booth.
