The whole world of international education walks one expo hall. Your booth is your campus.
Fixed-price NAFSA 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 greets deans, directors and delegations in Los Angeles has already stood up once on our floor.
Filters the booths below — every one is published with its fixed price.
NAFSA isn’t a browsing show — it’s a meeting show. Universities, pathway providers, insurers, ed-tech platforms and government delegations arrive with calendars already full, and the booth that wins is the one that works as a venue: places to sit, places to talk privately, and a front that tells a dean at thirty feet exactly who you are. The work below shows how we build for that — custom structures designed around the conversation, with every project moving through one team from first rendering to dismantle.
Microsoft
A modular island that scaled across a multi-conference programme — the model for institutions exhibiting at several recruitment fairs a year.
IMAX
Large-format island built around an immersive presentation space — the scale a country pavilion or flagship university presence calls for.
Fulcrum GT
Full-height LED as the structure itself — campus imagery and programme stories readable across a crowded aisle.
Teramind
1,800 sq ft island zoned for parallel conversations — the layout logic a busy partnerships team needs.
Appdome
A presentation theatre built for high-volume traffic — the same bones work for programme showcases and info sessions.
Radware
Hands-on stations inside a four-sided island — a footprint that suits advising desks and one-to-one counselling.
SpyCloud
Stations arranged for one-to-one conversation — exactly the rhythm of a NAFSA advising and partnerships floor.
WillowTree
Meeting-led layout with enclosed rooms off an open front — the NAFSA formula: public face, private conversations.
The expo hall at NAFSA runs on relationships: country pavilions, institutional neighbours, delegations moving between pre-booked meetings. Add a major downtown venue with its own move-in rhythm and a conference programme that pulls your audience off the floor for sessions, and the booth brief changes. The most expensive NAFSA mistake isn’t a bad booth; it’s a booth designed for walk-up traffic at a show that runs on appointments.
A large downtown convention campus means marshalled freight, scheduled dock targets and union labour jurisdictions governing what happens on the floor. None of that should be your problem: we plan the build for the venue’s rules, book the freight window against your move-in slot, and put a supervisor on site. You arrive to a finished booth, not a work order.
NAFSA attendees schedule much of their expo time before they fly. That rewards a booth engineered as meeting infrastructure — a clear identity readable from the aisle, seating that lets two conversations run at once, and somewhere semi-private for the discussion that shouldn’t happen standing up. We design for that rhythm, not for a demo-station crowd.
A June show means the paperwork season is April and May — advance-order deadlines, layout approvals and freight windows all land while your team is deep in admissions season and end-of-year cycles. The real deadline for a locked design is early-to-mid April. Miss it and you’re not late, you’re paying floor rates for everything.
Booth space, electrical, drayage, rigging and cleaning 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.
International education budgets are approved months ahead, reviewed by committees, and rarely elastic. That’s exactly the environment where exhibit-house invoices do their damage: 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.
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 published with its price and available as a custom build for your institution or brand — rented, not bought. Use the finder at the top of the page to narrow by size and budget.

The advance-order cutoff lands in the weeks before the show — the exact date is in the facts strip at the top of this page, and it updates automatically each edition. But the binding constraint arrives earlier: the spring is when advance electrical, rigging and freight windows are filed, and it’s also the busiest stretch of the academic year for the people who have to approve your design. Work backwards and the comfortable version of this project starts in winter.
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.”
