AACN NTI Trade Show Booth Rentals

The nurses walking this floor are earning CE credit, not killing time. Your booth gets one break to make the case.

Fixed-price AACN NTI 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 facing acute, progressive and critical-care nurses between sessions 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

NTI isn’t a trade show. It’s a nursing conference with an expo floor.

AACN NTI is built around education — general sessions, breakouts and continuing-education credit — with the exposition floor filling the gaps between them. That changes how nurses move through the hall and how much time they’ll actually give your booth. The most expensive NTI mistake isn’t a bad booth; it’s a booth designed for a browsing crowd on a floor that’s really running on a class schedule.

Indianapolis convention logistics

Venue to be announced

Indianapolis hosts its major conventions downtown, connected by skywalk to the hotel core, with marshalling-yard check-in, targeted move-in windows and labor rules set by the show’s general contractor at whichever facility is booked. Once the specific venue is confirmed, we plan freight, dock timing and labor to that exact building — the facts strip above updates automatically the moment the record is set.

A continuing-education floor

Nurses between sessions, not browsers

NTI attendees are acute, progressive and critical-care nurses on the floor between education sessions, earning CE credit as the priority — booth time is compressed into short windows. Exhibitors here run from medical device and pharma to staffing and nursing-education vendors. The booths that win are built for a fast, credible conversation: clear clinical framing, a demo that reads in under a minute, and a layout that respects the break.

The spring calendar problem

Booked around the busiest show stretch

A May show lands inside one of the busiest stretches on the national show calendar, when fabrication and install crews are booked well ahead. The real deadline for a locked design lands roughly eight weeks out — the exact date is in the facts strip above — and because the host city changes with every edition, the window to confirm venue-specific logistics can be tighter than exhibitors expect.

What we handle at AACN NTI
  • Floor-specific design — sightlines planned once your placement is confirmed
  • Layout submission and show approval, filed early
  • Electrical, rigging and material handling at advance rates
  • Labor 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 in winter should survive May

Exhibit-house invoices tend to 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.

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 it looks

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 the building-specific placement the moment it’s confirmed.

Take this to every vendor

Five questions to ask anyone quoting your AACN NTI 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 February 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 a clinical audience will appreciate.
4 Who files my advance show orders, and at which rate? Ours: we do, at advance rates, mapped to every exhibitor-manual deadline as soon as the venue is confirmed. If a vendor can’t answer this immediately, that’s your answer.
5 This show moves to a different city every year — does that put my timeline or my booth at risk? Ours: no. Your booth’s design, fabrication and fixed price aren’t tied to the host city — they travel. What changes each year is the venue-specific logistics: freight windows, labor rules, dock timing. We rebuild that playbook for whichever city and building NTI lands in, and apply it the moment the facts strip confirms the details, so a touring show never becomes your problem to solve.

Questions AACN NTI exhibitors actually ask

AACN NTI booth rental FAQs

How much does an AACN NTI booth rental cost?
Every booth on this page is published with its Indianapolis price — fixed and all-inclusive: design, fabrication, graphics, furniture, freight, labor 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 AACN NTI?
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 May sits inside one of the busiest stretches on the national show calendar, starting in winter secures full design freedom and shop capacity before it fills.
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 building-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.
NTI moves to a different host city every year — how do you handle that?
The same way regardless of which city is next: your booth design and fixed price travel with your brand, not with the venue. What we rebuild each edition is the logistics playbook — the facility’s marshalling and move-in process, labor rules and freight windows for that specific building. That work happens on our side; the only thing that changes for you is the city printed on the box.
Can a rental booth handle a live product demo or clinical simulation station?
Yes — we spec the electrical load, drop locations and floor distribution for your exact equipment, file the advance electrical order, and pressure-test the demo or simulation station during the pre-build at our facility, so the first time it runs on show power isn’t the morning the doors open.
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 facility and you approve photographs of the actual booth, not a render.
Can I install the booth myself to save on labor?
AACN NTI floors run on contracted show labor, and the show’s general contractor governs who may build what. Either way it isn’t your problem to arrange: labor coordination and on-site supervision are inside our fixed price, 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 an AACN NTI 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 industry’s busiest spring stretch.
