If you’ve displayed at least one trade show, you have, no doubt, watched a fellow exhibitor struggle with last minute “fixes” to their display. It happens to everybody, not just “newbies”. Nothing will make you a new friend quicker than a willingness to step in and lend a hand. A little tape helps too. Since […]
Most trade show floors are sealed concrete. They need to be able to stand up to forklift abuse and to thousands upon thousands of footsteps.

You spent a fortune on what you think is a really nice trade show display and you want to get as much use out of it as you can. Nothing wrong with that. Unfortunately, show attendees have memories (conscious or otherwise) of what you display looked like at last year’s show, and if they think […]
A lot of the expenses in building a trade show display and getting it installed can’t be avoided. Others can, but only if you understand the terms that designers, builders and installers use.
