Regional Extension Ring runs across Southern Indiana, Bullitt County, Shelby County. Regional coverage into Southern Indiana and Lexington widens the service footprint without forcing fake long-range claims.
Scope on a roadshow services project
a bad one has many, because they weren't.
What an engagement actually looks like
After the brief, the work turns to the building itself.
Install days are owned by a single on-site lead.
Throughout show hours, the on-site lead stays present.
Strike and closeout happen the same day.
Pricing and scheduling
Every project has the same cost drivers.
Lead time drives everything. Custom: 16 to 20 weeks. Rental: 8 to 12.
How project performance gets measured
Most programs in Louisville are evaluated on lead-capture volume, meetings booked on the floor, and qualified-pipeline attribution after the show. The booth is a means to those numbers — it is not the number itself.
A week after the show, the booth's actual floor performance is already clearer than any pre-show projection. We document those observations alongside the technical closeout so the next cycle inherits real signal, not nostalgia.
What makes our work different
Trade Show Services of Louisville keeps the work local.
Consistency across show dates is the other reason to hire local. The same crew that built the booth runs the install, knows the pack-out, and catches the small things — a missing hardware pack, a graphic edge that needs reseating, a storage crate routed to the wrong bay — without needing the client team to intervene.
Common questions
Do you work at Hilton Lexington/Downtown?
Yes. Located at 369 West Vine Street, Lexington, KY 40507.
How does labor work in Louisville?
It runs venue by venue.
How much lead time is ideal?
Custom builds run best with 16 to 20 weeks of lead time. Rentals take 8 to 12 weeks.
What information kicks off a project?
The show, the venue, the booth number, the dates, and a target budget range. From those, an initial scope and a realistic cost come back within a few days.
Who runs the booth on-site?
One named show-site lead runs the install, the show hours, and the strike. That person carries the floor plan and the punch list from crates to doors and reports up once a day.
Can the booth travel to the next city on our calendar?
Same structure, swappable graphics, standard crates.
