About Frankfort
Frankfort sits in the Central Kentucky area.
Trade show work in Frankfort shares most of its structure with larger Louisville projects. Where it diverges is in the nearby venue mix, freight routing, and local hotel block availability.

What it costs and how fast it moves
Cost scales with how it is built, how big it is, what the venue charges for its own services, what the graphics look like, how far the crates travel, and how many days the team stays on-site.
Lead time drives everything. Custom: 16 to 20 weeks. Rental: 8 to 12.
How project performance gets measured
Trade show ROI is measured at the lead and pipeline level.
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.
