What's included in the project scope
For programs that repeat, asset management becomes part of the engagement — storage, graphic rotation, refurbishment, and re-crating are planned rather than one-off.
Scope boundary is as important as scope inclusion.
What an engagement actually looks like
Once scope is clear, the venue work begins.
One named show-site lead runs the install.
That document drives the next booking.
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.
Rental programs run on 8 to 12.
What a successful project looks like
Trade show ROI is measured at the lead and pipeline level.
The post-show debrief is where the numbers get connected back to the physical booth. Which demo station drew traffic, which meeting area closed more conversations, which graphic zone attracted dwell time — that feedback shapes the next build rather than getting lost.
How we're built to run your project
Local fabrication means real-time problem-solving. A graphic that needs to be reprinted at 6 a.m.
Clients who run repeat programs across multiple dates end up paying less per event when the same team handles everything. Less re-briefing, less re-training, less re-checking — the operational overhead drops year over year.

Common questions
Do you work at Norton Healthcare Sports & Learning Center?
Yes.
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.
