How a project runs
After the brief, the work turns to the building itself.
With venue details locked, production runs.
One named show-site lead runs the install.
Throughout show hours, the on-site lead stays present.
Pricing and scheduling
Every project has the same cost drivers.
Rental programs run on 8 to 12.
What a successful project looks like
Exhibitors who measure programs seriously track leads, floor-booked meetings, and post-show pipeline. The build and the install are upstream inputs to those KPIs.
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.
What makes our work different
Working with a Louisville-based shop matters most when something goes wrong on-site. Solutions live within driving distance instead of on another coast.
Over a multi-show calendar, the compound value of a single team shows up in fewer surprises. The second install is faster than the first, the third is faster than the second, and by the fourth the project runs on memory and documentation rather than first-principles planning.
Common questions
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.
What happens if something breaks during show hours?
The on-site lead handles it.
