Determining the mount pattern, screw size, and weight of your monitor (LCD, LED LCD, TV, Flat Panel, etc.) then verifying if and how it mounts to your new exhibit, will make set-up at the show much easier.

Any good game idea must help draw show attendees and other show exhibitors into your booth for you to introduce yourself and your company to them. Whether you decide to use a tried-and-true game like the business card raffle or a counting game, or if you decide to go way outside of the box with a scavenger hunt or another creative brand-centered experience, games are great for driving foot traffic into your booth.

So your company is ready to take the plunge into trade show marketing? But after researching the cost to exhibit at a show or expo, you realize there’s a lot of fees that are not outlined anywhere.

The search for the best trade show display is a never-ending journey for many companies. For many, the process of trying to find the perfect display is elusive. Similar to searching for a perfect pair of shoes, each option has its pros and cons. Some are nearer to perfection than others, but none take the crown as the perfect trade show display.

A trade show is an event organized to bring together people from a specific industry over several days to network, demonstrate, discuss, test, learn, and sometimes buy the latest products, services, and best practices within their field. For example, one of the largest trade shows in the USA is CONEXPO-CON held every three years in Las Vegas.
