For many exhibitors, choosing and exhibit supplier starts with being selective about who you work with; matching their creativity and capabilities with your needs.

For us, it starts with asking a question: "How can we help make your trade show program more successful?"

Our capabilities and commitment to creating high-impact rental exhibits, our guaranteed pricing model and superior trade show services have all come from consistently asking, then answering this one simple question.


Green~er Exhibits

Sustainable exhibiting practices are available right now and renting your next exhibit is one of those practices. Most exhibitors already know that they are a part of an industry that creates a staggering amount of waste. Visions of the piles of literature and give-a-ways that fill the aisles during tear down of most trade shows comes to mind, but what about the exhibits? Think about those resources required to produce all of the exhibits-then consider that most exhibitors own their exhibits on an average of just 2-4 years! When they are ready for a new one, the old is land-filled and the resource intensive process begins all over again!!

"Tradeshows and conventions represent the second most wasteful industry in the United States, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency."1

Many exhibit builders are touting "green building" practices which is certainly a step in the right direction, yet even if sustainable materials are being used, the fact remains that most exhibits are produced for short lifecycles- meaning that once a particular user is done with the exhibit, it's life cycle is over only to be discarded.

Reduce | Reuse | Recycle = RENT

By design, CUSTOM RENTAL EXHIBTS are reusable and thus sustainable. With the normal routine of maintenance and reconditioning and readying of the property for the next user, RENTAL EXHIBITS can achieve life spans of 5 to 10 years. With an average of five or six users per year, it is not unusual for such a property to be deployed dozens of times in its useful life.

Well conceived CUSTOM RENTAL EXHIBITS are not square boxes on square carpets. Rather, they are architectural statements, built to tradeshow standards, which must retain their design relevance during their life cycle. The bottom line is that many companies have green initiatives in place or are in the process of developing them, yet implementation is often slowed by cost. Renting your next trade show exhibits is an opportunity to both save money and replace a wasteful business practice with a sustainable one.
