First-show tips
- Read the exhibitor rules first: booth size, height limits, and whether canopies are allowed indoors.
- Put your logo high. Tables hide the bottom of everything, so your name belongs on the backdrop or the top of your banners.
- Order early. Production is up to 7 business days after proof approval, plus free UPS Ground (about 3–5 days). Rush is available on the 10x10, 10x15 and 10x20 tent packages (about 2 business days, from $199).
- Enter your event date at checkout and approve your proof quickly. The clock starts at approval.
- Buy pieces you can reuse. Every item packs down for the next show.
