This guide collects what we have learned building booths for this show: venue notes, booth planning and a timeline from the first briefing to move-out.

Show Overview

Visitors expect to see products working, not just read about them. Plan the booth around live demonstrations, meeting space and a structure people can find from across the hall.

• Demo-first booths: plan screens, product tables and open sightlines around live demonstrations.
• Meetings matter: a semi-private lounge or closed meeting room is often worth the floor space.
• Visibility from a distance: a hanging sign or tall branded structure helps visitors find you.

The Venue

Large U.S. shows usually spread across several halls. A few practical points for exhibitors:

• Official contractors: electrical, rigging and material handling are ordered through the show's appointed contractors.
• Hanging signs: rigging needs approved drawings and is installed by the official rigging contractor.
• Heavy AV: LED walls and screens need a detailed electrical plan and a clear cable route.
• Local production: HLMESSE builds in Las Vegas and delivers with its own vehicles.

Booth Planning Tips

Power, heat and cable routes

LED walls and monitors draw power and generate heat. We plan the electrical layout with the booth, hide cables, and leave ventilation behind screens.

Sound and demo zones

Separate loud demo stations from the meeting area, and use a closed room for conversations.

Light for cameras

Even, bright lighting on graphics and products, without glare on screens, keeps the booth camera-ready.

Storage and staff areas

A lockable closet for cases, spare parts and giveaways keeps the booth clean through the show.
