Question 1

What is a custom exhibit rental?

Accepted Answer

A custom exhibit rental is a fully bespoke trade show display designed from scratch to match your brand identity, show goals, and footprint. Unlike modular rental systems, custom exhibits use proprietary structures, premium millwork, and brand-specific architectural elements — and because you rent rather than buy, you get a flagship-quality build without the capital cost or storage burden of ownership.

Question 2

How long does it take to design a custom exhibit?

Accepted Answer

We deliver a free, photorealistic 3D rendering within 48 hours of your design brief. Full fabrication typically requires six to eight weeks from design approval, depending on complexity. For peak New Orleans shows, we recommend booking 90 days out to protect your preferred design direction and labor calls.

Question 3

Can I reuse a custom exhibit rental at multiple shows?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We store your custom exhibit in our climate-controlled facility between shows and refresh graphics when your messaging changes. The same structure can serve you across multiple New Orleans appearances — and we can adapt the layout for different footprints at different venues.

Question 4

What is the minimum budget for a custom exhibit rental?

Accepted Answer

Custom exhibit rentals in New Orleans typically start around $50,000 for a 20x20 island. Smaller custom builds are available for 10x20 in-line configurations starting around $20,000. Every custom rental includes strategy-led design, a free 3D rendering, fabrication, graphics, install, and dismantle.

Question 5

Do you handle installation and dismantle for custom exhibits?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every custom exhibit rental includes our own install and dismantle crews. We manage the full move-in and move-out process at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, including coordination with the venue's rigging jurisdiction, drayage carrier, and electrical contractor so you arrive to a finished, floor-ready space.
