Question 1

How much does a 20x40 island trade show exhibit rental cost in New Orleans?

Accepted Answer

Our published 20x40 range is $60,000 to $140,000. The spread reflects the centerpiece type, LED video wall size, number of enclosed meeting rooms, the amount of custom millwork and flooring, and rigging requirements. Design, the 48-hour 3D rendering, graphics, structural engineering, and downtown convention district install and dismantle support are included.

Question 2

Can a 20x40 island include enclosed meeting rooms?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Eight hundred square feet is ample for one or two enclosed, lockable meeting rooms while still leaving open demo and display space on the perimeter. We design the rooms with sound-dampening walls and integrate them into the overall architecture so they feel intentional, not boxed in.

Question 3

Does a 20x40 island need rigging and a hanging sign?

Accepted Answer

A hanging sign is one of the highest-impact features on a 20x40 because it gives you a 360-degree brand landmark visible across the hall. It requires rigging labor and downtown convention district rigging approval, which we coordinate as part of your show-services plan along with the electrical and drayage orders.

Question 4

How long does it take to install a 20x40 island?

Accepted Answer

A typical 20x40 installs in roughly twelve to eighteen labor hours, often staged across one to two move-in days because of the structural centerpiece, LED integration, and rigging. We sequence the install against your assigned move-in window so freight, rigging, and labor line up instead of colliding.

Question 5

Why rent a 20x40 island instead of owning one?

Accepted Answer

Renting a 20x40 delivers flagship-level presence without the capital outlay, the multi-truck warehouse footprint, or the design obsolescence of owning an island this large. It also lets you reconfigure or completely restyle the exhibit for each major New Orleans appearance, so your largest investment never looks dated.
