Project Management for Trade Shows & Expos
Show dates do not move. Freight has to ship by a deadline you cannot extend. The labor on the floor is union and the clock starts the second your crates land. We run trade show projects like the deadline-driven productions they are. Our PMs handle decorators, drayage, electrical orders, and on-site install so your team walks into a finished booth.

Common questions
Do you handle the union labor coordination?
We coordinate the technical scope with your decorator’s I&D crew and, when included in the plan, provide technical leads for AV, software, and interactive commissioning.
Can you ship from your shop directly to the show?
For agreed logistics scopes, we crate, label, and arrange shipment from our Orlando facility to the advance warehouse or show site.
What happens if equipment fails on the show floor?
The show plan can include opening-day technical coverage, critical spares, escalation contacts, and a documented response path.
