Tech Conferences & Trade Shows: An Exhibitor’s Guide
You don’t have to be an exhibitor or a tech industry guru to attend tech conferences and trade shows. Tech conferences are ideal for exploring new ideas and sparking creative possibilities for any business. At Classic Exhibits, we design and build exhibits, large and small, for a wide range of industries.
Trade Show Attire: What Not to Wear
Trade shows are all about making a good impression, so what exhibitors wear matters. However, “What to Wear” is often the last checkbox on their trade show checklist. But it shouldn’t be. More than anything, trade show attire should be a conscious decision, one that mirrors your trade show strategy.
Trade Show Material Handling Calculator and Infographic
If you are familiar with trade shows, you are all too familiar with material handling or drayage. These two terms, which mean the same thing, often elicit a very strong emotional response from exhibitors. So what is drayage? Drayage refers to the movement of your trade show booth items from your carrier’s delivery vehicle to your booth space.

Should a Custom Exhibit House Care about Portable and Modular Displays?
I can’t say I’ve ever heard that exact phrase, but I’ve heard many variations over the years. They include, “It’s my job to keep the saws turning.” Or, “We can’t be bothered with any job less than $100,000.” Or my favorite, “Why would I want to sell a $20,000 portable modular display when I could sell a $250,000 custom exhibit?”
Trade Show Marketing –Are You an Artist or a House Painter?
On your best days, you get to be an artist. It doesn’t matter if you’re in design, production, account management, sales, marketing, or even accounting. You soar on those days. And when the clock hits 5 or 6 or 10 pm, you walk out of the door with a smile.
Then there are days where none of us have the luxury of being artists. We’re house painters. Good house painters mind you, but ones where the colors, the canvas, and the guidelines are chosen by someone else, usually your client.
