Shared Knowledge University — Fall 2018
November in Portland, OR. Overcast. Rainy. Brisk. Nine games into the Portland Trail Blazers schedule. And, if you believe Kevin, the U of O Ducks football team is undefeated and headed to a national championship. Sounds like the ideal time to visit the Rose City for Shared Knowledge University.

Even if you maximize your pre- and post-show planning, it’s possible to miss potential sales because your trade show planning didn’t include right before the show opens and right after the show closes. Every day.
Gravitee One-Step Modular System vs. The Holes

Two Full Buckets of Exhibit Design Search Upgrades
Recently, we made multiple upgrades to Exhibit Design Search, which probably isn’t a big surprise. The upgrades fall into two buckets:
What Makes Classic Exhibits Different
“What makes Classic Exhibits different?” It’s my opportunity to speak about our culture of sharing and creating. Sharing our innovation and production capabilities to help your clients engage their audience on the trade show floor is a primary focus for us. It’s never about rolling up to bin A12 and pulling a complete 10×10, 10×20, or island exhibit design off the shelf and sending it off to Las Vegas or Chicago. It’s about choices.
Our Exhibit Management and Turnkey Services
Earlier this week, a Classic Exhibits’ Distributor asked us about our Exhibit Management program. We thought it might be helpful to share our program and rates for anyone considering adding Exhibit Management/Turnkey Services.
Updates to Your Exhibit Design Search
In this video, we review four recent updates to your Exhibit Design Search, including reorganized galleries, rental designs, CORT galleries, and home page changes.
