Who We Are
For over 30 years, Classic Exhibits has been designing and building creative custom solutions for our Distributor Partners and their clients. As North America’s largest private-label exhibit manufacturer, we have the unmatched capability, capacity, and creativity to create 3D projects ranging from 10 x 10 inline displays to 60 x 80 double-deck islands.
If you’ve experimented with AI, you know it can mimic… well, just about anything. For example, imagine a modified Symphony SYK-2016 on a Couture Fashion Show Runway with a snooty AI presenter’s commentary.
Elegant, Chic, and Powerful
“Alright darlings, settle in, the lights are dimming, the music is building… because the next look isn’t just about showcasing a product, it’s about making a statement. Tonight, we’re unveiling the Symphony Portable Display, and trust me, it’s hitting all the right notes.
Imagine, if you will, a silhouette that’s both effortlessly chic and powerfully impactful. The foundation? A sleek, lightweight frame, the supermodel of our collection – strong yet incredibly mobile. But the real drama unfolds with the SEG tension fabric graphics. Think of it as a bold, floor-length gown, stretched taut and flawless, showcasing your brand’s message in vibrant, high-definition color. It’s not just a backdrop; it’s a visual masterpiece, commanding attention from every angle.”
Accessories, The Sophisticated Embellishment
“Now, let’s talk about the accessories, because a true icon knows how to elevate a look. Notice the strategically placed monitor mount – a sophisticated embellishment allowing for dynamic digital presentations. It’s the modern touch, the interactive element that keeps the audience engaged.
We now introduce integrated shelving. With the
addition of these shelves, the Symphony Portable Display transcends mere
presentation; it becomes a multi-dimensional showcase. It allows you to
tell a more complete story, offering both visual impact and tangible
engagement.
And for the discerning clientele? The literature tray, positioned with elegant precision, offering tangible takeaways like curated brochures or lookbooks. It’s the thoughtful detail that shows you understand the art of connection.
But we’re not stopping there, Cherie. In today’s fast-paced world, connectivity is key. Observe the seamlessly integrated wireless charging pad – a subtle yet indispensable feature, offering a touch of modern convenience, ensuring your audience stays powered up and present.”
The Pièce de Résistance
“Now, for the Pièce de Résistance: the elegant portable counter with locking storage. This isn’t just a functional piece; it’s a statement of sophistication and security. Think of it as a beautifully crafted clutch – stylish on the outside, with ample space to keep essentials organized and protected. It’s where transactions happen, conversations flow, and your team can operate with confidence.
And finally, the illumination! Strategically placed LED lights cast a radiant glow, highlighting the display’s best features and ensuring your brand shines, even in the most crowded room. It’s the perfect lighting to accentuate the drama and draw the eye.”
Experience the Symphony
“The Symphony Portable Display isn’t just a display; it’s an experience. It’s about presenting your brand with polish, professionalism, and undeniable flair. It’s about creating a memorable impression that resonates long after the show is over. It’s portable, it’s powerful, and darling, it’s absolutely essential for making your next trade show appearance a resounding success. Now, let’s give it up for the Symphony!”
Applause! Applause!”

The content is AMAZING! Brands that come to EMS are not just
representative of the best of the best but also come ready to engage with
others.
At the same time, everything is intimate in size and very
accessible.
So why doesn’t Classic Exhibits have a booth at EMS? That’s a very fair question. 😊
We Did Exhibit at EMS
Classic participated as an EMS exhibitor in the past, and it was great. But it also created uncomfortable conversations… while still providing good leads.
Why uncomfortable conversations? As you know, Classic does not sell direct. Countless times, we would engage Brand “X” in a productive dialogue in our booth… and then we would ask where their marketing office was located so we could connect them with one of our Distribution Partners. Now insert the previously mentioned “uncomfortable pause.” It was then followed by a deflated, “so we cannot work directly with you and your team?”
After explaining more, they understood and were willing to
connect with a Classic Distributor Partner, but the energy and enthusiasm of
the end-user wasn’t as palpable. I would say “bummer” often described the
end-user’s mood.
We Encouraged Others to Exhibit
Starting last year, we opted NOT to exhibit at the show, but
rather heavily encourage our Exhibit House Distributor Partners to consider
exhibiting. Many of which have taken our advice and will exhibit at EMS.
That “direct” connection with the audience at the Experiential Marketing Summit made so much more sense frankly… and has reaped great rewards.
So even if you are not exhibiting, I encourage you to
consider sending 1 or 2 of your company’s representatives to this event. Like I
said before, the content is AMAZING, and the engagement with top brands is
invaluable.
Let us know how we can assist you with any EMS-related
project opportunities.
Thanks and good luck to everyone attending in the Experiential Marketing Summit!

For over 30 years, Classic Exhibits has been designing and building creative custom solutions for our Distributor Partners and their clients. As North America’s largest private-label exhibit manufacturer, we have the unmatched capability, capacity, and creativity to create 3D projects ranging from 10 x 10 inline displays to 60 x 80 double-deck islands.
Lead times should be a straightforward topic… but they’re not. Every design in EDS has a stated lead-time, like 12-17+ Business Days — about 2-3 weeks in this case. Meaning the ship date can vary depending on when you submit your PO, your client’s artwork, and our current production schedule.
The first two are easy to understand, but the third one requires some explanation. The good news is that once you understand how our production schedule works, then you’ll know how to ask us about your project’s lead time.
Our
Production Schedule Count
Every order is assigned a production count, ranging from 1 to 450 units. Those units are like balls in a big tube. Once we fill that tube, then (technically) that’s it for the day. In reality, we have some days that overflow the tube, and there are other days when the tube may only be half or a quarter full. It’s the job of a PM to work with Production to find a balance by looking for unfilled days to minimize daily production swings.
However,
lead times don’t always fit a tidy schedule. Sometimes you need less time or
even a specific date. When you do, the next step is to ask us… but knowing how
to ask your question is critical.
Details Really Do Matter
NEVER “just” ask about our current lead times. Frankly, that’s not helpful. Instead, ask about a specific design, quote, or kit along with any details. It’s the details that REALLY MATTER. That allows the PM to check the production schedule, consult with the Customer Service Manager, or ask the Production Manager about any flexibility in the schedule. For example, a SYK-1034 Symphony wouldn’t negatively impact the schedule, even on a mostly full day.
We ALWAYS want your order and will make every effort to accept it. Sometimes it’s not possible or will require rush charges. But asking and providing details should be your first step when in doubt. We’ll do our best to make it happen!

Classic Exhibits was honored by EXHIBITOR Magazine once again. If that sounds like we’re ungrateful, nothing could be further from the truth. Here’s why…
Since 2018, EXHIBITOR has recognized the Top 40 best exhibit producers in the industry. According to Emily Olson, editor of EXHIBITOR magazine, “the competition, now in its eighth year, serves as a sort of Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval for our industry.”
Every year, Classic Exhibits has been named a FindIt Top 40 honoree. Every single year! To put that in context, we’re the ONLY private-label exhibit designer and builder on the list. The only one. Over 20 of the TOP 40 exhibit companies are Classic Exhibits Distributors, which makes our inclusion even more gratifying. We’re in rarified company (pun intended).
A HUGE Congratulations to everyone who made the 2025 list.
