Holiday Hours

We would love to close during Christmas or New Year’s week, but your persistent design, quote, and order requests make that impossible. 😊 😉 😉 We’re obviously delighted and thankful for your business. It’s been a hectic November and December. 

We expect an exciting 2020 Q1 as we head into a new decade filled with exciting projects.  Our Holiday Hours are…

  • December 24, Closing at 2 pm. Closed Christmas Day.
  • December 31, Closing mid-afternoon. Closed New Year’s Day.

The Fab 50

Each year, Event Marketer Magazine selects the 50 Best Exhibit Builders. Otherwise known as The Fab 50. It’s a tough list to make, and we are delighted to be one of the honorees. It’s our fifth time! 

See the announcement here. See the full list here. Congratulations to all the other 2019 Fab 50 Exhibit Builders. 

Here’s a weird fact about the Fab 50. Classic Exhibits is the only company on the list that’s a supplier to 29 of the 49 other winners. Yep. Kinda weird but also really great. We love our Distributor Partners and are overjoyed they made the list. We are also proud to be their supplier and to be recognized by Event Marketer for our own, albeit often hidden, merits as North America’s Largest “White Label” Exhibit Builder.  

EXHIBITOR Portable Modular Awards

Once again, we scored multiple finalists in the 2020 EXHIBITOR Portable Modular Awards. Nine Classic and Eco-Systems designs this year. Does it get old being named a PMA finalist year after year? IT DOES NOT! 

Congratulations to the Classic and Eco Distributors that allowed us to submit their projects. To see all the finalists by category, click here. To vote for the annual PMA People’s Choice Award, click here. You can vote once a day per device for the next 100+ days.

Please note the banner ad at the top of the page (InCharg Charging Solutions). For the seventh straight year, Classic Exhibits is sponsoring the People’s Choice PMA page. 

EXHIBITORLIVE 2020

Yes, it is really kinda late this year. Officially March 29 thru April 2 for the conference. Just in case you are counting, Classic Exhibits has had a booth at every single EXHIBITOR.

This year we’re taking a different approach. We’ve reserved about the same sq. footage as in the past, but instead of an island, we’ll have two perimeter inlines (#220 and #242). One will feature our new Symphony System. The other will be… well, we’re still deciding but it will have a decidedly custom appearance and theme.

If you are attending EXHIBITORLIVE and want a FREE exhibit hall pass, go to this page and enter code 4044. There’s no limit on the number of free passes so share and share away. Seriously, please SHARE!

Trade Show Tips to the Beat of the 2010s

The two biggest mistakes regarding trade shows? People not planning ahead of time, and people not following up once they get home.

No wonder some people get so stressed out.

Symphony Portable Modular PERFECTION!
