The busy trade show season is upon us again, which means it is time for companies to send their portable exhibits on the the road. This might be a good time to pay attention to the new portable options on the market for exhibitors.

There are now more portable display options than ever before. There had been a period in the early part of this decade when innovation in exhibit design was lacking but that has been changing. Portable popup displays of course, are as popular as ever. Even truss exhibit kits  have become more portable over the last year.  Now truss is combined with other elements like tension fabric and slatwall in very attractive and functional ways.

What has changed is that over the past year three new portable displays have been introduced that fall into the mid-range of $5-10,000.00. These displays work for those looking to move beyond the introductory pop up but not ready to spend $15,000.00 on a 10' custom exhibit.

How do we define a portable trade show exhibit?

1. It ships via UPS or FedEx.

2. It can be set up by 2 people in less than an hour.

In spite of news out of Wall Street, there is an underlining current of optimism among businesses as evidenced by their continued participation in trade show events.
