Custom Booth Design for Architecture Brands

June 10–13 | San Diego Convention Center

At AIA26, attendees compare materials, finishes, and project work in real time. Your booth should make samples to evaluate and conversations easy to start. We can design trade show booth rentals for AIA26 with strategic layouts, lighting, and zones, backed by turnkey service with local expertise. Here’s what we can build for you:

  • Material Sample Display Walls: Integrated wall systems designed to hold physical samples like finishes, panels, or substrates. Visitors can see scale, texture, and detail up close without cluttering tables.
  • Digital Review Counters: A dedicated counter with integrated tablet or screen placement for 3D walkthroughs, plus room for printed plans. Helps you present work without pulling people into the aisle.
  • Discussion Zones: Defined seating areas set just off the aisle. Open enough to feel inviting. Structured enough for focused design and specification conversations.

Let’s build something amazing for AIA’26!

Frequently Asked Questions

Start with how you plan to engage attendees at AIA26. If you need hands-on material review, prioritize sample walls and good lighting. If your focus is project storytelling, prioritize screens and a clear presentation flow. Meeting-heavy teams should budget for defined seating that does not block traffic. We map your goals to a layout so you are not paying for space you will not use.

AIA26 schedules are driven by the exhibitor manual, target move-in, and union labor rules at the venue. We build your timeline backward – from show opening to coordinating labor call times, freight arrival, on-floor access windows and so on. The goal being a booth that is ready for a final wipe-down, product placement, and team walkthrough, pre-show.

Short transit reduces freight risk and makes timing easier to control. A local team is also more familiar with venue workflows, material handling norms, and common service constraints. If anything needs attention onsite, response time is usually faster because of the proximity.

The biggest drivers are scope clarity and early deadlines. Lock your layout early, confirm what is included, and set dates for artwork, approvals, and service orders. We keep it organized with a dedicated project manager and a checklist that covers the items that typically get missed, like power drops, internet location, and counter/storage needs.

Typically our exhibit rental packages include design, the booth structure, printed graphics, lighting, furniture, and project management. Labor for installation and dismantle is included when specified in the scope. We also coordinate show services like electrical, internet, and rigging so orders match the final floor plan.

Look for a team that can cover the full job end to end, not just design. Ask whether they fabricate in-house or outsource the build, and whether they have locales in Las Vegas. Check if their quote is inclusive of the entire scope of work. Most importantly, confirm who is responsible for coordinating timelines, labor, and on-site execution so nothing falls between vendors.

Ideally, you should start planning 4–6 months in advance. This gives enough time to define your layout, confirm display and meeting needs, and finalize graphics without rushing decisions. It also helps secure preferred installation windows and avoid last-minute costs tied to labor and show services.
