Exhibit Rentals for Photonics, Lasers & Optoelectronics Professionals
May 19-20, 2026 | Charlotte Convention Center, Charlotte, NC
CLEO is positioned as the premier international forum for scientific and technical optics. It unites laser science and opto-electronics across basic research and industry applications. The expo adds a highly interactive layer with hands-on demonstrations, poster activity, and a networking lounge that keeps conversations moving.
- Make your booth discoverable: Clarify what you do and where you win. Use crisp claims around performance, wavelength coverage, stability, throughput, and integration readiness.
- Run immersive demos all day: Build a demo loop that stays stable during peak traffic. Prioritize screen visibility, secure mounts, clean power, and fast reset for hands-on product discovery.
- Create a comfortable meeting destination: Include a focused conversation zone for design-in discussions, evaluation plans, and technical Q&A with researchers and product teams.

End-to-End Execution for CLEO Conference
- In-house Production: About 97% of your booth components are built in-house, which allows tight control over build quality and timelines. This is critical for exhibitors at CLEO, where timelines are sensitive.
- Pre-Show Trial Run: Your booth goes through a full trial run before shipping. We deliver photos and a video walkthrough, so you can review the booth and request any adjustments before approval.
- All-Inclusive Quote: You receive one clear quote covering design, fabrication, graphics, logistics, installation, and dismantling. This helps your team plan budgets confidently without unexpected costs post show.
- One Point of Contact: A dedicated project manager oversees your booth from concept through show close. They coordinate design reviews, technical requirements, and timelines so you can focus on presenting.
- On-Site Support: A supervisor is present during installation to ensure the booth is set up as planned. If minor adjustments are needed to accommodate, we address them wherever possible on site.
- Turnkey Services At CLEO Conference: From design to dismantle, we manage the complete Charlotte exhibit rental process so your CLEO team can focus on live demos, technical discussions, and meetings with researchers, engineers, and industry buyers.

Frequently Asked Questions
Booths are visited by researchers, engineers, scientists, product developers, and technical decision-makers from academia, national labs, startups, and established photonics and optoelectronics companies.
CLEO attendees value clarity and depth. Booths should prioritize live demonstrations, application-based messaging, and space for focused technical discussions rather than broad marketing displays.
Yes. We design exhibit rentals with stable power, secure mounting, vibration-conscious layouts, and clear demo zones to support optical setups, instrument demos, and controlled hands-on interactions.
CLEO bridges both. While the conference emphasizes scientific research, the expo attracts companies commercializing photonics technologies and engaging in early-stage evaluation, design-in discussions, and collaboration planning.
Poster sessions, plenaries, and topical tracks drive highly targeted traffic. Booths located and designed for quick re-entry conversations perform best, allowing exhibitors to reconnect with attendees after sessions.
Planning should begin at least 8-10 weeks in advance to accommodate technical demo requirements, AV planning, shipping of sensitive equipment, and pre-build validation.
Yes. We also design and build booths for SPIE Photonics West, OFC Conference, and the Advanced Photonics Congress, helping your brand connect with optical engineers, laser researchers, and photonics innovators across the global optics and photonics industry.
