Your Show. Your Booth. Priced by AI.

Total trade show exhibiting costs consist of 4 main components: (1) Raw convention floor space ($32–$58 per sq. ft. on average, or $3,200–$5,800 for a 10x10 booth), (2) Trade show booth hardware and custom printed graphics ($650–$1,100 for a 10x10, $1,200–$3,200 for a 10x20, or $5,600 for a 20x20 island from NXT Stage), (3) Venue drayage/material handling and electrical drops ($850–$3,800 depending on Freeman/GES rates), and (4) Turnkey round-trip freight and Installation & Dismantle (I&D) labor ($1,250–$2,200).

NXT Stage modular structural booths ($650–$5,600 across 10x10, 10x20, and 20x20 footprints) are turnkey booth rentals, whereas our 35 custom displays, signage, and booth swag items ($39–$2,580 — including 8ft, 10ft, and 20ft LED backlit SEG lightboxes, slim SEG walls, tension fabric backdrops, hard-case podium counters, retractable banner stands, dye-sublimated table covers, custom event tents, feather flags, and branded booth swag & staff apparel packs) are for purchase (yours to keep and reuse across future shows). Bundling 2 or more items in Step 2 unlocks an automatic 15% multi-item discount.

Every NXT Stage flat-rate trade show booth package ($650–$5,600) is priced with 0% broker markup and includes structural aluminum or SIP modular wall architecture, custom dye-sublimated tension fabric or direct-print graphics, commercial LED exhibit lighting, reception counter options, and a 72-hour 3D CAD pre-flight proof.

Yes. In addition to flat-rate 10x10, 10x20, and 20x20 rental packages, we engineer bespoke custom trade show exhibits, double-deck structures, private VIP conference rooms, overhead rigged hanging signs, LED video walls, custom sampling bars, and heavy-duty retail display shelving shipped directly to any North American convention center.

Trade show drayage (material handling) is the fee charged by the official general service contractor (such as Freeman or GES) to move your exhibit crates from the convention center loading dock to your booth space and store empty crates during the show. NXT Stage lightweight modular and custom millwork systems are engineered to minimize drayage weight, and our turnkey field crews handle full union-compliant Installation & Dismantle (I&D) so your team simply arrives and sells.
