When to start planning your stand
Work backwards from the show’s opening day. The deadlines that matter most are set by the organizer in the exhibitor manual: stand design approval, service orders (power, rigging, furniture) and contractor registration. As a rule of thumb, start a custom stand at least two to three months before the show, and earlier for large or double-deck stands. Our booth production timeline lays out every step.
