Avoiding Mistakes while doing Booth setup

It is important to analyze the floor plan of a building and include tips on how to avoid the most common mistakes made when doing a Booth setup in Las Vegas.

At TrueBlue Exhibits, we have seen many exhibitors pick a booth space only to get to the show and be totally surprised that a large hall column is in their space or blocking their visibility. However, when they go back and look at the floor plan, they soon realize the little black square, which they thought was a floor electrical box, was actually a support column.

We often hear exhibitors say, “The show people didn’t tell me about this or that.”

Well, think about it: If you wanted to sell booth spaces, you would show a potential exhibitor the floor plan, have them pick the space, and then sign the contract. Moreover, you have no incentive or reason to point out any deficiencies or obstacles in the hall.

Now, we would like to point out that no one is trying to be deceptive because all the information is on the floor plan and in the show kit details. I’m just saying, it is up to you to find it.
