7 Quick Tips to Trade Show Booth Selection

What You Should Know about Trade Show Booth Selection

  • Trade show exhibit booth space is assigned based on booth size and show seniority
  • Location is only one factor in selecting an ideal exhibit booth space
  • Keep some distance between you and your competitors
  • Restrictions on height can vary by show and by country

In general, trade show exhibit booth spaces are assigned based on an exhibitor’s past participation in the show (seniority). Exhibitors who attended in the past are contacted first and allowed to select their space. New exhibitors are contacted later.

You can usually draw a triangle from the entrance of the show hall and determine where the highest demand spaces will be. There are other show hall spaces with good visibility and high traffic potential that are less obvious than the ones in this triangle. For new exhibitors with a sharp eye, prime spaces may be available later in the selection process. It is not uncommon for exhibitors to cancel their reservation on a booth space, sometimes months and even weeks before the show. The show organizers will be happy to move you into this more favorable location if they know you are willing to move. More.
