Buyer Questions

How does Tampa Convention Center's rigging policy affect what we can build?

Tampa Convention Center has specific hanging-sign and rigging rules that we plan around — ceiling height limits, weight per anchor point, and required certified-rigger coordination. Our drawings reference those rules so the field install doesn't get held by the fire marshal.

What's a realistic budget for a custom 20x20 booth at Florida Bar Annual Convention?

A 20x20 custom fabrication at Florida Bar Annual Convention typically runs $35K-$65K for the structure alone, depending on materials, hanging elements, and finish complexity. Add graphics, AV, freight, drayage, and labor for the all-in number — we quote those line by line.

Can the booth be reused at the next cycle of Florida Bar Annual Convention?

Yes, and we design for it. We also store the crates between cycles if you want.

How early do we need to start fabrication for Florida Bar Annual Convention?

For a full custom build at Florida Bar Annual Convention, plan on 8-12 weeks from approved drawings to crating, plus another 2-3 weeks for graphic print and apply. Hybrid rental-to-custom builds compress to 4-6 weeks, and pure rental can be 2-4 weeks depending on inventory and graphics complexity.

Do you build the booth in Tampa or ship it in?
