Build in the city of the show
Shipping an exhibit internationally can introduce freight timing, customs, temporary-import documentation, advance-warehouse deadlines and weight-based material-handling charges. A locally planned rental or build reduces the structural freight component and keeps the project close to the venue.
Send a brand guide, stand plan, target footprint and any existing renderings. Our team can prepare a 3D direction and discuss the US-specific constraints before your team travels.
- Briefs accepted in metric or imperial dimensions
- Project communication scheduled around time-zone needs
- US-compatible monitors, lighting and furniture can be included in the scope
What is different about exhibiting in the USA
US booth dimensions are generally quoted in feet: a 10x10 is roughly 3 m x 3 m, a 10x20 is roughly 3 m x 6 m, and a 20x20 is roughly 6 m x 6 m. Event organizers often provide basic floor space and carpet while exhibitors arrange the finished stand.
Electrical service, internet, rigging and material handling are ordered through the event’s official exhibitor channels. Product samples, giveaways and demonstration equipment may have separate customs and import requirements; use a qualified customs professional for that advice.
A practical Orlando exhibit workflow
Confirm the booth number and show manual, then share the brand files and objective for the space. The project moves through design direction, approval, final artwork, pre-show preparation, venue coordination and show-floor installation.
For repeat US events, reusable graphics and custom components can be evaluated for storage and future deployment after each show.
Events and venue planning
The Orange County Convention Center hosts international-facing events across attractions, golf, AV, health technology and consumer industries. Start with the specific event page for timing and venue details, then match your exhibit footprint to the audience and hall plan.
For travel planning, use the venue hotel guide rather than treating all Orlando resorts as walkable to the OCCC. Connected hotels differ by the West versus North/South building.
Frequently asked questions
Do you work with exhibitors who have never exhibited in the United States?
Yes. The project process can be planned around the event manual, deadlines, booth rules and the practical differences between US and international exhibiting.
Can you adapt an existing European or Asian stand concept?
Yes. Share drawings, photos and brand files so the concept can be adapted to the selected US footprint and event requirements.
How do international teams coordinate the project?
The scope, documents and design feedback can be managed by email and scheduled calls, with timelines set around the show’s official deadlines.
What should we ship from overseas?
The answer depends on your product, samples and marketing materials. A local structural exhibit reduces the need to ship booth components; import and customs advice should come from a qualified specialist.
