Trade Show Booth Construction & Fabrication

A great booth design means nothing if it’s built badly. Panels that don’t line up. Lights that flicker. Walls that wobble. Visitors notice.
That’s why we build our own booths. Connect Exhibit has handled trade show booth construction in our own shops since 2014. We cut, build, print, test, and ship every booth ourselves.

Inside Our Booth Fabrication Shops

Most companies send your booth to someone else to build. We don’t.

Close to 97% of each booth is made in our own production houses. That’s real trade show booth fabrication, done by our own crews. We have shops in:

• Las Vegas, NV: for trade show booth construction in Las Vegas and shows across the West
• Orlando, FL: for shows in Florida and the Southeast
• Chicago (Aurora), IL: for the Midwest
• Atlanta (Lawrenceville), GA: for the South

Building close to your show means shorter shipping, lower costs, and faster fixes if anything changes.

Unlike a trade show booth manufacturer that sells the same kits to everyone, our trade show exhibit fabrication is made to order for your brand.

What We Build

We handle every kind of trade show exhibit construction:

• Inline booths (like 10×10 and 10×20), with one open side
• Peninsula booths, open on three sides
• Island booths (like 20×20 and bigger), open on all four sides
• Double-deck booths, with a second floor for meetings or lounges
• Modular and mixed builds, which mix custom parts with reusable frames

We also build counters, demo stations, meeting rooms, storage closets, product displays, and hanging signs.

Materials We Work With

The right materials make a booth look sharp, stay strong, and travel well. For custom exhibit fabrication, we often use:

• Aluminum Frames
• Wood and laminate panels
• Fabric graphics (SEG)
• Acrylic and glass
• Metal parts
• Energy-saving LED lighting
• Flame-retardant fabrics and finishes, as most shows require

Want a greener booth? We can reuse parts and choose eco-friendly materials.

Our Shop Tools and Skills

Our crews handle every step under one roof:

• CNC cutting and routing
• Carpentry and finishing
• Metal work and welding
• Painting and laminating
• Large-format graphic printing
• Lighting, LED wall, and AV setup

When it’s all done in-house, nothing gets lost between vendors.

Built to Follow Show Rules

Every show has its own rules. Break one, and your booth could be stopped on the show floor. So we plan for them from day one.

Good booth construction follows:

• Height limits for inline, peninsula, and island spaces
• Fire safety rules for fabrics, wood, and other materials
• Hanging sign rules, including weight limits and rigging points
• Double-deck rules, which often need stamped engineering drawings
• Open-side rules, so your booth doesn’t block your neighbors

We read your show’s exhibitor manual and build to match it.

Booth Construction Questions

What is trade show booth construction?

It’s the work of turning a booth design into a real booth. That includes making the parts, printing graphics, adding lights, testing it, and setting it up at the show.

Booth fabrication is making the parts in the shop: cutting, building, and finishing. Booth construction covers the whole job, from fabrication to setup on the show floor. We do both.

Most custom booths take 8 to 12 weeks from first call to show day. Rush jobs are possible. Just ask.

Inline, peninsula, island, double-deck, and modular or mixed booths.

Yes. Double-deck booths often need engineering drawings and extra approvals. We handle that for you.

Yes. We use flame-retardant fabrics and finishes, as most convention centers require.

Yes. Our Las Vegas production house handles exhibit fabrication in Las Vegas for shows at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Mandalay Bay, and more.

Look for a trade show booth construction company with its own shops, a real portfolio, test builds before shipping, and crews that know show rules.
