What is a Trade & Convention Booth Build?

A trade or convention booth is a brand's entire world compressed into a few hundred square feet — and Beatrox designs, fabricates, and installs them from Portland, Oregon for exhibitors nationwide. A professional booth build is the design, fabrication, and installation work that makes that footprint outperform everyone around it: structure, graphics, lighting, interactive media, and the logistics of getting it all in and out of a convention hall on a brutal schedule. You need a purpose-built exhibit when a pipe-and-drape rental can't carry your message: product demos that need integrated displays, experiences that need interactive technology, or a brand presence that has to look unmistakably yours from across the hall. The best booths behave like miniature experiential events. Convention environments are unforgiving — short install windows, strict union and venue rules, thousands of people leaning on your walls. A booth built by an experienced production team handles all of that quietly, so your staff can focus on the conversations that matter.

What BEATROX Provides

Beatrox delivers turnkey exhibit builds: design and engineering, custom fabrication, interactive media integration, graphics and signage, show-services coordination, and install/dismantle logistics. Because we're an experiential production company — not just a booth house — our exhibits can include the same LED walls, sensors, and real-time media we build for major events. For El Camino, we produced a Comic-Con exhibition for Netflix in New York — a high-traffic fan environment where finish quality and durability had to survive constant public interaction across the convention. For the G-MAN Experiential Campaign with Toyota x MTV in Los Angeles, we delivered an experiential event build supporting the campaign's public-facing experience. And our FLIR Interactive History Wall at FLIR's Washington, DC headquarters demonstrates the exhibit-grade side of the craft: an ultra wide-format interactive display with touch-free LIDAR interaction and AI computer vision, engineered for reliability and low maintenance — the same thinking we bring to booths that need to run flawlessly from open to close.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you work within convention center and union rules?

Yes. We coordinate show services, labor requirements, and venue regulations as part of every booth project, and we plan install and dismantle around the hall's actual move-in windows.

Can our booth include interactive technology?

Absolutely — that's where we differentiate. Our exhibits can integrate LED walls, touch-free sensors, and real-time media, like the LIDAR-driven interactive history wall we built for FLIR.

Do you build reusable booths for multiple shows?

We design modular systems that break down, crate, and reassemble across a multi-show calendar — protecting your investment and keeping the look consistent city to city.

How far in advance should we start?

Ideally 10–12 weeks before the show for a custom booth, though we've executed on tighter timelines. The earlier we start, the more of the budget goes into the booth itself rather than rush logistics.
