Tradeshow Success: Execution

Packing it up

All good things come to an end. Most shows won’t allow you to start dismantling before they close on the final day, but when it is time to break down and head home, you want to be ready with your storage crates and packing material. Booth installation and dismantling can cost a pretty penny, but there are ways to keep those figures in check. You’ll probably

be paying by the hour for union labour to install electricals and carry large parts of your display. What you can do is manage your labour and take on small tasks like fetching items from the service desk. Avoid paying overtime by knowing the rules and making enquiries beforehand. An evening or night-time tear-down on the last day of the show will probably cost you more than waiting until the next day to dismantle.
