06

Brands they have built for

Named clients from the builder's own portfolio, labelled as the builder's claim.

How we are paid

Free for exhibitors

Exhibitors never pay Exhivo. Builders pay a commission on work won through a brief, so our interest is the same as yours: a booth that gets built well and on time.

We never resell a brief, and it goes to at most 5 builders. Lists on the site are ordered by the rule stated on each page, such as Google rating, number of reviews or whether the builder is local.

What we publish

  • Only builders that passed vetting
  • Ratings from Google, never self-reported
  • Prices with their source and the date we checked them
  • Show dates from each show's official website

Where the builders are

Vetted builders across the country.

Head offices by state and city. Many also travel to the big convention centers, which each city page counts.
