Planning this size
Planning a 20×30 trade show booth
The extra 10 feet over a 20×20 is usually spent on a closed storage or meeting room and a second demo area. A 20x30 trade show booth design often puts the tall elements at one end so the open side faces the main aisle.
Many exhibitors rent at this size because the structure is large to store. A 20x30 trade show booth rental with custom graphics gives you the space without owning the build.
