A 30×30 exhibit booth is a 900 square foot island: big enough for a closed meeting room, a lounge, a hospitality counter and a video wall, with aisles on every side.
Most 30×30 trade show booths cost between $50,000 and $250,000. At $100 to $250 per sq ft, a custom 900 sq ft island comes to about $90,000 to $225,000. Large custom islands with conference rooms, hanging signs and LED walls can run $250,000 to $500,000.

Planning this size
Planning a 30×30 trade show booth
At this size the booth becomes a destination. 30x30 booth design usually builds around a two-sided core: meeting rooms and storage inside, graphics and screens outside, with open zones in each corner.
Most 30×30 booths are custom builds or large rentals. Builders who list this size usually also handle the hanging sign, rigging, AV and show labor.
