Questions

Common questions

Where do I start planning a trade show booth?

With the budget and the size. The booth cost guide and calculator give 2026 prices by size, rented or custom built; the sizes guide shows what fits in each; then brief builders with the RFP template or one Exhivo brief.

Are the prices in these guides real?

Yes. Every price and figure names its source, such as an exhibit house's published price list or a venue's exhibitor rules, with the date we checked it. The guides cite 46 sourced facts in all.

Are the tools free?

Yes. The cost calculator, ROI calculator, checklist and RFP template are free and need no sign-up. Getting quotes from builders is free for exhibitors too.
