A custom exhibit represents a significant investment, and proper installation helps ensure it appears and functions as designed when the show opens. Professional I&D teams work from detailed plans and understand the sequencing, labor, and venue requirements involved in assembling trade show exhibits. Metro coordinates installation and dismantle with the broader exhibit program, helping reduce the burden on your internal team and providing continuity from pre-show preparation through post-show packing.
Before the show, custom booths can be pre-set in Metro’s warehouse so components, hardware, and graphics can be reviewed together. The exhibit is then broken down, packed, and transported to the venue or advance warehouse. At the show, trusted labor partners use detailed installation plans to rebuild the exhibit. For more complex projects, a Metro site supervisor can remain involved from project meetings and warehouse pre-set through onsite installation.
Metro coordinates installation for a wide range of trade show exhibits, from straightforward configurations to complex custom environments. Larger or more intricate projects may require additional labor, specialized equipment, rigging, electrical coordination, or onsite supervision. Installation planning is based on the specific exhibit design, venue rules, move-in schedule, and services required.
Once the event ends, the exhibit is carefully disassembled and packed for its next destination. Purchased exhibits may be prepared for storage or transportation to another event, while rental components are returned as appropriate. Metro can coordinate dismantle with outbound freight and storage so your team does not have to remain onsite managing each post-show step.
These are separate categories of show-related services, and the exact costs and responsibilities depend on the event and project. Installation labor covers assembly and dismantle, while drayage, electrical, rigging, and other venue services may be provided or controlled by designated show contractors. Metro can coordinate these requirements and help manage the associated forms and schedules, but your proposal should specify which charges are included and which are billed separately.
For more complex projects, Metro can provide a site supervisor who maintains continuity from project planning and warehouse pre-set through installation at the show. The need for onsite supervision depends on the booth, venue, complexity, and project scope. Detailed installation plans are also used to help labor teams assemble the exhibit correctly.
Metro supports installation and dismantle as part of its turnkey exhibit programs and works with trusted labor partners to execute projects at trade shows and conventions. Metro also maintains more than 100,000 square feet of warehouse space across the country, supporting exhibit preparation, pre-sets, storage, and equipment availability as part of the broader I&D process.
