From Design to Reality
Our specialty is custom exhibit booth design. Attracting and engaging your visitors with a meaningful brand experience is our passion and promise.
Great exhibit design deserves equally great execution. At IGE, bringing a design to life means state-of-the-art machinery, meticulous attention to detail, and the kind of craftsmanship that shows. Every project is built with careful consideration to budget and installation requirements. Always delivered on time, without compromise.
Our fabrication capabilities live entirely under our own roof. From the first structural component to the final finish, our team of designers and builders handles every detail, ensuring the exhibit that arrives on the floor matches the vision it started with.

Strategy & Design
Standing out takes more than a good-looking booth. From the first concept to the final build, every inch of your brand space is designed with purpose — balancing craft, quality, and function in equal measure. We don't just build exhibits. We help you own the floor.

Custom Fabrication
Behind every project, IGE brings the right people, places, and expertise. We manage the design and fabrication of every element in-house to let your brand talk through the space. We want your brand to look the best it can, no matter where you go.

Project Management
As your trade show partner, we want to become an extension of your team. From the strategy and planning stages, to getting your exhibit safely back in storage, we manage all the details so your team can focus on their job. Our job is to get you where you need to be.

Logistics & Installation
A great exhibit should also mean a stress free process. From transportation to on-site coordination and between-show storage, we handle the moving parts so your team doesn't have to. Every detail is managed in-house, keeping projects on schedule and your brand in good hands from the moment it leaves our facility to the moment it comes back.
A Turnkey Exhibit Studio
With artful precision and dedication, we oversee every step of the custom exhibit fabrication process and can troubleshoot issues as they arise. Our team can easily interface with others, ensuring the correct execution of the approved design. By manufacturing the designs we create with materials we trust by our own experienced craftsmen, we eliminate unnecessary middlemen and potential miscommunication than can happen when pieces of a project are passed around.
We fabricate everything using CNC Machining. First, data points of the final design are fed into the CNC computer from a CAM program. This determines and controls precise cutting movements to the exact specifications.

What are custom trade show exhibits?
A custom trade show exhibit is a display booth designed and constructed from scratch. Conceived and built to include specifically desired elements and features, the structure is the sole property of the purchaser. It is stored when not in use, transported to and from events, and occasionally refurbished with updated graphics. The average owned custom exhibit lasts about 5 years.
-
Why should I choose a custom exhibit rather than a rental?
It isn’t an issue of one being better than the other, but more that each serves a different set of circumstances. Creating your own exhibit makes sense if trade shows are a significant component of your marketing strategy and your business will be exhibiting multiple times a year. If the shows you are attending are large, you want to make sure your booth attracts attention and has a better chance of standing out. Designing your own also ensures the display will meet all your needs, regardless of the event.
-
What are the benefits of designing and owning a custom trade show exhibit?
Because it is built specifically for your business, you have full control over how your brand image is presented. Owning your own custom exhibit also means always knowing its dimensions, capabilities and limitations; there will never be unhappy surprises when you arrive at an event. Feeling comfortable and confident when attending a trade show results in being able to focus on why you are there to begin with: networking, education, and actually building your business.
-
Is designing a custom exhibit expensive?
The design and build of an original, permanent structure can be a significant cost. The average lifespan of a trade show booth is about 5 years, so the investment should be determined by evaluating how often it will be used and at what kinds of events. If shows are few and smaller in size, it might be smarter to opt for a rental instead.
-
How long does it take to build a custom trade show exhibit?
Of course it varies depending on the size, but the general average is about 8 weeks. We request 2 weeks to design and 6 weeks to build a custom trade show booth.
-
How do I care for my custom trade show exhibit?
After each use, inspect the structure inside and out before it is dismantled. Look for any tears in the fabric or potential issues beyond the usual gentle wear and tear. Relay concerns to your IGE Project Manager, who can help trouble-shoot any potential problems. A well-made exhibit shouldn’t require much maintenance if designed and built by a reputable team.
-
What if I don't want to purchase an exhibit for now?
If you don’t expect the need to invest in a permanent structure but still want something tailored to your brand, we offer rental options that we can customize.
