The buildings that host San Antonio events
A venue walk — either in person or via the published floor plan — is the step that reveals constraints no spec sheet shows. Column spacing, real ceiling height at the grid point, and dock access shape what's actually buildable.
Gunter Hotel is one of the anchors. Steeped in the rich traditions of San Antonio, the Gunter Hotel dates back to 1909.

What's included in the project scope
For programs that repeat, asset management becomes part of the engagement — storage, graphic rotation, refurbishment, and re-crating are planned rather than one-off.
Scope boundary is as important as scope inclusion.
Our proven San Antonio process
the morning of move-in.
Show hours are not an afterthought.
Pricing and scheduling
The levers that matter: build path (custom, rental, or hybrid), footprint, venue service fees, graphics, freight, and supervision days. A 10x10 turnkey rental and a 30x50 custom island with a double deck are entirely different projects.
A clean schedule starts 4 to 5 months out for custom work and 2 to 3 months for rentals. Shorter lead times are workable but push rush premiums and limit material choices.
Outcomes we optimize for
Exhibitors who measure programs seriously track leads, floor-booked meetings, and post-show pipeline. The build and the install are upstream inputs to those KPIs.
Client teams sometimes want the booth to carry the pipeline on its own, but the best-performing programs treat the booth as a platform and put real operators on it. On-floor conversation discipline moves the KPIs more than any scenic decision.
Built for San Antonio — from shop floor to convention center dock
