the morning of move-in.
Cost and lead time
Six variables drive the cost: custom versus rental, booth footprint and complexity, venue-specific labor and rigging fees, graphics scope and substrate, freight distance and timing, and the number of on-site supervision days.
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.
How project performance gets measured
Most programs in San Antonio are evaluated on lead-capture volume, meetings booked on the floor, and qualified-pipeline attribution after the show. The booth is a means to those numbers — it is not the number itself.
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.
