Who handles what during the San Jose install window

Most of what goes wrong on a San Jose install traces back to assumptions about labor. Staying inside the venue's published rules for the specific show prevents it.

On most San Jose shows, the labor plan takes one call with the venue's exhibitor services desk, one review of the current manual, and one email to the general contractor. Skipping any of those three is usually where problems start.

What's included in the project scope

Individual projects layer or remove items based on scope.

a bad one has many, because they weren't.

Those run alongside the engagement rather than inside it.

From first call to strike

Venue coordination comes next.

During show hours, the booth is a live operating space.

That document drives the next booking.

Cost and lead time

Cost scales with how it is built, how big it is, what the venue charges for its own services, what the graphics look like, how far the crates travel, and how many days the team stays on-site.

Lead time drives everything. Custom: 16 to 20 weeks. Rental: 8 to 12.

Outcomes we optimize for

Trade show ROI is measured at the lead and pipeline level.

A week after the show, the booth's actual floor performance is already clearer than any pre-show projection. We document those observations alongside the technical closeout so the next cycle inherits real signal, not nostalgia.
