It has been a month since we returned from EXHIBITORLIVE 2019 in Las Vegas, Nevada. For those of you who may not know what EXHIBITORLIVE is, it is the “trade show for trade shows”, where the biggest and the best marketers and display houses strut their stuff to potential clients and competitors alike. This annual showcase of industry design, materials, technology and more affords a unique glimpse into hot trends and new trade show tools. This year what struck me was the creative use of lightboxes, canopies, LED tiles and interactive technology.

I have been in this industry for 28 years. As an active CEO, I feel like I have seen it all, then I realize that no two days or shows or clients are the same in our Industry. So many times clients and prospects come to us with a design request that is merely based on trend, what’s hot now, and do not take into consideration the structural elements or lifespan of their investment. When it comes to designing a new display, or restyling an old one, function and structure should be your #1 priority
