Local Exhibits

What Local Exhibits does

Local Exhibits is a privately held, Orlando, Florida-based B2B services company that designs, fabricates, and manages trade show exhibits and environments for businesses exhibiting at major US conventions. The company was founded in 2019 and operates with a staff of 11-50, serving clients across verticals that include technology (HP), construction (TAMKO, Anchor Construction), industrial (Garrett), marine/aquatic (Martin Aquatic), night vision/security (ACT Night Vision Systems), and optics/eyewear (Capri Optics), with a claimed cumulative portfolio of 1,000+ brand engagements. Service coverage spans major trade show markets including Las Vegas, Orlando, Chicago, Anaheim, and Tampa, drawing on relationships with drayage providers Freeman and GES and union labor expertise for installation and dismantle.

The company's technology stack centers on 3D design and rendering, custom fabrication with premium materials, modular reconfigurable exhibit systems, LED lighting integration, and digital display technology. The product portfolio covers eight categories: Custom Exhibits, Rental Exhibits, Show Services, Support Services, Pop-Up Displays, Double Deck Exhibits, Inline Exhibits, and Modular Exhibits. Project management is end-to-end, spanning concept design, fabrication, shipping, storage, on-site installation, dismantle, and asset management—coordinated through vendor relationships rather than disclosed proprietary software platforms.

The business model is project-based with quote-only pricing and no public rate card. Customers fall into three segments: B2B companies attending trade shows for brand awareness, education, demonstrations, or product launches; frequent exhibitors (5+ shows per year) needing scalable, flexible solutions; and occasional/first-time exhibitors requiring rental options. Pricing benchmarks indicate rental exhibits run $15,000-$35,000 per show for structure and $17,000-$45,000 all-in, while purchased 20x20 booths cost $80,000-$150,000 to build and $155,000-$320,000 over five years including storage, graphics, maintenance, and shipping. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales via website-driven free-quote requests and consultation-driven proposals; no resellers or third-party distribution channels are used. The company maintains no disclosed funding rounds, no public parent company, and no institutional ownership.

• 3D Exhibits: Custom exhibit design and fabrication house serving enterprise clients at major US trade shows. Comparable offering in custom exhibits and I&D services with similar target buyer profile.

Others
