What Cort Events does
Cort Events is a Las Vegas-based furniture rental provider serving the U.S. trade show and events industry. Founded in 1972 and operating as a private subsidiary of CORT, the company rents furniture, drape, and accessories to exhibitors, exhibit houses, and general contractors across nationwide event venues. Its product portfolio spans trade show and exhibit house furniture rental, outdoor furniture, pipe and drape, powered furniture, custom branded furniture, meeting and conference furnishings, stage sets, lounges, and hospitality setups, organized around signature collections such as the Endless Collection® and Posh Collection.
The company's digital platform supports online ordering, account management, and space planning via the My Space Planner tool and a self-service portal for qualified exhibit house partners, while catalog browsing and inspiration content are delivered through the corporate website and social channels. Core proprietary technology is therefore light: a rental e-commerce and planning stack rather than a deep software product.
Cort Events makes money through recurring rental fees on furniture and accessories, with pricing set quote-by-quote based on event type, duration, and quantity. Go-to-market is executed through a two-layer channel model: general contractor partners nationwide serve as the primary ordering interface inside show kits, while a dedicated Strategic Account Manager (SAM) program provides direct service to qualified exhibit design and producing companies.
