What Project Tradeshow does

Project Tradeshow, Inc. is a privately held US corporation founded in 2018 and headquartered in Seaside, California. The company designs, fabricates, and distributes tradeshow displays, custom exhibits, and marketing graphics for marketing and tradeshow professionals across the United States. Founder Gregory Bonds leads the business, which operates with 1–10 employees under a sales-led go-to-market combining an e-commerce storefront, dedicated sales representatives, phone-based consultations (408.387.9421 / 844-847-7941), and nationwide delivery plus on-site Installation & Dismantling (I&D) services.

The product portfolio spans stock displays (banner stands from $69, 8x8 to 20x20 portable displays, backlit solutions), custom fabrications in truss, extrusion, fabric frames, aluminum tubing, and steel, an X1 Modular System accepting Xpressions and SEG (Silicone Edge Graphics), and EZ6 truss configurations up to 40x40 feet.

The company holds G7 quality certification and offers end-to-end execution from conceptual design through on-site show support.

Project Tradeshow generates revenue through three primary streams: (1) one-time product sales ranging from $69 banner stands to $19,000–$47,000 premium 20x20 island exhibits, (2) Turnkey Rental Solutions (TRS), a recurring rental program bundling booth, shipping, storage, and I&D services, and (3) professional services including conceptual design at $125 per hour and standalone I&D work. The customer base is horizontally segmented across enterprise (Northstar Artists, Codasip, Tenmast Software), mid-market (BCS Group, Kanavel Group), and nonprofit organizations (Defy Ventures), with repeat high-volume enterprise relationships such as Tenmast Software's 30+ events per year. The company is bootstrapped and founder-owned with no external funding rounds disclosed.
