What is the average cost to furnish a booth at ISA EXPO?

There is a “furnished option” for in-line booths (not islands) which includes carpet, 2 chairs, a draped 6’ table, waste can, company sign and a one time booth cleaning before the exhibition opens. The cost for the furnished package is only $125.00 per 10’ x 10’ space. You can select this option at the time you reserve your exhibit space, or you may add it later.

You may also order booth furnishings and services separately through the Exhibitor Services Manual. For a 10’x 10’ exhibit space, basic furnishings would include carpeting, 2 chairs, a draped 6’ table, waste can, booth cleaning before show opening, and a lead retrieval machine. The average cost for this combination is approximately $800.00. You may also want to add floral arrangements, extra chairs, shelving or other items which would be additional. The official service contractor also provides rental booth structures. These rental units are available in a variety of styles, sizes, and options, and can be customized for your company with graphics and messaging. Costs for rental booths range from less than $2,000 for a 10 ’x10’ unit to more than $20,000 for island spaces.

The above is an estimate for budgetary purposes. Each individual company’s requirements are different, so it is prudent to plan carefully, and to budget more than you think you will need in order to cover any contingencies that may arise on-site at ISA EXPO.

In addition, the Exhibitor Services Manual will include other furnishing packages for in-line and island booths.
