The world of trade shows and events is booming, but managing them is more complex than ever. Exhibitors, agencies, and booth builders juggle deadlines, budgets, vendors, and ever-changing requirements—often across multiple projects and teams. Yet, too many are still relying on generic project management tools, spreadsheets, and endless email threads. It's time for something built just for you.


The Unique Challenges of Trade Show Project Management

Trade show projects aren’t like typical marketing or tech projects. Here’s why:

  • Multiple Stakeholders: From clients and agencies to vendors and logistics partners, everyone needs to stay aligned.

  • Tight Timelines: Most projects run 8–16 weeks, with little room for error.

  • Budget Pressure: Booth costs, logistics, and marketing all add up—accuracy is critical.

  • Changing Requirements: Floorplans, vendor quotes, and event schedules can change at a moment’s notice.

  • High Stakes: A single missed deadline or miscommunication can cost thousands—or the entire event.


Why Generic Tools Fall Short

Tools like Trello, Excel, or email weren’t made for the unique demands of trade show projects. They lack:

  • Centralized dashboards for all your events

  • Real-time expense tracking and ROI analytics

  • Vendor-agnostic workflows and document sharing

  • Automated notifications for deadlines, approvals, and budget updates

  • Templates tailored for exhibitors, agencies, and booth builders
