The 2008 Show

The 2008 PAL trade show had high attendance and a wide selection of exhibitors. In fact, nearly 2,600 people visited the show over two days last August. Together, PAL and MIAC attracted 180 exhibitors. On the PAL side of the show, exhibitors included many top companies, like:

The 2009 PAL Show

Similar events are planned for the 2009 show, which opens on Saturday, August 22.

Whether you work as a DJ, a sound engineer or music teacher, or are employed in the AV/computer rental or service industries, you may want to mark the weekend of August 22 on your calendar and plan to attend one of the most dynamic trade shows around. Attending this show will give you the opportunity of networking as well as seeing the new technology offered at the trade show.

Be sure to discuss with each trade show booth what their technology could offer you and how it would benefit you and your company. Discussing these points will give way for great product purchasing. Networking with others and getting to know what their business is about and how your businesses could potentially partner in the future is also a great reason for why businesses attend trade shows. This gives your company some exposure and potential business for the future. The people you meet at trade shows can also turn out to be great referrals for other people that you meet in the future. The more people you know the better for both you and your business. Every event you attend is a potential networking opportunity.

Take advantages of the great booths and networking opportunities at trade shows.

Rental Trade Show Displays

1. Table top displays. Today's tabletop displays are more streamlined and visually interesting than the old way of presenting information on a small surface. Table top displays come in different designs. Some are three-panel displays with graphics that Velcro into place. Some are smaller versions of pop up displays.

2. Banner stands. For small trade show exhibits, a banner stand may be all that is required. A banner stand is a frame that can hold a graphically designed banner in place. The graphics on the banner can tell the story of a company or the attributes of a product. Banners are good to use in trade show booths even if they are used as a part of a larger trade show display.

3. Portable trade show displays. There are trade show displays specifically made with portability in mind. The panels are easy to put together, many of them without even using any tools. They can be made with interchangeable parts, which give them a custom designed look. They can be shipped easily and inexpensively.

4. Pop up displays. These displays work well in trade show booths. They are made in such a way that a person can easily pull one into a trade show exhibit area and set up in a few minutes. The display is simply popped up and the graphics are put in place. There may be lighting as a part of the display, and the case may convert into a podium. Pop up displays can be table top displays and are always portable.

5. Backlit displays. Any type of display that can be set up with back-lighting will be more appealing to exhibit-goers. The light not only draws attention to the display. It also brightens the colors of the graphics and emphasizes the information given on the display. Backlit displays come in all the different models of trade show displays.

6. Modular displays. As one might assume from the name, modular displays are made up of many different parts. There might be banner walls, computer stations, and plenty of counter space. With modular displays, trade show exhibits can be arranged to suit the changing needs of the businessperson.

7. Custom displays. When trade show exhibits are seen as important investments in a business, custom displays are often used. These displays can be as elaborate as desired. They can incorporate as many design features as can effectively get the sales points across to the customers. Custom designed booths have a contemporary showroom appeal with large graphics and d'cor. Many are self-contained within the trade show.

There are many choices in trade show displays. Some of them are small and compact, while others are more sophisticated in design. The only way to determine which to buy for trade show exhibits is to look at the budget considerations and the needs of the company.
