20×30+$30K–$60K+$72K–$150K+

Ranges are starting points. Final costs vary based on design complexity, materials, AV and lighting, hanging signs, custom millwork, storage, refurb between shows, and show-specific services like drayage, rigging, and electrical. Premium builds for flagship shows routinely exceed the high end.

Sizing guidance

20×20 supports a video wall + 2 demo stations. 30×30+ enables multi-camera surveillance demos and partner integration zones.

Logistics

Venetian Expo has hotel-adjacent advantages but tighter loading docks than LVCC.

Choosing an execution partner

Demo-station reliability is critical — pick builders with AV/IT integration experience, not just fabrication.
