Frequently asked questions
What's the fastest way to use these resources?
If you have a show on the calendar, start with the matching event guide and the city guide for the host city — those two pages cover 80% of planning decisions. Then layer in the booth cost guide for the size you need.
Are these guides written by booth builders?
No. Exhibit Bridge is independent of the builders we reference. Our guides are written for exhibitors and reviewed by trade show specialists with 10+ years sourcing booths across CES, HIMSS, SEMA, and similar shows.
How often is content updated?
City, event, and cost pages are reviewed at least twice a year. Event timelines are refreshed before each show's annual cycle.
