On-Site Trade Show Operations

Installation, show support, and dismantle handled by dedicated Beaver XP crews - so your team walks into a finished booth and walks out when the show closes.

What we do

The show floor is chaos: tight move-in windows, union labor rules, drayage queues, and a hard deadline that does not move. Our on-site operations team lives in that world. We coordinate every physical detail of your exhibit at the venue - from the moment crates arrive at the dock to the moment the empty booth space is swept.

Because the same company that built your booth is installing it, problems get solved in minutes, not hours. A damaged panel, a lighting change, a last-minute graphic swap - our crew chief has the shop on speed dial and the authority to fix things on the spot. Your team focuses on customers; we handle everything else.

Process

How show operations run

1

Pre-show

We book labor, file venue paperwork, schedule drayage, and lock the install timeline weeks ahead.

2

Move-in

Our crew receives freight, supervises or performs the install, and hands you a finished, tested booth.

3

Show days

On-call support for repairs, adjustments, and swaps - most fixes happen before you notice the issue.

4

Move-out

We dismantle, inspect, crate, and ship - with a condition report so the next show starts clean.

Why exhibitors hand us the show floor

01

One accountable team

Builder and installer are the same company - no finger-pointing between vendors when timing gets tight.

02

Venue fluency

LA, Anaheim, Las Vegas, San Diego and beyond - our crews know each halls docks, rules, and union locals.

03

Real-time fixes

Crew chiefs carry spare hardware, finishes, and a direct line to our shop for same-day solutions.

04

Predictable costs

Labor and logistics quoted up front - we manage the variables so your show budget holds.

FAQ

Common questions

Do you handle union labor requirements?
Yes. We plan around each venue labor jurisdiction, book required union labor, and supervise the work - you stay compliant without navigating the rules yourself.
What happens if something breaks during the show?
Call your crew chief. Most repairs happen same-day: we stock spare parts and materials locally and can produce replacement graphics overnight through our in-house print shop.
Can you install a booth we did not build?
Yes - we regularly install and dismantle exhibits fabricated elsewhere, and can assess and repair aging properties before the show.
Do you manage drayage and freight?
We schedule and track inbound and outbound freight, manage advance warehouse deliveries, and time move-in around the drayage windows to minimize handling fees.
