A trade show venue sets rules that exhibitors only discover late: how high a booth may be, what the floor can carry, and when a hanging sign is allowed. These guides collect the published figures for the main venues in 25 U.S. cities, grouped by market size, so you can compare cities before you commit to a show.
Tier 1: the six major markets
Las Vegas, Orlando, Chicago, Los Angeles, Anaheim and New York host the largest trade show calendars in the country. The guide covers the main venue in each city, its published ceiling height, floor load and permitted booth height, the shows that run there, and what to know before you build and ship.
Tier 2: nine more cities
Austin, Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Miami, Nashville, San Diego and San Francisco follow the same format: venue facts, the booth rules each show publishes, and the practical points for working in the city.
Tier 3: ten regional markets
Indianapolis, Louisville, Houston, San Antonio, New Orleans, Washington DC, Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Philadelphia, Detroit and Phoenix: the regional venues where many industry shows return every year, with the same venue tables and booth rules.
