How we run it
Our the services engagements connect creative, fabrication, freight, AV, install, and on-site supervision under one project lead so the format actually fits the venue and the calendar.
That matters because the way a the services program reads to its audience is decided well before show open — by the brief, the venue match, and the production schedule we run against.
Execution priorities
- Sponsor activations are coordinated with venue services so signage, AV, and power orders match the room.
- Attendee circulation drives booth placement and stage angles instead of pulling layout off a sales deck.
- Closeout produces a benchmarks sheet so next year's brief starts from real numbers.
The buildings that host Palm Springs events
Different Palm Springs venues mean different floor plans, different labor rules, and different freight realities — and the services is sized to the building, not the city average.
When the brief is a the services, a venue walk — either in person or via the published floor plan — is the step that reveals constraints no spec sheet shows.

How Palm Springs floor operations work
Labor on the services runs venue-by-venue, not citywide. Each Palm Springs building publishes its own rules for who handles what on the floor.
When the brief is a the services, practically, that means pulling the current exhibitor manual for every show and confirming a handful of items in writing: which tasks the venue's house crews cover, which tasks the show's general contractor covers, and what an exhibitor or their appointed contractor can handle without escalation.
When the brief is a the services, the Palm Springs Convention Center publicly routes exhibitors and planners to official in-house providers instead of presenting the building as an unrestricted vendor environment.
Palm Springs neighborhoods and event districts
When the brief is a the services, westbound and High-Desert Extension Markets covers Desert Hot Springs, Cabazon, Banning, Beaumont.
When the brief is a the services, Palm Springs Convention and Downtown Core runs across Palm Springs, Downtown Palm Springs, Uptown Palm Springs.
Line items on a typical project
When the brief is a the services, typical line items include booth structure (custom or rental), graphics and print, AV and lighting, show-service orders (power, internet, rigging), labor calls against the venue's rules, freight both ways, on-site supervision, and post-show closeout documentation.
The handoffs on a the services project matter almost as much as the line items. Design has to hand a build-ready drawing to fabrication. Every handoff is a place quality can drop.
How a project runs
When the brief is a the services, every engagement begins the same way. From those four inputs, a real plan can be built.
When the brief is a the services, production covers fabrication, graphics, AV spec, rentals, and crew chief assignment.
When the brief is a the services, install days are owned by a single on-site lead.
When the brief is a the services, strike and closeout happen the same day.
Pricing and scheduling
When the brief is a the services, six variables drive the cost: custom versus rental, booth footprint and complexity, venue-specific labor and rigging fees, graphics scope and substrate, freight distance and timing, and the number of on-site supervision days.
When the brief is a the services, lead time drives everything. Custom: 16 to 20 weeks. Rental: 8 to 12.
Outcomes we optimize for
When the brief is a the services, most programs in Palm Springs are evaluated on lead-capture volume, meetings booked on the floor, and qualified-pipeline attribution after the show.
