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.

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.
