You can also customize your booth graphics directly with Freeman's team of exhibit professionals. Booth packages are available in the following sizes: l0xl0', 10x20' and 20x20'. THIS IS ALL AVAILABLE AT THE SAME BOOTH PRICE AS 2017 AND START AT $7,000.

Plus, we have simplified the shipping process and increased savings. In 2018, you will only be charged for what is shipped. No minimum weights as previously required.
