An Exhibit Services Company Built Around Your Show
Exhibit Elevate designs and builds exhibition stands for companies exhibiting across New Orleans’s biggest industry events. We’re not a design studio that outsources fabrication, or a build shop working from someone else’s drawings — the same team carries your project from first concept through final teardown, which means fewer handoffs, fewer miscommunications, and one group accountable for how your stand actually performs on the floor.
We’ve supported exhibitors ranging from first-time trade show attendees to companies who’ve shown at the Morial Convention Center for years running, and the brief is rarely the same twice. Some clients want a completely unique pavilion; others want a lean, reusable stand they can redeploy at their next three events. Either way, our methodology starts with understanding your goals for the event and not just the size of the booth you’ve been allotted.

The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center — What Exhibitors Should Know
The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center is the sixth largest convention facility in the United States, and its 1.1 million square feet of contiguous exhibit space is all on one level – a true rarity among venues of this size, and one that makes freight movement and booth logistics so much easier than at multi-floor centers. After a substantial refurbishment with an emphasis on sustainability, the building is the largest LEED-certified structure in Louisiana. It is a short walk to the French Quarter and the Mississippi Riverfront.
The center’s show calendar covers an unusually broad set of industries: NADA Show brings automotive dealers and manufacturers to the city each year, WEFTEC draws a global audience for water technology, and the International WorkBoat Show and HPBExpo (Hearth, Patio & Barbecue) bring their own distinct crowds through the same halls. New Orleans’s reputation as a hospitality and entertainment capital shapes how these shows unfold, too — exhibitors here often find that evening networking, off-floor entertaining, and the city’s food and music culture play as much of a role in closing deals as the booth itself.
Our Exhibition Booth Design and Build Services in New Orleans
- Every exhibitor's needs look a little different once you get past the basic square footage — some clients need a full custom build from scratch, others just need their existing stand refreshed and shipped in on time. Here's what's covered when you work with us:
- Custom exhibit displays designed around your brand, product, and specific goals for the show — not adapted from a stock template.
- 3D concept visualization so you can see and approve your stand before a single panel is fabricated.
- In-house fabrication and finishing, keeping design and build under one roof instead of split across vendors.
- On-site installation and dismantling, handled by a crew familiar with the Morial Convention Center's loading and move-in requirements.
- Graphics production, from large-format printed panels to backlit displays.
- Storage and logistics support for exhibitors returning to New Orleans for recurring shows.
- Whatever stage you're starting from, the goal is the same — one team handling it end to end, so nothing falls through the cracks between design approval and move-in day.
What Sets Exhibit Elevate Apart in New Orleans
- There are no shortage of vendors that will build you a booth. What is hard to find is a team that takes the deadline seriously, takes the budget seriously and takes the end result seriously like you do. That’s the standard we set ourselves on every project at exhibit elevate:
- A single accountable team. Design, fabrication, and installation stay under one roof, so you're never stuck between vendors when something needs to change close to the show.
- Pricing you can trust upfront. We quote clearly at the start, so there's nothing unexpected waiting in your inbox once the show has wrapped.
- Delivery that holds up under pressure. We've built and installed stands on tight timelines across shows in the US, Europe, and the Middle East, and we treat every deadline as fixed.
- A growing focus on sustainable builds. Reusable materials and modular components are available for exhibitors who want their stand to reflect their environmental values as well as their brand.
- It isn’t rocket science, it’s just the essentials, done consistently. It turns out that matters more than most exhibitors think, unless they’ve worked with someone who skips them.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an exhibition stand cost in New Orleans?
Pricing is based on the size of your stand, the materials you use and whether you’re building custom or renting. Once we know your space and display needs, we’ll put together a complete quote.
How early should I book a booth exhibition designer for a Morial Convention Center show?
For major events like NADA Show or WEFTEC, starting 8 to 12 weeks out gives enough time for design approval, fabrication, and shipping — earlier if your show falls during Mardi Gras season, when local logistics get tighter.
Do you offer both custom stands and rental options?
Yes. Which one makes sense usually comes down to how often you’re exhibiting and what your budget looks like for the show.
