One Team, Start to Finish, for Your Orlando Show
A show at a venue with the size of the Orange County Convention Center puts a lot on the line — freight schedules, install crews, graphics deadlines, and a design that actually has to work once it’s surrounded by hundreds of other exhibitors. Exhibit Elevate does that full chain in-house, instead of having different contractors for different parts. The same folks who design your stand are responsible for how it appears and operates once it’s manufactured, shipped and standing on the floor.
We’ve developed for exhibitors coming to their first Orlando show and for firms that make OCCC a regular stop on their calendar and the short change every time. Some clients want a stand large enough to anchor a hall entrance; others want something modest, efficient, and reusable across several shows a year. What stays consistent is that we start by understanding what you actually need from the show, not by pushing a standard package.

The Orange County Convention Center — What Exhibitors Should Know
The Orange County Convention Center is the second-biggest convention center in the US. Its West and North/South Buildings together have about 2.1 million square feet of exhibition space. This is the second best venue after McCormick Place in Chicago. There are 1.1 million square feet of exhibit space in the West Building, which is all on one level. Over International Drive, there is a raised walkway that connects the two buildings. OCCC is also the world’s biggest convention center to receive LEED EBOM Gold certification. It has one of the largest solar arrays on its roof in the southeastern US.
That scale is matched by the range of shows it hosts. IAAPA Expo brings theme park and attraction professionals from more than 100 countries, the PGA Show draws golf industry buyers and manufacturers from over 80 countries, and InfoComm and MEGACON bring entirely different crowds through the same halls each year. Orlando’s convention district sits in the middle of one of the busiest tourism corridors in the country, surrounded by more than 100,000 hotel rooms which means exhibitors here are often competing for attention not just against other booths, but against a city built entirely around holding people’s attention.
What Makes Exhibiting in Orlando Different
Orlando’s exhibition culture is largely influenced by its status as the theme park capital of the world, and that influence is felt on the convention floor in ways it isn’t in most other cities. Attendees here are used to immersive, well produced settings before they even enter into a hall, which elevates the baseline expectation for what an engaging booth looks like. Here, a stand that depends on interactive experience features, powerful lighting, a clear sense of mood tends to do better than a strictly informational display. And think about Orlando’s year-round convention schedule and strong seasonal tourist traffic: book hotel blocks and freight slots as soon as you can, especially for shows that run during peak summer theme park travel or big holiday times.

Your Partner for High-Impact Trade Show Success in Orlando
When exhibiting in Orlando, it is necessary to compete for attention in the second-largest convention center in the country. Attendees are accustomed to immersing themselves in highly produced environments before entering the show floor. Decisions that are made in advance, rather than during the week of move-in, yield the most advantageous results.
At Exhibit Elevate, your project has one crew from the initial concept sketch to the final deconstruction. You’ll approve a full 3D render before anything is constructed, and a professional project manager keeps you informed during fabrication, shipment and installation, so there’s no guesswork once you’re on-site.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an exhibition stand cost in Orlando?
Cost depends on stand size, materials, and whether you choose a custom build or rental. We provide a detailed quote once we understand your space and show requirements.
How far in advance should I book a stand builder for an OCCC show?
For major shows like IAAPA Expo or the PGA Show, we recommend starting the design process 8 to 12 weeks ahead to allow time for approval, production, and logistics — earlier if your show falls during peak tourist season.
Do you build stands for shows outside the Orange County Convention Center?
Yes. We also design and build for other venues and hotel-based conferences across the Orlando area.
Can I get both a custom stand and a rental option?
Yes. We offer both, and can help you decide which makes sense based on how often you exhibit and your budget for the show.
