IBS and KBIS 2027 are a little under 9 months away. That sounds like plenty of runway until you factor in booth location, exhibit design, fabrication, and freight.

Early planning gives you options: better placement, smarter budgeting, a design process that doesn't feel rushed. We put together a full IBS/KBIS 2027 exhibitor guide if you're starting to think it through.

Everything you need to know about exhibiting at KBIS and IBS during Design & Construction Week 2027: dates, costs, venue guide, and expert booth tips.

At Event Marketer’s , one question kept coming up:

What should AI be doing, and what should humans be doing?

The answer we kept hearing: AI handles the process. Humans make the moment. The brands figuring out that balance right now are building a compounding advantage.

We wrote up everything we took away from the summit, take a read at the 🔗 below!

We turned a 10x20 shipping container into a VIP lounge for F1 at the F1 Miami Grand Prix, and we had a lot of fun doing it.

Dual lounge environments, integrated cooling, a curated refreshment station, and a branded photo moment built for sharing. Full weather protection included, because Miami in May has opinions.

Not a bad place to spend some time between races🏎️🏁

At , we built exhibits for Bridgestone and Southern Tire Mart and two very different stories on the same show floor.

For Southern Tire Mart, it was a first. Their debut at TMC, sharing a space with Pilot, grounded by a large backlit map graphic that made the partnership visible from across the aisle.

For Bridgestone, the exhibit did double duty. Eighteen tires on display, a central technology hub anchoring the space, and a debut: the new Bridgestone Fleet Portal. The build had to hold attention and communicate a product launch at the same time.

Different clients. Different goals. Our same standard.

Earlier this month, our team attended Wish Ball 2026 as a proud sponsor of Make-A-Wish Minnesota. The evening raised over $1.3 million to grant wishes for children across the state, and we are so glad we got to be part of it.

There are still 250 Minnesota kids waiting for their wish. Events like this are why that number keeps getting smaller.

Thank you to Make-A-Wish Minnesota for an unforgettable evening!

Happy Earth Day🌎🌱🌳

This is a throwback to a General Mills exhibit we built a few years back, centered around regenerative agriculture. The message stuck with us. Soil, a garden path, a structure that put visitors inside the story.

But so did the responsibility behind it. From how we source materials to the programs we run to keep waste out of landfills after a show closes, sustainability is something we work at every day.

Raspberries you can smell. And they’re on the wall?!

We fabricated the 3D fruit for this wallscape with Colossal Media. They were 3D printed, coated, sanded, and primed before Colossal hand painted them on site. We also built the hidden scent machine, so the whole area smells exactly like SAINT LAURENT’s new Libre Berry Crush❤️🫐🍓

More on how these were made coming soon.
