Trade Show Booth Rentals in Austin: What Is Included
Exhibitors in Austin have one job on the floor, converting attention into pipeline. Everything before that, design, fabrication, graphics, freight, labor, drayage, and show paperwork, sits on one invoice with one accountable team. You approve a photorealistic 3D rendering; we handle the rest from our Las Vegas warehouse to Austin.
Austin's signature SXSW takes over downtown every March; note that the Austin Convention Center is under a multi-year rebuild, so 2026 programming spreads across other downtown venues.
For Austin shows at Austin Convention Center, booths are pre-built and inspected in Las Vegas, then shipped on a 2–3 days transit with local crews handling install and dismantle. We rent every footprint from a compact 10x10 inline through a 50x50 anchor island. Pricing in Austin runs roughly $4,800 to $100,000 per show depending on footprint, design, AV, and materials. The footprint is the biggest lever, so start with the size grid below.

Getting Into Austin Venues
For Austin shows at Austin Convention Center, booths are pre-built and inspected in Las Vegas, then shipped on a 2–3 days transit with local crews handling install and dismantle. Our project managers confirm the drayage tier before crating and coordinate every required labor sign-off, so there is no surprise material-handling invoice after the show.
What a Austin Booth Costs
A turnkey booth in Austin runs from $4,800 for a 10x10 up to about $100,000 for a large premium island. Mid-range islands such as a 20x20 or 30x30 sit between those ends. Austin pricing reflects local labor and freight, not design or fabrication.
Custom, Modular, or Ready-to-Customize
Choose a base design and customize the graphics, commission a fully custom build from a blank rendering, or run a modular system that reconfigures across a multi-show season.
Rent or Buy for Austin Shows?
Renting wins for one to three shows a year on cash flow and design flexibility. Buying can amortize lower at five or more shows a year with stable branding, if you can manage storage, refurbishment, and freight. At island footprints the look-dated risk mid-purchase-life is real, which is why most Austin exhibitors rent.
