Exhibiting at FABTECH 2026
FABTECH is North America’s largest metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing event, and it rotates host cities. The 2026 edition heads to Las Vegas for the first time in a decade — October 21–23 at the Las Vegas Convention Center — before moving to McCormick Place in Chicago for 2027 (September 13–16). This page targets the confirmed Las Vegas 2026 show; because it’s a Las Vegas event and our warehouse is in Las Vegas, a FABTECH booth is delivered across town rather than shipped.
FABTECH is a machinery-and-demo show. Exhibitors anchor real equipment — lasers, press brakes, welding systems, automation cells — on the floor and run it live, which makes floor load, power and rigging far more central than at a typical exhibit. The booth has to frame working iron and support technical sales conversations.
Booths built around working machinery
Many FABTECH exhibitors bring operating equipment. A 10x10 suits a tooling, consumables, software or services supplier; a 20x20 island gives room for a machine plus a demo and meeting corner; a 30x30 supports multiple machines, a demo runway and meeting space. Floor load and power are the engineering drivers when equipment is anchored, and clear sightlines matter because the running machine is the draw.
Because the buyers are engineers and shop owners evaluating capital equipment, the booth’s job is to make the machine easy to see running and to support a serious, technical conversation — quiet meeting space included on larger stands.
The in-city Las Vegas advantage
Las Vegas is our home market and the lowest-cost of any host city, and an in-city FABTECH booth skips long-haul freight — which matters when heavy machinery and the structure around it are involved. Building in-city also lets us coordinate the equipment install with the LVCC move-in sequence and handle floor-load approvals, power and rigging for the heaviest stands.
If you also exhibit at FABTECH 2027 in Chicago, we re-plan the logistics for that union, drayage-tiered venue and re-skin one structure between the two editions.
Pricing for a FABTECH booth
Because FABTECH 2026 is in Las Vegas, the booth structure sits at our lowest tier: from about $6,700 for a 10x10 to roughly $59,500 for a premium 30x30 island, all-inclusive (heavy-machinery rigging and floor-load engineering quoted to your equipment).
Every quote is one number for the booth: design, build, graphics, local delivery, install, dismantle and LVCC paperwork.
