Exhibiting at IAAPA Expo 2026
IAAPA Expo 2026 Booth Rentals — What Exhibitors Get
IAAPA Expo draws 26,000+ attractions-industry professionals from 100+ countries to the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL, November 16–20, 2026. IAAPA Expo is the global attractions industry's premier event — a large-equipment floor where ride, game and entertainment suppliers build big, demonstrative booths. Turnkey booth pricing for this show runs roughly $66,300–$107,200 for a 30x30 island on a fully-inclusive basis, with smaller inline footprints starting near $12,100. Orlando pricing runs above our Las Vegas home market — most of the difference is freight and venue services, not design or fabrication.
Who This Footprint Fits
IAAPA is equipment-heavy: 30x30 and larger islands stage rides, games and attractions; smaller suppliers run 20x20 and 10x20 inline. Where we see the right fit at IAAPA Expo:
- Ride, attraction and game manufacturers
- Family-entertainment, water-park and FEC suppliers
- Ticketing, technology and food-service providers
- Exhibitors staging large or operating equipment
What's Included in a Orlando Rental
Every quote is turnkey — one number on the proposal covers every line below:
- Photorealistic 3D rendering before approval
- Full pre-build and inspection at our Las Vegas warehouse
- Complete graphics production (backlit fabric, direct-print or tension fabric)
- Round-trip freight from Las Vegas to the Orange County Convention Center
- Certified, labor-compliant install and dismantle
- Show paperwork — EAC filing, COI, electrical orders, drayage coordination
- One dedicated project manager from kickoff to load-out
- AV specification, sourcing and on-site setup
Orlando Logistics
Florida is right-to-work, so Orlando labor is more flexible than union markets — but drayage and material-handling still need to be ordered correctly. We confirm targets before freight leaves Las Vegas. Plan freight for 5–7 days of transit and confirm your target move-in window early — the Orange County Convention Center fills its docks quickly during IAAPA Expo.
2026 Pricing Detail
A turnkey 30x30 island for IAAPA Expo typically falls between $66,300–$107,200. The variance tracks design complexity, AV and monitor count, and architectural detail:
- $66,300–$79,900: clean professional build, backlit fabric, standard counters, LED lighting.
- $86,800: monitor walls, upgraded lighting, second meeting room, theater capability, hospitality — the mid-market sweet spot.
- $107,200: premium materials, architectural ceiling, sound-private rooms, custom lighting design.
Rent vs Buy
For one to three shows a year, renting at $66,300–$107,200 per show wins on cash flow and design flexibility — you re-skin graphics each cycle and never carry storage or refurbishment. For five or more shows on stable branding, purchase can amortise lower, but at island scale the cost of looking dated mid-purchase-life is real. Most IAAPA Expo exhibitors at this footprint rent.
