Exhibiting at IMEX America 2026
IMEX America 2026 Booth Rentals — What Exhibitors Get
IMEX America draws destinations, hotels, DMCs and 3,700+ meetings-industry suppliers to Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, NV, October 13–15, 2026. IMEX is the meetings industry's own trade show — destinations, venues and event suppliers building hospitality-first stands to host pre-scheduled buyer appointments. Turnkey booth pricing for this show runs roughly $36,800–$59,500 for a 30x30 island on a fully-inclusive basis, with smaller inline footprints starting near $6,700. Because the show is in our home market, freight is short and labor is familiar — most of your budget goes into the booth itself rather than logistics.
Who This Footprint Fits
IMEX stands are hospitality-forward; 10x20 to 20x20 with seated meeting areas is the norm, scaling to 30x30 for destination pavilions. Where we see the right fit at IMEX America:
- Destinations, CVBs and tourist boards hosting hosted-buyer meetings
- Hotels, resorts and venues with appointment-driven booths
- DMCs, event-tech and production suppliers
- Teams running back-to-back scheduled buyer appointments

Las Vegas Logistics
Las Vegas is our home market. Booths leave our warehouse fully built and inspected, then move across town to the hall — no long-haul freight risk, and our crews work these venues weekly.

2026 Pricing Detail
A turnkey 30x30 island for IMEX America typically falls between $36,800–$59,500. The variance tracks design complexity, AV and monitor count, and architectural detail:
- $36,800–$44,300: clean professional build, backlit fabric, standard counters, LED lighting.
- $48,200: monitor walls, upgraded lighting, second meeting room, theater capability, hospitality — the mid-market sweet spot.
- $59,500: premium materials, architectural ceiling, sound-private rooms, custom lighting design.
Rent vs Buy
For one to three shows a year, renting at $36,800–$59,500 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 IMEX America exhibitors at this footprint rent.
