RENTING VS. OWNING YOUR TRADE SHOW EXHIBIT

This infographic breaks down the key considerations of renting, owning, or taking a hybrid approach to trade show exhibits so you can make smarter decisions based on your goals and budget. Owning your exhibit gives you greater control over materials, finishes, and branding consistency from show to show, and can lower recurring costs if you’re active on the circuit—but it also comes with asset management responsibilities like storage, crating, and maintenance.

Renting, on the other hand, is typically less expensive upfront, easily adaptable, and lets you tailor your space for each event while exploring digital activations and flexible designs. A hybrid exhibit blends the best of both worlds, combining purchase elements with rental components to keep your booth fresh and functional for evolving needs. The right choice depends on how often you exhibit, your desire for customization, and your long-term trade show strategy.
