Boost foot traffic and leads by creating an unforgettable experience at your next trade show. Explore the guide below for most innovative and interactive trade show ideas in Atlanta!
Trade Show Labs brings branded games and interactive activations to Atlanta from our base in Houston. We ship the equipment, our own event managers set it up in your booth and run it for the length of the show, and you keep the leads.
What we bring to Atlanta
For Atlanta shows the pieces that get booked most are the social media vending machine, which asks attendees to post about your brand before it drops a prize, VR meditation rooms for wellness-themed booths, and the classic crowd-builders: the branded claw machine, the F1 race simulator, Batak Pro and Tablet Jeopardy. We also bring the Are You Smarter Than An AI Bot? trivia game, the AI photo booth, the golf simulator, the VR flight simulator, mini-drone racing, the giant Plinko board, and on-demand swag with SwagBot Beam laser engraving and SwagBot Print 3D printing. Every unit is wrapped in your branding and comes with a leaderboard or lead-capture step where it makes sense.
If you are still deciding what fits your booth size and goals, the best trade show booth games guide compares each game, and our list of interactive trade show ideas covers the wider set of demos and digital activations. The full list of trade show games and activations has current photos of every unit.
Trade Show Labs in Atlanta
We have been in and out of Atlanta for years. Atlanta United ran our social media vending machine for an activation booked through WM Events. ABCD & Company booked our VR meditation space two years in a row for their Atlanta event, and told us afterwards that "the event went really well, and the VR meditation space was a hit!" We staffed all three days of Invest Fest in August 2023, and the organizers reported afterwards that "the attendees loved the experience." Emory University has rented VR headsets from us as well.
Equipment ships from Houston ahead of the show and our event manager travels in for setup and stays through strike. Certificates of insurance naming the venue and the show contractor are issued on request.
