New Orleans is known for its vibrant culture, and that energy can be harnessed to make your trade show a success. With our team at Trade Show Labs, we offer a range of innovative and interactive New Orleans trade show ideas that will make your booth stand out and attract attendees. Our team specializes in creating unforgettable experiences that set your brand apart from the competition.
Trade Show Labs brings branded games and interactive activations to New Orleans from Houston, a few hours up I-10. Our event managers set up in your booth and run it for the length of the show.

For the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center and the hotels around the Quarter we bring mini-drone racing with a licensed pilot, the F1 race simulator, the VR flight simulator, the golf simulator, Batak Pro, Tablet Jeopardy, the Are You Smarter Than An AI Bot? trivia game, the AI photo booth, the branded claw machine, the social media vending machine, the giant Plinko board, VR headset packages, and swag made on site with SwagBot Beam laser engraving and SwagBot Print 3D printing.

For a full VR booth with more headsets and staff, our sister company VirtualRealityRental.co handles VR booth rental in New Orleans as well.
Trade Show Labs in New Orleans
Valcourt Group ran our mini-drone racing in booth 555 at Apartmentalize 2026 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, three days with two event managers and an FAA-licensed drone pilot. New Orleans is the closest major convention city to our Houston warehouse, so equipment travels by road rather than freight.
