When it comes to Milwaukee, it’s all about standing out. That means you need trade show ideas that give your booth the same kind of energy and originality that this city is known for.
Trade Show Labs brings branded games and interactive activations to Milwaukee from Houston. Our event managers set up in your booth and run the activation for the whole show.
What we bring to Milwaukee
For the Baird Center and the Wisconsin Center District we bring the VR flight simulator, which has done particularly well here, the F1 race 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, mini-drone racing, and swag made in the booth with SwagBot Beam laser engraving and SwagBot Print 3D printing. Everything is branded to you and can carry a leaderboard or a lead-capture step.

Way.com ran our giant Plinko board in booth 710 at the International Parking & Mobility Conference and Expo in Milwaukee in May 2026, shipped in through GES. Two summers earlier Plum Media booked two VR flight simulators with two event managers for a pair of August events a week apart, and wrote to us that "the addition of the virtual reality simulators to this event was just fantastic... we had people lining up."
