We work Raleigh and Durham from Houston. The Triangle clients who have booked us are listed below, with how each job ran.
Trade Show Labs delivers branded games and booth activations to Raleigh and the Triangle from Houston. Our team sets up, staffs and packs out; yours works the crowd.
What we bring to Raleigh
At the Raleigh Convention Center and the hotels around it we run 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, mini-drone racing, and on-demand swag with SwagBot Beam laser engraving and SwagBot Print 3D printing. Each is wrapped in your artwork and paired with a leaderboard or lead form where that helps.
If you are weighing two or three units, the best trade show booth games guide compares them. Ideas that are not games sit in our interactive trade show ideas list. Photos and specs for everything are on the full list of trade show games and activations page.
VR on a bigger scale, more headsets and more staff, is our sister company's work: VirtualRealityRental.co handles VR booth rental in Raleigh.
Trade Show Labs in Raleigh
Bandwidth hosted us for a December event in Raleigh and told us afterwards, "Friday's event was wonderful... You all did a fantastic job from start to finish!" Mosaix Group has rented equipment from us for an event on Marriott Drive, and down the road in Durham, CHG ran a VR activation with our manager on site and reported "it was a great experience, everything went smoothly."
Raleigh jobs ship from Houston ahead of the show and our manager travels in for setup. Certificates of insurance for the Raleigh Convention Center or your hotel are issued on request.
