Planning a trade show presence is one of the most complex budget exercises B2B marketers face. Between booth design, travel, staffing, promotional materials, and post-show follow-up, costs can spiral quickly—and without a clear framework, ROI becomes impossible to measure.

This **Trade Show Booth Budget Planner** gives marketing teams and event managers a single place to map every line item, set lead generation targets, and calculate projected return before committing to an event. Whether you're evaluating a small regional conference or a flagship industry expo, this template helps you build a defensible business case and stay on budget throughout the planning cycle.

### Why use Paperform for trade show budget planning?

Paperform's **calculation engine** lets you model costs in real time as you fill out the form—updating totals for booth construction, freight, labor, and marketing spend without opening a separate spreadsheet. Conditional logic shows or hides sections based on your booth type (modular, custom, rental), so you only see the fields that matter to your event strategy.

Once submitted, this budget can flow into your **project management tools, finance systems, or CRM** via Stepper (stepper.io) workflows, triggering approvals, syncing with your ERP, or creating tasks for each stakeholder. If you need sign-off from finance or executive leadership, you can route the completed budget through **Papersign (papersign.com)** for fast eSignature approval, keeping everything auditable and on the record.

### Built for marketing teams, agencies, and event professionals

This template is designed for:

 - **B2B marketing teams** planning trade show participation across multiple events each year
 - **Event managers and coordinators** responsible for booth logistics, staffing, and vendor coordination
 - **Marketing agencies** managing client event budgets and demonstrating ROI post-show
 - **Sales leaders** who need to justify event spend based on pipeline and lead quality targets

The form captures booth design and construction costs, shipping and drayage, staffing and travel, promotional materials, technology and AV, pre-show marketing, and post-show follow-up—then ties everything to your lead and revenue goals so you can calculate cost per lead and target ROI before you sign a contract.

With Paperform's flexible design, you can embed this planner in your intranet, share it as a branded landing page for internal stakeholders, or duplicate it for every event in your calendar. **AI Insights** can also help you compare budgets across multiple shows, spotting trends in spend efficiency and helping you allocate budget to the events that deliver the best return.

If trade shows are a cornerstone of your B2B strategy, this template turns budget planning from a spreadsheet scramble into a repeatable, data-driven process that earns finance's trust and helps your team hit ambitious lead and revenue targets.
