Trade Show Booth Design Focus Group Recruitment

Help Shape the Future of Trade Show Booth Design

Are you a trade show exhibitor looking to make a bigger impact at events? We're conducting a focus group to better understand the real-world challenges exhibitors face when designing and operating trade show booths—and we want your input.

Whether you're a seasoned exhibitor or just getting started with trade shows, your experience matters. This focus group will explore everything from booth size constraints and traffic flow to lead capture technology and behind-the-scenes storage challenges that often get overlooked.

Why Your Input Matters

Trade show booths are a significant investment for businesses across industries—from tech startups to manufacturing companies, professional services to consumer brands. Yet many exhibitors struggle with booth designs that don't quite work for their goals, whether that's generating qualified leads, showcasing products effectively, or simply managing the logistics of a multi-day event.

By participating in this research, you'll help shape booth design solutions that actually address the pain points exhibitors face. Your insights will inform better layouts, smarter storage solutions, more effective lead capture systems, and booth configurations that drive real ROI.

What We're Looking For

We're recruiting exhibitors from a variety of industries and experience levels. Whether you exhibit at large industry conferences, regional trade shows, or local business expos, we want to hear about:

• Your booth size and layout challenges – What works, what doesn't, and what you wish you could change
• Traffic and engagement goals – How you measure success and what visitor numbers you're targeting
• Lead capture methods – From business cards to badge scanners to mobile apps, what's actually working
• Storage and logistics – The behind-the-scenes reality of managing materials, samples, and equipment at events
