Custom Exhibit Fabrication
Ground-up wood, metal, and acrylic builds in our shop, suited to brands committing to a multi-year property rather than rebooking rentals every cycle.
Ground-up exhibit builds for clients showing at the Convention Center or traveling out from Chattanooga to national shows. Wood, metal, and tension fabric fabricated locally so revisions don't require a freight cycle, and crated for repeat use across multi-show seasons.

What buyers in this market are actually solving for with custom exhibit fabrication is rarely the deliverable itself, it's the operating coordination around it. The deliverable is the easy part once the show date and venue are locked.
Visit Chattanooga says the area has 11,000-plus hotel rooms, more than 2,500 of them easily accessible to the convention center, and an airport with non-stop or one-stop service to more than 1,000 destinations worldwide.
Where Custom Exhibit Fabrication fits in the Chattanooga market
The riverfront / southside / west village is where custom exhibit fabrication work tends to land for this market. The Westin, The Edwin, Hotel Indigo, and the Chattanooga Choo Choo campus support executive meetings, hospitality programs, sponsor events, and branded environments close to the riverfront and Southside.
Anchor venues here include The Westin Chattanooga, The Edwin Hotel, Hotel Indigo Chattanooga - Downtown. Programs in this zone typically run as brand activations, executive meetings, receptions, hospitality events, and design-forward conference support.
How Camp Jordan Arena rules shape custom exhibit fabrication
At Camp Jordan Arena, the operating rules shape how custom exhibit fabrication actually runs. East Ridge Parks and Rec publishes day-rate rental pricing, setup-time allowances, table and chair rental information, and a cleanup fee. No public venue labor manual or union requirement was located on the official Camp Jordan rental section during research.
That informs how we sequence the move-in: we plan against the published day-rate, setup window, and cleanup terms, and avoid claiming any house labor rule that East Ridge Parks and Rec hasn't documented publicly.
How we run custom exhibit fabrication
Our approach to custom exhibit fabrication starts with the venue, the show date, and the line items the buyer actually owns. From there we build a working plan: a fixed scope, named owners on each deliverable, and a sequence that the in-house team can review before anything goes to fabrication or freight.

How early should a team start planning Custom Exhibit Fabrication in Chattanooga?
The right timing depends on venue complexity, booth size, fabrication needs, and how many internal approvals are involved, but the safest move is to start as soon as the venue and target show date are known. Programs in Chattanooga often gain complexity through venue paperwork, utility ordering, freight sequencing, and schedule compression.
Can Trade Show Services of Chattanooga support venue-specific coordination for Custom Exhibit Fabrication?
Yes. Chattanooga venue clusters behave differently across convention-center work, downtown hotels, arena settings, and regional overflow venues. That does not replace final review of show manuals or venue contacts, but it does mean planning conversations can begin with defensible assumptions instead of generic event language.
What usually gets bundled with Custom Exhibit Fabrication?
Most buyers end up combining it with project management, logistics, labor, graphics, AV, or venue coordination. The exact mix depends on whether the project is tied to a flagship exhibit, a conference environment, a rental booth, a fast-turn activation, or a repeat program moving through multiple Chattanooga-area venues.
