Backed by 14 years of experience in the event-planning industry, ShowPro's professionals can take an event from idea conception and staging straight through to closing and tear down.

ShowPro is set up in a multi-layered system, with products and services tailored to suit the needs of both large and small-scale events. It provides flexibility for companies to choose one, several or all elements from ShowPro.

"ShowPro offers client consultations to assess needs and determine a plan of action," Griffith says. "We sit down and look at what your goals are, determine ways to reach your objectives and employ a workable strategy."

"Some people may have an idea that's beyond their budget, but we can help them maximize that budget to the fullest. There are also ways of producing revenue from the event and turning it back into building a larger event."

Once contracted, ShowPro provides each exhibitor with a show services package outlining all of the products and services available. Using a convenient checklist, the exhibitor can then check off what they need. This ensures that everything is set up for the exhibitor at the event.

ShowPro can also produce all the graphics and signage for your event, as well as display graphics for the individual exhibitor.

Even though ShowPro may not be involved in organizing a particular event, any company can retain their services to install a booth, have it set up and ready to go, and then dismantle dis·man·tle
