Automotive trade show booth design

The vehicle is the hero; the booth frames it and handles heavy traffic. A good automotive booth — or exhibition stand — is built around that.

Must-have elements

Builder's tip: Check vehicle display rules: battery disconnection, fuel limits and how the car gets onto the floor.

Which size works

Most automotive exhibitors start at 10×10, 10×20 or 20×20 ft in the US, and 3×3, 6×3 or 6×6 m in Europe. Brands that need meeting rooms or several demos usually move to a peninsula or island.
