The Best Exhibit and Event Fabricators Serving the Experiential Marketing Industry
Like the industry it serves, the landscape of exhibit builders fabricating trade show booths, branded installations and outdoor activation structures for corporate clients is in a state of constant evolution.
Maximalism is on trend, but so are purposeful materials. Trade shows are back with exhibitors leaning heavily into experiential principles. Artificial intelligence tools and other seamless technologies for engagement and measurement are changing the game, as top shops add in-house technology teams to provide equally seamless expertise. And overall, fabricators are working hard to be viewed as strategic partners, in addition to vision makers.
More than a decade ago, we started the Fab 50 at a time when the industry hit a growth spurt and corporate event marketers were asking us for help making sense of the partner landscape. Today, as timelines shrink and the pace at which business and the entire industry operates moves at lightning speed, partners need to act fast and thoughtfully.
And so, to help brand teams, procurement departments and more explore who’s out there and what they do, we bring you the annual Fab 50, our editorial listing of the top exhibit and event builders in North America. This year, we welcome newcomers and returning shops, as well as seasoned veterans with a host of investments to share.
Our editors uncovered what makes each shop unique as far as history, capabilities and the work.
Whether you’re in the market for a trade show exhibit, museum display, outdoor installation, consumer activation or just want to get in the fast lane of ideation, the following list provides the names you’ll need to put the pedal to the metal.
Presenting, the 2024 Fab 50.
