IBIE material handling, drayage & electrical costs
Services are ordered through the official show contractor. Typical exhibitor-paid costs:

IBIE union labor rules in Las Vegas

IBIE exhibitor deadlines & move-in schedule
Exact IBIE order deadlines and move-in / move-out times are published only in the official IBIE exhibitor manual / service kit. As a general planning guide, most U.S. shows follow this pattern:
- Discount / advance-order deadline: typically about 4–6 weeks before opening — ordering early usually saves ~25–40%.
- Advance warehouse / freight deadline: usually about 2–4 weeks before opening.
- Exhibitor move-in / setup: commonly begins 1–3 days before the show opens (large islands and hanging-sign booths earlier).
- Show dates: Sep 9, 2028 – Sep 13, 2028.
- Move-out / dismantle: starts right after the show closes.
These are general estimates, not official IBIE dates. Verify every deadline and move-in/move-out time against the official IBIE exhibitor manual / service kit.
IBIE booth rental, custom booths & used booths
For IBIE you can commission a new custom booth, rent a modular exhibit, or buy a used / pre-owned trade show booth and have it refurbished and rebranded — often at a fraction of a new custom build. Browse used trade show booths →. Have a booth to sell after the show? List it on BoothFlip →.
