How we workSame six steps, every project

Step 5 of 6: Execution

See the six steps for this

The founder’s first career was installing interactive technology on show floors around the world for global brands. The company still does it – at ISC West, InfoComm and CEDIA, ADI Global’s booths among them, and at dealer days and user conferences: video walls that go up in a day, demos that survive a crowd, and someone from us on the floor for the duration.

Video walls

LED walls built from tiles for the statement piece, LCD walls and large single displays where the content is detail a visitor reads up close. Designed for the booth and the sight lines from the aisle, bought or rented as the show demands, installed and tested before the doors open, and taken down without drama. Reliability under show conditions is the entire specification.

Demos people can try

A product a visitor can touch beats one they watch on a loop. We wire the showcase walls with live products, build the AV into demo rooms – a conference room, a classroom, a hotel lobby, a hospital corridor inside the booth – and write the software when the demo needs some, so the reset after each visitor takes a second.

The network underneath

Every demo in a modern booth is a computer on a network, and a show floor is the hardest place there is to run one. Hundreds of booths each put up their own Wi-Fi, and all of those networks are fighting for the same airwaves – so wireless that works perfectly in your office can drop out by mid-morning on opening day, just as the aisles fill.

Show Wi-Fi takes planning and professional equipment: channels chosen around the neighbors, access points built for crowds, and a cable to every demo that can take one, so the wireless is left for what has to be wireless. We bring the switches, build the rack, set up the network the demos run on and look after it for the show – the IT half of the company, on the show floor.

Onsite support

At eight in the morning on opening day something will not work. We are there, with spares, for the length of the show – so your team talks to visitors instead of to a help line.

What is included

  • Video walls, LED and LCD, bought or rented
  • Demos, kiosks and live showcase walls
  • The network and rack the demos run on
  • Install and testing before the doors open
  • Someone in the booth for the whole show
  • Teardown, packing and asset return

The shows

ISC West, InfoComm, CEDIA – and the smaller ones.

We have worked the big ones for years, ADI Global’s booths among them, and in its day COMDEX. The same team does the dealer day in a hotel ballroom.

  • ISC West

    The security industry’s show, in Las Vegas every spring.

  • InfoComm

    The pro AV industry’s show, every June – Orlando and Las Vegas by turns.

  • CEDIA Expo

    The show for the integrators who wire homes, every September.

  • COMDEX

    The computer industry’s show in Las Vegas, in its day. It closed in 2003.

And the smaller shows

Dealer days, user conferences, product launches and regional expos – the same work with less space and usually less time.

  • A global software company’s user conference – touch kiosks across the expo hall.
  • A car brand’s summer event tour – a sound game with a live leaderboard, written for the tour.
  • The PGA FedEx Cup – golf-tip touch displays for a sponsor’s hospitality space.

How a show runs with us

From the drawings to the last crate.

  1. 01

    Before the show

    We work from the exhibit house’s drawings: where every screen goes, where power and data come up through the floor, what a visitor sees from the aisle. Content is checked against the screens that will actually arrive – shape, resolution, viewing distance – the wireless is planned for a hall full of other networks, and the install around the show’s labor rules.

  2. 02

    Build days

    Walls assembled, screens hung, demos wired, the network up, and every piece tested with the real content before the doors open. If a tile is dead or a demo will not start, this is when we find out – not when the first visitor does.

  3. 03

    Show days

    Someone from us in the booth from before the doors open until they close, with spares and the tools to use them – resetting demos, changing content between sessions, and keeping your team talking to visitors instead of to a help line.

  4. 04

    After the doors close

    Teardown, packing and asset return, and notes on what to change next time. The same team does the next one, so what this floor taught us carries over.

On the floor

Booths we built and ran.

Mostly ADI Global, at the three big shows, from build day to show day. The thinking behind it is in our field note on interactive AV on the show floor.

  • A large LED video wall running live camera footage in the ADI Global booth
    LED video wall – ADI Global, InfoComm 2025
  • The same LED wall lit and tested, with protective sheeting still on the floor
    The same wall, tested before the doors opened
  • A booth being built, with displays on the wall and ladders and cases on the floor
    Build day – ADI Global, CEDIA 2026
  • An equipment rack being cabled in a booth before the show opens
    The rack the demos run on, being cabled – CEDIA 2026
  • A data center demonstration zone with server racks in a trade show booth
    Data center zone – ADI Global, ISC West 2026
  • Visitors at the ADI Global booth, with commercial audio and conferencing zones behind the counter
