A Smarter Way to Find Exhibit Builders: Why Exhibitorly Is Changing the game.

Trade shows are high-stakes. Your booth is your brand. So why is finding the right exhibit builder still so hard?

If you’ve ever tried to book a booth design and construction partner for a major trade show, you’ve probably experienced some version of the same story: Google search overload, an inbox full of unhelpful “contact us” forms, and three-week waits just to get a quote that may or may not be relevant.

Now imagine doing this for CES, SHOT Show, or VMX — shows where the competition is fierce, expectations are high, and every square foot counts.

That’s exactly why Exhibitorly exists.

We’re one of the only U.S.-based platforms that allows exhibitors to compare, choose, and request quotes from multiple vetted exhibit builders, all in one place, and optimized per event. Whether you’re preparing for a show in Las Vegas, Orlando, or Anaheim, we make finding the right partner faster, simpler, and more transparent.

Here’s how we’re changing the game.

The Problem: Exhibit Builder Selection Is Still Stuck in the Past

Despite the modern marketing stack and AI tools everywhere, most companies are still using surprisingly outdated methods to find exhibit builders:

  • Searching “booth builders for [show]” on Google
  • Clicking into pages of single-vendor websites
  • Sending blind RFQs through email or LinkedIn
  • Asking industry contacts for referrals and hoping for the best

If that works for you, great. But most of the time, it leads to:

  • Poor response rates
  • Slow timelines
  • Quotes that are way over budget or off-spec
  • Vendors that aren’t actually experienced in the show you’re attending

The irony? You can compare hotels, flights, rental cars, even marketing software but there was no efficient way to compare exhibit builders… until now.

The Market Gap: Why Most “Solutions” Still Fall Short

There are some exhibit directories and vendor listing platforms out there. But they typically suffer from one (or all) of the following:

  • Outdated listings or stale vendor info
  • No quoting mechanism — you still have to contact each vendor manually
  • No trade show-specific filtering (huge red flag — not every vendor serves every show)
  • No quality control, any company can list, even if they’re unproven

What trade show marketers need is choice, curation, and clarity. That’s exactly what Exhibitorly is built to deliver.

What Is Exhibitorly? (And Why It’s Built Differently)

Exhibitorly is a purpose-built platform that connects exhibitors to vetted exhibit builders, with show-specific filters and a quoting system that works like modern B2B tools should.

Here’s what makes it different:

Compare Multiple Vendors for the Same Show

You select the trade show you’re attending, and it shows you only vendors who actually serve that show. No guesswork, no cold outreach to random builders.

Submit Your Project Once. Get Multiple Quotes

Exhibitorly’s smart quote system allows you to submit your project once, size, budget, and goals, and get matched to several top exhibit builders who respond directly.

All Builders Are Vetted

Exhibitorly reviews every exhibit builder before adding them to their platform. You won’t find unverified listings or one-time freelancers. Just proven professionals with real experience in shows like CES, ICSC, The NAMM Show, and more.

Built Around U.S. Shows

From Las Vegas to Orlando, its coverage is focused on the most important trade shows in the U.S. and the builders who know how to navigate them.

Built for Exhibitors, Not Builders

Most directories are sales tools for exhibit builders. Exhibitorly is a solution for you, the exhibitor, to save time, money, and mental bandwidth.

Let’s Walk Through a Real Example

Let’s say your company is attending SHOT Show 2026. It’s your first year exhibiting, and you need a 20×30 booth that stands out but you don’t have an existing vendor.

Traditionally, your process might look like this:

  1. Google “SHOT Show exhibit builder”
  2. Click on 8–10 individual vendor sites
  3. Fill out 5–6 contact forms
  4. Wait a week for replies (some never come)
  5. Get on discovery calls with random sales reps
  6. Compare quotes manually (if you even get them)

Now here’s what it looks like with Exhibitorly:

  1. Go to Exhibitorly.com
  2. Choose “SHOT Show 2026” from the trade show list
  3. Fill out your booth details once
  4. Get matched to 3–5 builders who know the show and want your project
  5. Review quotes, compare portfolios, and move forward with confidence

Which one would you rather do?

How Builders Benefit Too

It’s not just exhibitors who win. Our vetted exhibit builders love Exhibitorly because it removes the noise and delivers qualified leads who actually intend to build.

Builders get:

  • Leads matched by trade show, not random web traffic
  • Project scopes up front (saves time on qualification)
  • A level playing field to win business based on merit, not SEO tricks
  • Higher close rates from better-fit clients

Everyone wins when the connection is intentional.

Who Exhibitorly Is For

We’re not for everyone. And that’s by design.

Exhibitorly is built for:

  • Growth-stage brands investing in high-ROI shows
  • Marketers and sales teams who want faster turnaround and better visibility
  • Procurement professionals who need multiple bids before finalizing a vendor
  • First-time exhibitors who don’t have a go-to partner
  • International companies entering the U.S. trade show market for the first time

Whether you’re exhibiting at PGA Show, NAMM, TISE, or VMX, Exhibitorly gives you a shortcut to trusted vendors who already know the floor plan.

The Future of Trade Show Planning Is Comparison-First

Exhibitors are more informed, more selective, and more digital than ever before. They don’t want to be sold to. They want to compare.

We believe the future of trade show planning is:

  • Transparent
  • Searchable
  • Builder-neutral
  • Efficient
  • Show-optimized

That’s not a vision. It’s what Exhibitorly delivers today.
