How Much Does a CWCB 2027 Booth Cost?
Real exhibitor cost (booth setup only, not including show fees, drayage, or labor). Custom builds quoted by traditional vendors compared to tool-free portable kits from AppleDisplays:
| Booth Size | Custom build (incumbent vendors) | Tool-free kit (AppleDisplays) | Setup time |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10x10 inline | $9,857 - $22,178 | $1,500 - $3,500 | 10 minutes |
| 10x20 inline | $18,482 - $43,125 | $3,500 - $7,500 | 15 minutes |
Drayage math for CWCB: A typical 10x10 setup ships ~150 lbs. At New York's advance rate of $138/cwt with a 200 lb minimum, you're looking at $276 minimum drayage just to get your booth from the dock to your space. Showsite drayage at $198/cwt adds another ~50%. Tool-free kits ship via FedEx Ground direct to advance warehouse — you pay shipping, not drayage, on most major US convention centers.
