How Much Does a MJBizCon 2026 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 | $8,000 - $18,000 | $1,500 - $3,500 | 10 minutes |
| 10x20 inline | $15,000 - $35,000 | $3,500 - $7,500 | 15 minutes |
| 20x20 island | $45,000 - $120,000 | $19,000 - $42,000 | 30 minutes |
Drayage math for MJBizCon: A typical 10x10 setup ships ~150 lbs. At Las Vegas's advance rate of $112/cwt with a 200 lb minimum, you're looking at $224 minimum drayage just to get your booth from the dock to your space. Showsite drayage at $165/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.

What Most Exhibitors Get Wrong at MJBizCon
- Cultivation, retail, and ancillary categories are clearly separated zones — pick yours strategically.
- Many exhibitors are first-time at this scale — the bar for booth quality is rising fast.
- Late-stage move-in (Nov 29-30) collides with reInvent — drayage providers can be stretched.
