SPACE design + production has extensive art fair and trade show experience, having produced over 200 events both nationally and internationally. Our team works with clients to maximize production savings and develop revenue streams while creating site specific environments that manifest brand identity.
SPACE offers a range of design and production services that can be tailored to each events’ needs, from exhibition lighting and equipment rental to the full scope of event design, logistics, operations and exhibitor management.
We manage all event logistics including permitting, third-party vendors, exhibitor communication and booth extras processing. Our Team works to streamline operations for a seamless event.
We directly oversee each stage of load-in, build, opening, public days and load out. We ensure that each element is executed on time and on budget for the entirety of the venue lease.
We work with clients to design custom and detailed floorplans in AutoCAD for each event and venue ranging from 15,000 to 200,000 square feet.
SPACE’s lighting inventory includes thousands of feet of lightweight aluminum triangle truss and over 5000 LED floods, spots, narrow floods and MR15s. For tents or outdoor events, we also have 350 high powered high bay LED lights.
We collaborate very closely with clients and have established decades long relationships that are rooted in communication, consistency and trust.
