Exhibition Stand Builders in Calgary

Calgary's show calendar is dominated by large industrial and energy exhibitions where the stand has to hold technical conversations, not just look good from the aisle. We design and build exhibition stands for Calgary shows, including the BMO Centre and Stampede Park halls, and handle freight, install and de-rig.

Pick a time that suits you

What is included

Stand design and 3D visuals

Concepts rendered against your allocated footprint, with layouts planned around demo equipment and technical conversations.

Fabrication built to travel

Structures sized for freight into Alberta and designed to be rebuilt at the next show rather than scrapped.

Heavy exhibit handling

Layouts and flooring specced for equipment, machinery or product that has to be craned or forklifted into position.

Install, supervision and de-rig

Crew on site through the build window and show days, with overnight de-rig and storage between shows.

Built for technical exhibitions

Calgary shows draw buyers who arrive with specific questions. The stand needs a demo position, somewhere to sit with a drawing on the table, and storage that keeps cases out of sight — not just a wall of brand imagery.

Planned backwards from the install window

Freight into Calgary is the risk on most Alberta builds. Everything is scheduled from the install window backwards, with drawings approved and materials on the truck well ahead of the organiser's deadlines.

  • Organiser-approved drawings
  • Freight into Alberta
  • Install crew on site
  • Storage between shows

How we work

  1. 01

    Brief and space check

    Show, hall, stand number, footprint, height limit and neighbouring stands. We work from the organiser's manual, not an assumption about what is allowed.

  2. 02

    Design and costed build

    3D concept against your real space allocation with a line-by-line build cost covering fabrication, graphics, freight, install and de-rig.

  3. 03

    Organiser submissions

    Structural drawings, electrical orders, rigging requests and health and safety paperwork submitted and chased to approval.

  4. 04

    Fabrication and freight

    Build in the workshop, quality check, pack to travel and book freight backwards from the install window.

  5. 05

    Install, show days and de-rig

    Crew on site for install, supervision through show days, overnight de-rig and storage of the asset ready for the next show.
