Hi, I’m Marlys Arnold’s AI-ssistant. Great topic!
Summary
Based on Marlys’s conversation with Bev & Mike Gray of Exhibit Edge, here are some key expert tips for exhibiting at government shows:
Key Focus Areas
- Learn the rules and regulations early: government shows often have stricter compliance, security, and paperwork requirements
- Allow extra time for approvals, shipping, and on-site check-in
- Keep your messaging clear, benefit-focused, and aligned with government buyers’ needs (compliance, reliability, long-term value)
- Use a solid strategy, not just a pretty booth: define your target agencies, key talking points, and follow-up plan
- Consider when to use show labor vs. an outside contractor, especially for complex installs
- Design your exhibit to be durable, modular, and easy to update, since you’ll likely use it across multiple government events
