a bad one has many, because they weren't.

Install days are owned by a single on-site lead.
Throughout show hours, the on-site lead stays present.
Strike and closeout happen the same day.
Budget and timeline
Every project has the same cost drivers.
Lead time drives everything. Custom: 16 to 20 weeks. Rental: 8 to 12.
Outcomes we optimize for
Most programs in Miami are evaluated on lead-capture volume, meetings booked on the floor, and qualified-pipeline attribution after the show. The booth is a means to those numbers — it is not the number itself.
A week after the show, the booth's actual floor performance is already clearer than any pre-show projection. We document those observations alongside the technical closeout so the next cycle inherits real signal, not nostalgia.
