Trade shows offer the ability to connect with your clients, partners, and suppliers from all over the world in person. When planning your trade show, it’s important to take advantage of all the opportunities to meet. A great way to do this is to set up in-person meetings. Trade show meetings give you critical facetime you could not otherwise get. A great way to take advantage of meetings is to host them in your trade show booth.

Why Host Meetings In Your Trade Show Booth

There are many advantages to hosting meetings at your trade show booth. First, renting meeting space at the trade show can often be out of budget. Often, marketers will try to host meetings outside of the show, but frequently, attendees are too busy to attend. Further, you never know who is going to stop by your booth. Having a meeting space in your booth is affordable and helps you meet attendees on their terms.

What Types Of Seating Are Available For Trade Show Booths

An exhibit designer can add any professional seating to your booth, including:

● Bar Stools: Choose stools for casual conversations at standing-height tables.

● Couch: Add a couch for a comfortable, private setting ideal for detailed discussions or group talks.

● Executive Chairs: Opt for executive chairs that offer high-end comfort and a professional look.

● Folding Chairs: Go for folding chairs when you need portable, easy-to-set-up seating.

● Lounge Chairs: Place lounge chairs for comfortable, relaxed seating during long or informal meetings.

● Ottomans: Select ottomans for flexible, informal seating that also serves as décor.

● Stadium Seating: Use stadium seating to create space for demonstrations or encourage group engagement.

When choosing seating for your trade show booth, choose options that reflect your trade show goals.

How To Decide The Best Type Of Seating For Your Exhibit

When selecting seating for your exhibit, start by considering your booth’s layout. Make sure the seating is not in the flow of traffic. For quick, informal one-on-one meetings, choose compact options like bar stools or lightweight chairs that keep traffic moving. If you need space for more in-depth, private conversations, create a dedicated area in the back with lounge chairs, ottomans, or seating pods for a comfortable, intimate setting. Work with your exhibit designer for the best options.
