FAQS About CES
When Should I Start Planning for CES?
It’s never too early to start planning for CES. Ideally, you should begin 9-12 months in advance if you’re looking for a truly immersive and experiential environment. This advanced planning will ensure everything from strategy and design to fabrication and logistics is thoughtfully accounted and planned for. Starting early allows for creative flexibility, approvals, and securing premium resources like booth placement and early discounts.
Is There Anything Important to Know About the Venues Ahead of Time?
Yes. CES spans multiple venues, including the Las Vegas Convention Center (LVCC), Sands Expo, and nearby hotels, which each have unique layouts, rules, and access points. Understanding floor plans, freight access, and setup timelines ahead of time will help you avoid delays. For example, the LVCC requires precise scheduling for freight deliveries, and space limitations can influence your booth design.
What Else Should We Know About Pre-Show Planning?
Pre-show planning is critical to a smooth CES experience. This includes registering early to secure prime booth locations, finalizing your design well ahead of deadlines, and understanding CES regulations like height restrictions and fire codes. It’s also a great time to plan pre-show promotions, align your messaging strategy, and ensure your technology integrations are tested and ready to go. A large part of pre-show planning should be around measurement, if your team can identify key objectives and what’s important to measure, our team can help create integrations and experiences that drive towards these objectives.
What Types of Exhibits Could We Have?
At CES, the possibilities are endless. We specialize in creating custom trade show exhibits tailored to your goals— you may be interested in a sleek, tech-forward design, multi-level, interactive product demos, or immersive environments featuring AR, VR, or multi-sensory experiences. CES is the perfect place to showcase cutting-edge ideas, and we’ll ensure your exhibit stands out in this competitive landscape.
Are There Logistics Details It Would Be Helpful to Know?
Absolutely. CES is one of the busiest trade shows in the world, which makes logistics planning crucial. You’ll need to consider drayage costs, advanced warehousing options, transportation schedules, and labor for installation and dismantling (I&D). Working with a partner like NPARALLEL + Atomic Props ensures these details are expertly managed so you can focus on your exhibit and audience.
What Are Common Challenges About Exhibiting at CES?
Common challenges include managing tight timelines, adhering to strict show regulations, and navigating the high cost of exhibiting. The sheer scale of CES means setup and breakdown can be logistically intense, and delays are costly. Our team’s expertise ensures every challenge is addressed—whether it’s coordinating last-minute changes, securing permits, or handling unexpected venue hurdles.
What Other Insider Knowledge Should I Know About Exhibiting?
As CES veterans, we know the details that make all the difference: schedule freight deliveries early, secure union labor for setup, and anticipate long lines for services during peak hours. Additionally, plan for power needs—tech-heavy booths require advanced electrical planning. Lastly, leveraging your space creatively with engaging visuals and interactive touchpoints ensures you stand out in a sea of innovation.
What Would Be Helpful to Know About Exhibiting in Las Vegas?
Las Vegas comes with its own unique dynamics. Be aware of union labor rules for setup and teardown, especially at major venues. Transportation during peak show hours can be challenging, so plan for delays. Take advantage of the city’s 24/7 environment to entertain clients, but ensure your team is well-rested for show days. Finally, shipping and storage in Las Vegas can be expensive—our experience helps you optimize costs while keeping your booth ready for success.
