But, all the trade shows are like that. No. Not all. I've exhibited at Veterinary trade shows in San Diego, Kansas City, Denver, Louisville, and Baltimore.
In Louisville we carried our entire booth in. In Denver, we carried five large boxes in. At all of them, if you could carry it with one hand (like a small suitcase), you could do it yourself. We generally shipped a 2x3x4 foot box containing everything we needed for our booth. That included floor covering, three chairs, an eight foot table, table covering, etc. We used battery power so as to avoid paying for an electric outlet. If you don't do something like that, you pay $60 per chair, $100+ for floor covering, $100 for a table + $50 to cover it, ... The booths at the shows we were at ran about $1600 for the show.
