Creating a multimedia digital presentation for your booth is a snap with the Power2Show media player. The software allows you to import existing photo, video, and audio files from your computer, as well as flash animation and PowerPoint presentations. You can even pull in RSS feeds from live Web sites, and use the program to create a line of text that scrolls across the screen during your presentation. All this allows you to create an in-booth presentation customized to a specific trade show audience that plays on your computer and can be hooked up to a monitor. The software uses simple click-and-drag technology to assemble the presentation and runs on any Windows-equipped computer.

Customization and speed don’t often go hand in hand, but with Nimlok’s Velocity exhibit-display system, exhibitors can have a custom 10-by-10 or 10-by-20-foot booth in their hands five days after final design approval, as opposed to the 20 days typically required for these types of custom displays. Plus, the Velocity components, such as back walls, graphics packages, workstations, lighting, and kiosks, are at least 90-percent recyclable. For exhibits larger than 10-by-20 feet, the product ships 10 days after final approval.

Adding lights to your exhibit is as easy as putting tape on a package with Elation Professional’s FlexLED Tape. The LED-light tape comes in 20-foot spools of white or bright-white light or 10-foot spools in red, green, yellow, or blue lights. The tape features adhesive backing, and the product can be shortened by 2-inch intervals to fit your space without damaging the lights. And if you need a longer strip at a later time, cut segments can be joined with soldering.
