standing sign from Vista System, sets up in minutes and only requires a screwdriver for installation. Positioned on the floor or a table, the roughly 3-foot-tall metal stand holds a frame that accommodates a letter-sized graphic, which can be switched out in moments. The curved black sign offers a sleek and contemporary look.

Manufactured by Lake Forest, CA-based EcoTek
Lighting, the Indoor Light Box with Direct LED
Backlighting offers an environmentally friendly and
energy- and cost-efficient solution to light up your graphics. By incorporating LED lights into the design,
the light box boasts a shallower depth, 2 inches compared to 3.5 and 5 inches on other brands. The difference in size means slightly lower shipping costs. The LEDs create a bright, evenly distributed light; plus, they have a lifespan of roughly 10 years, versus two years for fluorescent bulbs. The light box meets standards for energy efficiency and Green manufacturing, including LEED guidelines.

 Treat attendees to a shoeshine as they watch your video presentation with Diazit Co. Inc.’s 32-inch HD LCD Display Shoe Shiner Combo. The LCD monitor can be rotated to portrait format, making the unit 67.5 inches tall or to landscape mode, which stands 64.5 inches tall. Below the monitor, a slot machine-style handle lets attendees start the shoeshine brushes spinning. Attendees can push their feet up against roller-ball applicator between the brushes to apply polish, and then place their shoe-clad feet under the brushes for a shine. They get a free shoeshine, and you get a captive audience for your presentation.

Want to create an illusion of wide-open spaces in your booth? Try The Sky Factory LC’s EcoSlim Luminous SkyCeiling, a thin-profile, edge-lit LED lighting system that fits flush into most standard wood- or aluminum-framed exhibit ceilings. Exhibitors can select one of several images of a sky, which is then integrated into the 3.5-inch-deep lighting unit to give the illusion of a skylight in your booth. The offered images include cloud patterns, tropical skies with palm trees, and a starry night sky. A single unit measures 2-by-2 feet, and multiple units can be combined to produce a larger overall image.
