Don't Let Them Steal the Show
Unfortunately, theft and vandalism are not uncommon occurrences at trade shows. But there are security precautions you can take to reduce your risk, such as:
  • Keep small, theft-prone products in locked showcases. Attach large and valuable items to immovable objects using security cable.

  • Cover products before and after show hours. Use Velcro to secure the fabric over the products and keep them out of immediate eyesight.

  • Display susceptible items inside the booth rather than on the aisles, where they are easy prey for thieves.

  • Keep doors in your exhibit locked.

  • Hire security cameras for after-show hours.

  • Make sure there are sufficient personnel in the booth to act as lookouts. The more eyes, the better.

  • Keep an inventory of products displayed in the booth. Check it every day. This will tell you what is missing and when it was last accounted for.
