10x10 display booths - Magellan

10x10 display booths - Magellan

Communicate effectively on the trade show floor with the Magellan series of hybrid displays. 

These unique displays offer great sight lines to large format graphics, without any of the bulky hardware found in modular booths.  Sleek in design, the Magellan display booths communicate your message with large format tension graphics. 

These Magellan displays have all the benefits of the boring pop up displays that fill today’s the show hall… easy to set up, take down and portable and are cost effective….BUT they don’t look like your competition…they look unique, are eye catching, and have so many accessories to meet exhibitors unique needs.

Sacagawea Display Booths

 Sacagawea Kubotek

This great looking inline display is from Evo Exhibits Sacagawea line of trade show booths.

The backwall assembly requires no tools as the extrusion tightens with knobs, and the large tension fabric velcro to the backside.  It’s a visually stunning exhibit with the large format fabric graphic becoming the exhibit visual.  With inline exhibits, there is no need to have all the big extrusions, truss and panels which all add to overall costs of shipping, drayage and labor.   Accessories such as shelving, flat screen mounts, literature holders, etc assemble simply with a provide hex tool. 

Exhibiting with a Sacagawea is a smart way to build your brand on the show floor.

The simplicity of set up and clean design lines are big reasons these Sacagawea hybrid displays are popular with exhibitors. 

Kubotek is the leading pioneer in 3D geometry-based engineering software, and is exhibiting at IMTS 2010 at Chicago McCormick Place.
