McKing staff members have provided exhibit services for our clients throughout the world-at conferences and meetings, special events, and other occasions. These exhibits range from simple tabletops to multiple booths with computers, real-time Internet connections, and video displays. Our staff members are experienced in both exhibit design and trade show and exhibition management for events ranging from a few dozen to several hundred exhibitors.

We understand that there may be hundreds of exhibits at a conference, all competing for the attention of thousands of attendees. We help plan the exhibit and consider how to maximize its visibility and the effectiveness of its message. We develop options for giveaway items that may attract interest, unusual visual and lighting effects, and related events, such as receptions, that may increase the number of attendees reached at the conference. One of our most important services is flexibility. We work very closely with our clients to provide products that meet their standards.

McKing's exhibit design services include conceptualization, graphic design, and production. We design exhibits that range from simple tabletop displays used primarily for distribution of materials to freestanding, fully interactive information centers. Our clients often have more than one exhibit and use the exhibit that is most appropriate for a specific meeting. We believe that creating simple yet sophisticated displays ensures that the exhibit serves an informational function and provides an appropriate public image for our clients. All exhibits are created from the highest quality materials that are attractive and durable. Also, we design displays that can be easily updated or tailored for a specific purpose.

McKing has a climate-controlled area for storing and maintaining exhibits. We also ship exhibits and perform a quality control review each time they return. Any necessary maintenance is then performed.

Our staff members also work with the client to determine which exhibit materials would be most useful to attendees, what quantities to send, and how best to send them. Our clients often ask us to assist them with the production of their materials. Our highly rated publications group is available to design and produce materials. We can also provide staff members or subject matter experts to accompany and staff exhibits.
