DOWNING DISPLAYS: From modest beginnings nearly 50 years ago as inventors of the original portable tabletop display, Downing Displays is now regarded a strong industry leader. Our well-known reputation for excellence ... in materials ... in workmanship ... in delivering superlative exhibit services is something you can absolutely rely upon. Moreover, our creative team delivers tradeshow exhibits with the "WOW!" factor ... for nearly any budget.

Our business is helping you increase your business through trade shows. This means helping you increase your trade show ROI. We can help you find the right shows for your company. We can create one-of-a kind exhibits. We can also empower you with our show services support.  You can spend more time thinking about strategy, not logistics. Want to attract attention? Communicate your message? Enhance your branding? Make new business connections? Downing creates form with function to develop the right answer for you.

MANUFACTURING EXCELLENCE: Our customer loyalty comes from many sources. It starts with our ability to design and build specifically to your needs ... portable or modular. We design and build exhibits that stand the test of time and repeated use. Further, if you can't find the right exhibit within our wide selection of portable or modular displays, we'll customize one for you!

INNOVATIVE TRADE SHOW BOOTHS: We do more than talk innovation. We live it. Downing has developed numerous patented tradeshow displays throughout our history. The cornerstone of our business philosophy is continual invention.

We pay attention to the details ... details you often don't know you need until you're out on the exhibit floor. Details like leveling feet for wiring clearance or a rugged all-metal pop-up display frame. Our design-build excellence also comes from listening to our experienced trade show customers like IBM, Nikon, Cintas, Prudential, Proctor & Gamble and Merrill Lynch. Listening enables us to refine our exhibits like no one else.

TRADE SHOW EXHIBIT MANAGEMENT: Choosing the right exhibit management partner is part of a practical plan for business growth.  Want to invest in only a few sets of hardware but multiple sets of graphics for more messaging capabilities? How about reducing your hassle factor and having your exhibit always ready for action, packed with the right graphics, and shipped out automatically? How about having it already set up on the exhibit floor waiting for you? Repacking? No problem. Not enough exhibits? When Downing is your Exhibit Manager, we can automatically send a replacement rental exhibit so you can meet your show schedule uninterrupted. Our Exhibit Management Services have set the benchmark for making it possible for you to focus on your potential customers not the logistics.

The Downing tradeshow services team manages over 1200 trade shows a year. Your company size doesn't matter to us. We treat every company like it is our only account. With our diverse range of pre-show and post-show services you select support services that increases your productivity and enhances your cost-effectiveness. We understand that your success is our success.

EXHIBIT STORAGE: Want to eliminate the hassle of storing and shipping your exhibit? Storing your exhibit inventory at Downing Displays is the answer. Furthermore, our strategically, central location and high shipping volume discount lets you save on shipping across the U.S. and Canada. You can opt for an automatic check of your exhibit upon its return to ensure there has been no shipping or show damage. Have your exhibit repaired or refurbished by Downing, regardless of its manufacturer, and update or extend the life of your exhibit.

TRADE SHOW SUPPORT SERVICES: From carpet to furniture or audiovisual equipment, receptions, electronic lead processing and more, the experienced Downing Displays staff makes the details happen. We understand the importance of every selection, from the color of tablecloths to how memorable your trade show give-aways are. Downing Displays sets the standards for delivering consistent results that meet or exceed our client's most stringent needs. So, whether you want your booth cleaned daily or catering arranged for your suite, Downing's show services team takes care of the details so you can focus on your potential customers.

TRADE SHOW GRAPHICS: With state-of-the art in-house large-format printing capabilities, Downing Displays offers a sophisticated line-up of graphics for your exhibits. From large photographic imagery to lightweight portable graphic panels, our Graphics Department can create exactly what you need for maximum impact. We also work with advertising agencies to use campaign materials already created but needing adaptation to an exhibit. At Downing, you can own one or more exhibits yet have dozens of graphic panels. This allows you to precisely target your exhibit to each market without needing new exhibit hardware each time.

PORTABLE TRADE SHOW EXHIBITS: Portability means different things to different people. Do you want an exhibit that fits in the back seat of your car? ... Or one than can ship as a piece of luggage on an airplane? Within our site, you choose the level of portability you want. We list the sizes, weights and types of cases and crates for all of our exhibits. Moreover, with Downing Displays, our design-build team can customize any of our many different styles of portable exhibits so it also has the functionality you want. Need your pop-up to have a couple of shelves? How about a storage container? Need to display products without having to hang them individually before every show? Do you need an exhibit that can double as a lobby tower with its message greeting your visitors upon arrival? Or do you need an adjustable exhibit that you can add on to as your business grows? How about a P-O-P (point of purchase) exhibit that can hold products for display at a trade show? Downing Displays is about innovation. When you can't find the right solution, we can create it for you!

TABLETOP DISPLAYS: It doesn't take a big display to create a big impression. Choose from four different types of tabletop exhibits with a variety of headers and structures.

BANNER STANDS: Need attention in an instant? Downing's banner stands are the answer. Pull up the telescoping pole with your eye-catching graphic and you'll have the results you want. Weighing less than 30 pounds, this lightweight, finely engineered workhorse will get you noticed. Where you ask? Carry it along and set it up at meetings, conferences, and retail environments. It will even deliver timely messages in your own lobby. It's one of the smallest, lightest weight, portable exhibits in the world!

POP-UP DISPLAYS: Our easy set-up, all-metal pop-up display has set the standard for pop-ups. It can last for years enabling you to frequently change ad campaigns without purchasing new hardware.

FOLDING FRAME DISPLAYS: This Euro-look exhibit forms varying exhibit shapes.  It is capable of showcasing a variety of products, even heavy-weight ones.  Its unique look masks its ease of set-up. Both the tabletop folding frame and 10' floor display have the fastest exhibit set-up in the market!

FOLDING PANEL DISPLAYS: This is a classic fabric look that offers easy, on-site changing of graphic materials. Our patented 360-degree folding hinge is so durable it's guaranteed for the life of the exhibit.

BACKLIT LIGHTBOX EXHIBITS: One of the hottest trends in exhibitry, Downing's award-winning Reflections exhibits make the kind of impact that gets noticed first. Make your marketing message come alive with this portable backlit exhibit.

MODULAR PANEL TRADESHOW EXHIBITS: Our modular exhibits have the look of permanence yet have lightweight construction allowing them to disassemble easily and ship for significantly less cost.  Combine them with different portable models or multiple systems and you have a new breed exhibit call a hybrid.

CUSTOM TRADE SHOW EXHIBITS: Custom modular trade show exhibits offer unconventional looks that bring new style to exhibit platforms. Using materials like extruded aluminum, tension fabric banners and clear acrylic panels, your exhibit can have impact beyond imagination. Downing Displays can also design a modular exhibit that breaks down into different footprints. We call them "adaptable exhibits." Your largest exhibit space - for instance a 20x20 island exhibit - can be designed to convert into two smaller exhibits, a 10x20 and a 10x10. This reduces the cost of exhibit ownership to you. It also gives you unique flexibility and value for your exhibit dollar.

CUSTOM EXHIBITS: Downing also designs and builds traditional custom exhibits as well as entire corporate showrooms used for product display sales, historical information and cross-selling opportunities.
