Lock the upstream schedule
List milestones: design approval, production, transport, build, team brief. Each milestone has an owner and deadline.
Anticipate show constraints (access, hours, power rules). Those external constraints are not negotiated on opening day.
Prepare content and sales tools
Slides, films, sheets, QR, lead forms and useful giveaways must be ready and tested. Missing content shows immediately on the booth.
Align the short message (10–20 seconds) and the deeper message. The whole team must tell the same story.
- Digital assets tested
- Printed sheets and stock
- Lead capture process
- Shared short pitch
Organize logistics and build
Confirm transport, access window, tools, consumables and power plan. Missing extensions or adapters can block an opening.
Appoint a build lead with decision authority. Back-and-forth slows everything.
Brief the booth team
Explain goals, personas, frequent objections and qualification criteria. Without a brief, the booth becomes a passive presence.
Define rotations, breaks and responsibilities (welcome, demo, closing). Day-one fatigue is managed by organization.
Day-before checklist and opening
Final cleaning, technical tests, stock check, positioning of attraction elements, and a welcome simulation for first visitors.
On opening morning, quickly recheck sound/screens/docs before the public arrives.
Adjust live during the show
Watch what truly attracts and adapt pitch, light layout and activation. Preparation continues after opening.
Each evening, review leads and improvement points for the next day.
- Upstream schedule locked
- Content and stock ready
- Team briefed
- Day-before checklist done
