These are typical market costs, worked out from published venue and show rates and industry price benchmarks. They are not Purple Exhibits prices. They cover everything it takes to exhibit, and much of the total is paid to the show organizer, its contractors, airlines and hotels: floor space, drayage, union labor, electrical and travel. In a 10×20 custom or hybrid budget, the exhibit itself is about $21.6k – $43.2k. For Purple Exhibits' own price on your booth, ask for a quote.

Dates and travel
- Discount deadlines. Most exhibitor kits close the lower prices for labor, electrical and advance-warehouse freight three to four weeks before move-in. For TISE 2027 that means around January 4, 2027 to January 11, 2027. Your kit has the exact dates.
- Hotel nights. 4 exhibit days plus a day each for move-in and move-out is about 6 nights per person. The estimate budgets $1,500–$3,000 per traveler.
Budgeting for a booth at TISE 2027
TISE (The International Surface Event) combines flooring, stone and tile under one roof at Mandalay Bay. Exhibitors include flooring mills, stone suppliers and installation equipment makers, and visitors are retailers, distributors, contractors and installers.
- Flooring rolls, stone slabs and sample racks are heavy, so drayage weighs on the budget. Consolidate crates to hit the minimum once.
- Installed floor sections need labor time to lay and remove. Budget dismantle hours, not just setup.
- Mandalay Bay has its own work rules. Check what your staff can install themselves before ordering labor.
