The technology may be complex.
At SATShow, your booth is not decoration. It is a working environment where complex systems become understandable, live technology becomes credible and high-value conversations become possible.
Purple Exhibits provides complete SATShow exhibit booth design, custom fabrication, booth rentals, graphics, AV technology, shipping, installation, dismantling and show-floor support in Washington, D.C. — so your team can focus on demonstrating technology, building partnerships and moving business forward.
One Global Pet Expo Exhibit Builder. Every Detail Covered.
A successful Global Pet Expo exhibit requires much more than a rendering and a few walls. Pet industry booths may include retail-style product displays, sample stations, tasting or demonstration areas, shelving, refrigeration, digital media, secure storage, meeting spaces, interactive technology and hundreds of individual products or SKUs.
Every product needs the right presentation. Every service needs to arrive on time. Every installation detail needs to be coordinated correctly.
As your full-service Global Pet Expo exhibit booth builder, Purple Exhibits can manage the complete project under one roof:
One team. One plan. One point of responsibility.
That means fewer vendors, fewer surprises and a Global Pet Expo booth that is ready when the show floor opens.
Turning complex technology into a clear exhibit story.
Technical companies don’t need a decorator who just makes the booth look attractive — they need a partner who can understand a complicated product and build an environment where that story is easy to experience.

Complex offshore-engineering capabilities became a clear, visitor-friendly exhibit, centered on a detailed scale model of an offshore production vessel, a large LED wall and a glass-enclosed private meeting room.

Custom SATShow Booth Design
Every project begins with your company, your technology, your audience and the business you want to generate. Our designers create the exhibit around the experience you want visitors to have—not around a recycled booth template.
We plan the architecture, sightlines, entrances, demonstration zones, presentation areas, meeting spaces, storage and visitor flow so the booth works as strongly as it looks.
Whether you need a focused 10×10 exhibit, an open 20×20 island or a large environment with multiple product and meeting zones, the design is built around your objectives.
SATShow Booth Rentals and Hybrid Exhibits
Not every exhibitor needs to purchase a completely custom structure.
Purple Exhibits offers customized SATShow booth rentals and hybrid exhibits that combine flexible modular systems with custom graphics, dimensional branding, technical displays, lighting, counters and architectural features.
Explore our turnkey trade show exhibit solutions.
This approach can provide a premium, brand-specific appearance while improving flexibility, storage requirements and long-term value.
Your completed booth should never feel like a collection of rental pieces. It should feel like your company owns the space.
Exhibit Graphics, Lighting and Signage
The right message helps technical buyers understand your value before they enter the booth.
Purple Exhibits can provide SEG fabric graphics, LED lightboxes, dimensional logos, illuminated signage, overhead branding, vinyl graphics, accent lighting and large-format displays. Graphics should create a clear hierarchy: who you are, what problem you solve and why the visitor should speak with your team.
Strategic lighting then adds depth, highlights technology and gives the entire space a more polished, credible appearance.
Trade Show AV and Interactive Technology
Complex technology becomes easier to understand when visitors can see it working.
Purple Exhibits can coordinate monitors, touchscreens, LED video walls, media players, presentation equipment, audio systems, interactive displays, kiosks and on-site technical support as part of the complete booth program.
We plan screen placement, viewing distance, content format, cable management, power and internet needs early so the technology supports the conversation instead of becoming a show-site problem.
Trade Show Logistics and Shipping
A beautiful booth has no value if the structure, graphics, products or equipment do not arrive safely and on time.
Purple Exhibits coordinates trade show logistics and shipping, including packing, freight, advance-warehouse or direct-to-show delivery, material-handling documentation and outbound shipping.
For international exhibitors, we can work with your freight and customs providers to coordinate the U.S. show-site delivery plan.
We organize the information, deadlines and labels needed to keep every shipment moving toward the correct destination.
Installation, Dismantling and On-Site Supervision
Our installation team assembles the structure, places graphics, integrates equipment, installs AV and completes the final show-floor inspection at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center.
An experienced supervisor can remain involved during setup to coordinate labor, solve issues and verify that the finished exhibit matches the approved plan.
When SATShow closes, we manage dismantling, repacking and outbound logistics.
You stay focused on the people you came to meet. We stay focused on everything required to make the booth work.

SATShow Booth Installation and Show Services in Washington, D.C.
Building for SATShow means planning for the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, the show’s official service process and the practical realities of a major Washington, D.C. exhibition.
Purple can coordinate your exhibitor-appointed contractor documentation, insurance requirements, installation and dismantling labor, freight delivery, material handling, electrical service, internet, AV, rigging and outbound shipping as part of one exhibit program.
The most recently published SATShow exhibitor rules required floor covering and restricted certain do-it-yourself installation work, power-tool use and freight handling.
Our SATShow Exhibit Design and Build Process
Discovery and Strategy
We begin by understanding your company, technology, audience, booth size, budget, meeting requirements and business objectives. We also identify the equipment, demonstrations, AV, storage, staffing and utilities required for the show.
Creative Concept
Our designers develop the architecture, traffic flow, demonstration zones, meeting spaces and visual identity. The goal is to capture attention while supporting the work your team needs to accomplish on the show floor.
Product Display and Demonstration Planning
We confirm the dimensions, weight, power, connectivity, ventilation, security and access requirements of the equipment being displayed. Technical products and demonstrations are coordinated with the booth design before production begins.
Design Development and Engineering
After the concept is approved, we refine materials, dimensions, graphics, lighting, technology, utilities and structural details. Production drawings align the visible design with the practical requirements of fabrication and installation.
Fabrication and Pre-Show Quality Control
The structure, graphics, signage and custom components move into production. Critical elements are inspected, fitted or tested before packing to reduce show-site surprises.
Show Services and Logistics
Our team coordinates freight, venue requirements, labor, material handling and required show services. We track important deadlines so insurance documents, approvals, utility orders and contractor forms are not left until the last minute.
Installation and Final Inspection
The booth is installed at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, technology and products are integrated, and the completed exhibit is checked before your team arrives.
Dismantling, Storage and Reuse
After SATShow, we manage dismantling, repacking and outbound shipping. Reusable components can be stored, refurbished or adapted for future satellite, aerospace, defense and technology events.

When Should You Start Planning Your SATShow Exhibit?
Large, technically complex or meeting-heavy SATShow exhibits should begin planning as early as possible.
Early planning provides more time for creative development, technical coordination, engineering, approvals, fabrication and lower-cost show-service ordering.
Starting late does not always make a project impossible, but it reduces options and increases the risk of rush charges, incomplete equipment integration and avoidable show-site problems.
10–12 Months Before SATShow
Define your objectives, budget, booth size, target audience, technology and overall requirements.
8–10 Months Before SATShow
Select your SATShow exhibit booth builder and begin the creative process.
6–8 Months Before SATShow
Approve the concept and confirm equipment, demonstrations, meeting rooms, AV, storage and hospitality requirements.
4–6 Months Before SATShow
Finalize engineering, graphics, lighting, utilities, internet, technology and show services.
2–4 Months Before SATShow
Complete production, promotional products, booth staffing, freight and installation planning.
30–60 Days Before SATShow
Confirm shipping, labor, utilities, insurance, exhibitor-appointed contractor requirements, equipment inventory, presentation media and final show-floor details.

How Much Does a SATShow Exhibit Booth Cost?
The cost of a SATShow booth depends on its size, construction method, materials, rental or ownership model, technical equipment, AV, meeting requirements, freight, material handling and installation.
The official SATShow website currently lists 2027 exhibit space at $64 per square foot.
Examples based on that published rate are shown below.
These figures cover exhibit space—not the booth build or related services.
Why Choose Purple Exhibits as Your SATShow Exhibit Booth Builder?
One Dedicated Project Lead
You have one primary contact coordinating the moving parts, answering questions and keeping the project aligned.
In-House Design and Fabrication

Turnkey Project Management
We can manage design, fabrication, rentals, graphics, freight, installation, dismantling, storage, show-service coordination and on-site support.
Technical Product-Driven Design
We design around the equipment, demonstrations and solutions you need to present—not simply around the booth’s exterior appearance.
Washington, D.C. and Nationwide Support
Purple Exhibits provides trade show booth design, rentals and complete exhibit support in Washington, D.C., including projects at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center. Our nationwide capabilities also allow us to coordinate your SATShow exhibit and the rest of your annual show schedule.
More Than the Visible Booth
What attendees see is only the final layer. Behind it are production schedules, approvals, freight, labor, material handling, electrical orders, internet requirements, rigging, insurance documents and hundreds of small decisions. Purple manages those details as one coordinated exhibit program so your marketing and sales teams are not forced to become show-service experts.
Flexible Custom, Rental and Hybrid Options
Your booth strategy should fit your objectives, budget and reuse plans. We can combine custom fabrication with flexible rental systems to create the right balance of impact and value.
Pre-Show Quality Control
Critical booth elements are reviewed before shipping to reduce show-site surprises.
On-Site Support When It Matters Most
An experienced team can supervise installation, coordinate final details and help solve show-floor issues before the exhibit opens. When show day arrives, your structure should be complete, your graphics should be straight, your screens should be working, your equipment should be ready and your team should be focused on meetings. That is what JUST SHOW UP means.
Frequently Asked Questions
When and where is SATShow 2027?
SATShow Week 2027 takes place March 8–11, 2027, at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C.
The conference runs March 8–11, while the exhibition is scheduled for March 9–11.
Is SATShow the same as SATELLITE?
SATShow Week is the broader event experience.
It is anchored by SATELLITE, the flagship commercial satellite and space event, and GovMilSpace, a dedicated program for government and military stakeholders.
The programs run together and share the exhibit hall.
Exhibitors may also search for the event using terms such as Satellite Show, SATELLITE Conference and Exhibition or Satellite Expo, but SATShow Week is the current official event brand.
What does a SATShow exhibit booth builder do?
A SATShow exhibit booth builder designs, produces and coordinates the physical exhibit.
A full-service builder may also manage graphics, technical displays, AV, shipping, material handling, installation, dismantling and show-service coordination.

Yes.
Purple Exhibits provides custom booth design, fabrication, rental and hybrid exhibit solutions for SATShow exhibitors in Washington, D.C.

Yes.

Can Purple integrate technical products and live demonstrations?
Yes.
Antennas, terminals, network hardware, RF equipment, models, prototypes, software demonstrations and other technical products can be planned into the booth design.
We confirm dimensions, weight, power, connectivity, cable routing, access and presentation requirements before production.
Can Purple provide monitors, touchscreens and LED video walls?
Can Purple build private meeting rooms into a SATShow booth?
Yes.
Depending on booth size and show regulations, the exhibit can include open seating, semi-private lounges or enclosed conference rooms for technical and commercial conversations.
When should I hire a SATShow exhibit booth builder?
Large custom projects should ideally begin eight to twelve months before the show.
Smaller rental or modular projects may require less time, but early planning creates more design options and reduces rush expenses.
Can Purple manage shipping and installation in Washington, D.C.?
Yes.
Purple can coordinate packing, freight, advance-warehouse or direct-to-show delivery, material handling, installation, dismantling and outbound shipping as part of a turnkey exhibit program.
Can Purple support international SATShow exhibitors?
Yes.
Purple can design and produce the U.S. exhibit, coordinate show-site requirements and work with the exhibitor’s chosen freight and customs providers.
International shipping and temporary-import requirements should be planned early.
Can I hang a sign above my SATShow booth?
Overhead signs and rigging may be possible for qualifying spaces, but the design, height, location, weight and installation must follow current SATShow and venue rules.
Purple can plan the hanging sign and coordinate required submissions and rigging services after official requirements are confirmed.
How much does a SATShow booth cost?
SATShow currently lists 2027 exhibit space at $64 per square foot, so a 10×10 space is $6,400 and a 20×20 space is $25,600 before the booth build and show services.
Design, construction, technical displays, meeting rooms, graphics, AV, freight and labor are separate variables.
Purple prepares a project-specific proposal so you can see what is included and make an informed decision.
For broader budgeting guidance, read our 2026–2027 trade show booth cost guide.
Does Purple’s booth proposal include the SATShow exhibit-space fee?
The exhibit-space fee is normally contracted directly with SATShow and is separate from Purple’s booth proposal.
We clearly identify the design, structure, graphics, AV, logistics, labor and other services included in our scope so you can evaluate the complete investment.
What should a SATShow booth proposal include?
A useful proposal should clearly identify the design, exhibit structure, graphics, flooring, lighting, furniture, AV, freight, installation, dismantling and project-management services included in the price.
It should also identify show-organizer or venue charges—such as material handling, electrical service, internet and rigging—that are excluded, estimated or paid directly.
The objective is not to make every proposal identical. It is to make the full scope understandable before production begins.
