CMAA's annual conference puts construction and program managers in a room with the public owners who hire them, from transit agencies to airports. Its Expo sells uniform 10×10 booths and sold out in 2026, so every square foot has to work. We build the graphics, counters and lighting that make it count.

What makes CMAA National Conference & Trade Show different, and how we build for it
CMAA2027 is the Construction Management Association of America's flagship event, with a comprehensive exhibit hall, plenary and breakout sessions and the Industry Recognition Awards, where the Project Achievement Awards and Individual Honors are presented. The room is unusual: construction managers from more than 400 firms sit beside owners such as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, MTA New York City Transit, the Port of Long Beach, school districts, airports and state DOTs. Booths are uniform 10×10 packages with a draped table, the Expo opens with a sneak peek reception, and in 2026 the hall sold out before the show.
Project controls, scheduling, document and inspection tools that hold up on a multi-year public program and survive an audit.
Firms and technology they can trust with a capital program, shown through a real project rather than a feature list.
Partners for the CM's team: reality capture, materials testing, claims avoidance and safety services.

How Purple runs CMAA2027 in Dallas/Fort Worth
The back wall, counter and screen mount are produced as a two-case kit in Las Vegas or Fishkill, NY. Freight goes to the decorator's warehouse or the venue named in CMAA's 2027 kit. The Purple project manager files the EAC notice, sets the booth in the Sunday window with the labor the venue allows and strikes on the last day.
Inside CMAA National Conference & Trade Show 2027
CMAA National Conference & Trade Show rules that shape your booth
Exhibits may not obstruct the view of other exhibits or exceed the contracted space, IAEE layout rules are strictly enforced, and endcap booths are not allowed. We keep height at the back wall and the front open.
An Exhibitor Appointed Contractor must notify the decorator at least 10 days before move-in and carry $2 million general liability naming the decorator and CMAA. We file ours with your booth details.
Payment is due within 10 days of the contract, and first-time exhibitors pay in full when they sign. We schedule design once the space is confirmed and paid.
Exhibitors may not call meetings or host events that pull members away during official trade show or conference hours. We plan client dinners outside those hours.
Cash-and-carry sales are not permitted, and materials may not be handed out outside your space without written permission. Lead capture and follow-up stay inside the booth.
Programs worth planning for
CMAA's annual awards for construction and program management projects, presented with Individual Honors at the Industry Recognition Awards during the conference.
A Tuesday morning breakfast held in the Expo at CMAA2026, one of the few times the full conference is on the floor.
Platinum to Bronze levels from $18,000 to $6,750 in 2026, with in-person sponsor demos at the Gold and Platinum levels.
CMAA's annual conference is where construction and program managers meet public owners; choose it over the Construction SuperConference or CFMA when you sell project controls, inspection or consulting to the owner's side of the table. Compare every construction and equipment show we build for →

02 Booths & pricing for CMAA National Conference & Trade Show 2027
CMAA2027 Expo booth and sponsorship costs
CMAA sells only 10×10 booths in 2026, standard or premium, and every package arrives as pipe and drape with a skirted 6-foot table and two chairs. Most exhibitors take one booth; a firm wanting more room buys two side by side for a 10×20 frontage. Purple supplies the back-wall graphic, a counter that replaces the table, lighting and screens that fit CMAA's rules.
Two booths in a row: a project story wall, a demo counter for a scheduling or reality-capture platform and two stools for an owner's rep.

The booth we would build for CMAA National Conference & Trade Show 2027
The owner's program wall in one CMAA booth
Owners and construction managers at CMAA buy confidence in a multi-year program. In one uniform CMAA booth, the play is one real program on the back wall, a counter in place of the draped table and a screen that answers the question an owner's auditor would ask.
Program wall
A back-wall graphic with one owner's program: what was built, schedule and budget outcomes, and a site photo with no clutter.
Counter
A lit counter at the front edge in place of the draped table, holding a laptop and short program summaries.
Dashboard screen
A screen on the back wall running a live-looking schedule, inspection log or reality-capture view from a sample project.
The demo
Walk a construction manager through one change order or inspection from field capture to owner report in under three minutes. Keep it anonymized and specific.
The meetings
Use the Sunday sneak peek reception to set appointments, then meet at the counter during Monday breaks and Tuesday's Breakfast with Exhibitors. Client dinners go outside conference hours, as CMAA's rules require.
Programs delivered. Owners informed.

CMAA National Conference & Trade Show 2027 exhibit rules: the booth package, sightlines, EAC filing and insurance
The CMAA Expo is a carpeted conference hall of uniform pipe-and-drape booths, and the 2027 Dallas/Fort Worth venue is not confirmed yet. CMAA's 2026 booth packages and rules show what a booth may hold and who may install it.
| Rule | What the manual says | What it means for your booth |
|---|---|---|
| 01Booth unit | 2026 package: a 10 ft by 10 ft space with an 8 ft back wall, 3 ft side drape, one 6 ft skirted table and two chairs source | Everything fits one drape bay, so we swap the table for a branded counter and stretch a single fabric graphic across the 8 ft back wall. |
| 02Sightlines and endcaps | Exhibits may not block the view of other exhibits or exceed the contracted space; IAEE layout rules are strictly enforced and endcap booths are not allowed (2026 rules) source | Height belongs on the back drape line; a banner stand or tower at the front edge of the bay would break the sightline rule. |
| 03EAC notice | An exhibitor-appointed contractor notifies the decorator at least 10 days before move-in and carries $2 million general liability and $2 million auto cover (2026 rules) source | We send Purple's EAC notice and certificates well before the 10-day cutoff, so the install starts the moment the hall opens to exhibitors. |
| 04Exhibitor insurance | Exhibitors carry at least $1 million combined single limit general liability through move-in, show and dismantle, naming CMAA as additional insured (2026 rules) source | Your own certificate goes to CMAA in advance; we put the exact wording on the pre-show checklist so it is not left to the last week. |
| 05Staff access | Booth staff enter 30 minutes before opening and may stay up to 30 minutes after closing, wearing the CMAA EXHIBITOR badge (2026 rules) source | Screens and demos have to start inside that half hour, so we wire the booth to power up from one switch each morning. |
| 06Noise and early teardown | CMAA may restrict any exhibit that becomes objectionable through noise, method of operation or early dismantling (2026 rules) source | A floor of construction and program managers rewards captioned screens and headset demos, and dismantle waits for the official close. |
| 07Sales and handouts | No cash-and-carry sales from the floor; nothing handed out beyond your space without CMAA's written permission (2026 rules) source | Lead capture and literature stay inside the bay, so the counter gets a scanner ledge and a shelf for take-away cards. |

Case study · Shapoorji Pallonji
Shapoorji Pallonji at an engineering and infrastructure exhibition
Shapoorji Pallonji's booth communicated scale, trust and engineering excellence for a global engineering and construction group. A firm at CMAA sells the same credibility to public owners, so the 10×10 has to look like a program partner, not a product stand.
Read the Shapoorji Pallonji case study All case studies →“Purple Exhibits made us look good. The booth was one of the nicest displays in our section of the convention center and generated a lot of positive comments from both customers and industry peers. Their attention to detail, professionalism, and willingness to go above and beyond made a huge difference.”

04 Designing for project controls, scheduling, reality capture, inspection and testing, insurance, consulting and technology firms selling to construction and program managers and public owners at CMAA National Conference & Trade Show
Designing a CMAA2027 booth that owners stop at
1Show the program, not the product
Owners at CMAA think in programs: a new terminal, a school bond, a transit extension. We build the back wall around one real program you supported, with schedule, budget and safety outcomes in plain numbers.
2Replace the draped table
The package comes with a 6-foot draped table. We swap it for a lit counter at standing height that holds a laptop and opens the booth to the aisle, so a construction manager can step in without walking around furniture.
3Respect sightlines on a uniform floor
CMAA enforces IAEE layout rules: exhibits must not block the view of neighbors or exceed the contracted space. We keep height at the back wall and leave the front open.
4Ship small, set fast
A one-day Sunday setup and a Tuesday afternoon dismantle in 2026 reward kits that pack into two cases. Our designs set in under two hours and strike in less.
Concept rendering
Every proposal comes with a rendering like this

Where you could be at CMAA National Conference & Trade Show 2027
The 2027 venue is not confirmed yet. This is how the CMAA Expo shaped a booth in 2026, from CMAA's booth packages, schedule and rules.
Expo hall
Uniform 10×10 standard and premium booths with draped tables, sold out in 2026 and assigned first come, first served.
Our advice Premium locations cost $600 more for members in 2026; worth it near the reception and breakfast areas.
Expo Sneak Peek Reception
The Sunday evening opening of the Expo in 2026, right after the Opening Plenary Session.
Our advice Have the booth fully set and staffed for the reception; it is the first and freest hour on the floor.
Networking breaks and Breakfast with Exhibitors
Monday breaks and a Tuesday breakfast held in the Expo in 2026, around the education blocks.
Our advice Staff fully at every break; the hall empties when sessions start.
05 Dallas/Fort Worth, TX
CMAA2027 setup, EAC rules and Dallas/Fort Worth planning
CMAA names Dallas/Fort Worth for October 10–12, 2027, without a venue, so freight, hall rules and labor are not confirmed yet. In 2026 exhibitors set up Sunday 9 a.m.–3 p.m. and dismantled Tuesday noon–3 p.m., and booth staff could enter 30 minutes before opening. An Exhibitor Appointed Contractor must notify the decorator at least 10 days before move-in and carry $2 million in general liability naming CMAA. Texas is a right-to-work state; we confirm venue labor rules once CMAA publishes the 2027 kit.
What Purple handles
- Back-wall graphics and lit counters for CMAA 10×10 booths
- Two-booth 10×20 layouts where you buy adjacent spaces
- Project dashboards and site photo walls for owners
- EAC notice and insurance certificates for CMAA's decorator
- Kits that set on a one-day move-in

What CMAA exhibitors line up before the Expo opens
CMAA2026's Expo Hall sold out; CMAA invited companies to email its director of business development to join the 2027 list, so ask now. source
Booth applications list your top three locations, and choices go first come, first served by the time the form arrives, so send it the day sales open. source
Each booth includes only two Expo Only registrations, not full conference badges, so budget full registrations for anyone who should attend sessions or the awards. source
CMAA's priority point system, in place since 2014, rewards exhibitors and sponsors who return, so a first booth in 2027 builds your position for 2028 in Orlando. source
Booth staff may enter the hall only 30 minutes before opening and stay 30 minutes after closing, and must wear CMAA's EXHIBITOR badge; plan screen checks for that window. source
Who you meet on the floor
CMAA draws CMs from more than 400 firms, from global engineering companies to regional practices, per CMAA.
Transit agencies, ports, school districts, airports, water authorities and state DOTs attend, per CMAA, to meet the firms and tools behind their programs.
CMAA names the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs among the owners at its conference.
CMAA's 33 chapters send leaders to the Chapter Leaders Summit on the opening day, a direct route into regional markets.

CMAA National Conference & Trade Show exhibitor questions
CMAA2027 conference questions exhibitors ask
When is CMAA2027?
October 10–12, 2027, in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, per CMAA's conferences page. CMAA2028 follows October 8–10, 2028, in Orlando, and the spring CMAA Focus27 runs March 14–16, 2027, in Baltimore.
Where is CMAA2027 held?
In the Dallas/Fort Worth area; CMAA has not yet named the venue, so it is not confirmed yet. CMAA2026 met at the Gaylord Rockies in Aurora, Colorado.
How much does a booth at the CMAA conference cost?
$2,900 for a standard 10×10 for CMAA members in 2026 and $3,650 for non-members; premium booths were $3,500 and $4,250. 2027 rates are not confirmed yet, and the build or graphics are extra.
What comes with a CMAA booth?
In 2026: a 10×10 space, a 6-foot draped and skirted table, two chairs, a wastebasket, an ID sign, draped back and side walls, two Expo Only registrations, pre- and post-conference rosters and an app listing.
Is the CMAA Expo sold out?
The CMAA2026 Expo Hall sold out before the show, and CMAA invited companies to join a 2027 list through its director of business development. Booth choices are first come, first served by application date.
Who attends the CMAA conference?
Construction and program managers from more than 400 firms, and owners from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, transit agencies, ports, school districts, airports, water authorities and state DOTs, per CMAA. CMAA says 90% of attendees are decision makers.
What were the CMAA Expo hours in 2026?
Sunday 5–6:30 p.m. for the Expo Sneak Peek Reception, Monday 9:15–11:45 a.m. and 2–5 p.m., and Tuesday 7:45–11:30 a.m. with Breakfast with Exhibitors. 2027 hours are not confirmed yet.
How much does it cost to sponsor CMAA?
CMAA2026 sponsorships were $18,000 Platinum, $14,000 Gold, $9,750 Silver and $6,750 Bronze, each with full registrations and onsite signage, plus a $1,500 digital retargeting add-on. 2027 levels are not confirmed yet.
Is the CMAA Expo worth it for a construction tech startup?
It can be: a 10×10 costs a few thousand dollars and puts you in front of owners and CMs who run large public programs. Arrive with one owner case study and a demo that answers an auditor's question, not a feature tour.
What is the difference between CMAA and the AGC Convention?
CMAA is the owners' and construction managers' meeting, with uniform 10×10 booths. The AGC Convention is the general contractors' annual meeting, with a larger Contractor Solutions Expo of equipment and services.
Can Purple build our CMAA2027 booth?
Yes. We produce the back wall, counter, lighting and screen in Las Vegas or Fishkill, NY, file the EAC notice and insurance with CMAA's decorator, and our project manager handles setup and dismantle in Dallas/Fort Worth.
Before you sign for CMAA National Conference & Trade Show
Five questions to ask any exhibit builder for CMAA National Conference & Trade Show:
- How will your kit replace the 6-foot draped table without breaking CMAA's sightline and footprint rules?
- Will you send the EAC notice to CMAA's decorator 10 days before move-in with $2 million in liability coverage?
- Can the booth set up in the Sunday setup window and strike between noon and 3 p.m. on the last day?
- How will you handle freight before CMAA names the 2027 venue in Dallas/Fort Worth?
- Can the same kit work at CMAA Focus27 in Baltimore or the DBIA conference?
What CMAA National Conference & Trade Show exhibitors ask us
We only get one small booth. Should we spend on it? Spend on presence, not bulk: printed fabric across the back, a glowing counter and one screen cost far less than a custom structure and lift a single uniform booth above its neighbors. The same kit travels to Focus27 and DBIA.
The 2026 hall sold out. How do we get in for 2027? Join CMAA's 2027 list now, send the application with three location choices the day sales open, and consider a sponsorship, which includes registrations and visibility even if the hall fills.
Does the missing 2027 venue hold up our planning? No. CMAA sells the same uniform booth package everywhere, so the design does not depend on the hall. We adapt freight and labor once CMAA publishes the venue.
