What makes CSI Americas different, and how we build for it
CSI Americas is the one floor where the whole cruise interiors supply chain meets in person: newbuild and refit teams from Carnival Cruise Line, Royal Caribbean, Virgin Voyages and MSC Cruises walk the aisles beside the design studios, outfitters and interior suppliers who specify and deliver the work. The Cruise Ship Interiors Awards, the Lunch & Learns and the Future Leaders program pull decision makers out of the conference and onto the floor, and the co-located Hotel & Resort Design South brings hotel and resort designers into the same building. Two show days, an Opening Party and a compact hall mean every booth gets seen, so the booth that shows a finished cabin corner, not a catalog, gets the meeting.
A finished application at real scale, a cabin corner, a lounge seating group or a corridor wall, with IMO and SOLAS certificates and weight data one step from the sample.
A table where finishes, fabrics and lighting can be laid out together under honest light, and staff who can pull the next sample without leaving the conversation.
Lead times, installation details, mounting methods and a quiet meeting position to talk volume, refit windows and delivery to the yard.
Your team in Miami Beach
Two shops, one project manager, every hall
We build in our own production shop in Fishkill, NY and our Las Vegas hub, ship to the Miami Beach Convention Center, and install with our own project manager on the floor and vetted local labor. Predictable 30–45-day turnarounds, secure storage and pre-show QA.
Your team lands to a lit, stocked booth. You just show up.
02 Booths & pricing for CSI Americas 2027
Pick a footprint. We price it as a rental, a custom build, or a hybrid.
CSI Americas is a two-day show in a compact hall, so 10×10 and 10×20 inlines make up most of the floor and a 20×20 island reads as a major supplier. Purple clients at interiors shows usually choose a 10×20 with one built vignette and a sample library, or a 20×20 island with a walk-in cabin mockup and meeting table.
One hero finish or furniture piece installed the way it goes on a ship, a labeled sample rail and a stool for a sit-down with a designer.

04 Designing for cruise and hospitality interiors suppliers at CSI Americas
Four things we get right for CSI Americas exhibitors
1Build the application, not the catalog
A cruise designer needs to see the finish next to its neighbors: carpet against bulkhead panel, fabric against light. We build one focused vignette at real scale, a cabin corner or a lounge bay, and keep the supporting samples close so comparison happens inside the booth.
2Keep the sample and the spec connected
We number every swatch and panel to match your product sheets before graphics print, so what a designer likes on the table can be recorded accurately. Certificates, weights and maintenance data sit on a shelf at the meeting surface, not in a bag under the counter.
Light the finishes the way a ship does
Cabin lighting is warm and low, public areas are brighter and cooler. We test your real fabrics, laminates and veneers under the proposed fixtures, keep colored spill light off the material and give textured surfaces the raking light that shows their depth.
Engineer the heavy pieces and the edges
Furniture, marine flooring and wall systems arrive with weights, mounting methods and exposed edges we protect in transit. We plan the install order for mockup elements, size the supports from your dimensions, and design viewing positions around the actual footprint of each piece.
Concept rendering
Every proposal comes with a rendering like this
You see the booth in 3D before we cut a single panel: layout, graphics, lighting and product positions, revised until it is right. Shown: a Purple concept for Tier I.

Logistics for CSI Americas 2027, handled
The Miami Beach Convention Center is a right-to-work building: your full-time staff can set up with hand tools within show limits, and Purple supplies the rest of the labor under your name. Rigging, electrical, internet and cleaning are exclusive to the center's providers, so we order them early against the show kit. Trucks reach the west docks off Convention Center Drive over the MacArthur, Venetian or Julia Tuttle causeways; marshalling is off-island, so we hit the target time. Covered and multilevel builds go through Miami Beach Fire Prevention, and we prepare that package. June is hurricane season, so we ship to the advance warehouse with margin and keep a storm plan for freight in transit. Crews stay on Washington Avenue.
Hall rules, drayage estimates and freight deadlines for this building are in our Miami Beach Convention Center exhibitor guide.

- Miami Beach Fire Prevention package for covered or multilevel builds

CSI Americas exhibitor questions
Questions exhibitors ask us before CSI Americas
How much does a 20×20 at CSI Americas cost?
A 20×20 custom island with a walk-in cabin mockup lands between $50,000 and $120,000 all in for design, structure, graphics and installation; a 20×20 rental island runs $16,000 to $40,000. Real furniture, marine flooring and lighting move the number, so send us dimensions and weights and we return a fixed quote.
Can you install at the Miami Beach Convention Center?
Yes. Florida is right-to-work, so your own staff may help with hand tools, and Purple books the rest of the labor, files as your contractor, orders the venue-exclusive rigging and electrical, and has our own project manager on the floor from move-in through the last truck out.
Can we rent a booth for CSI Americas?
Yes. A 10×10 rental with your graphics starts around $3,500 and a 10×20 rental runs $7,500 to $15,000. Most first-time CSI Americas exhibitors rent the structure and spend the difference on one built vignette and a proper sample library, then upgrade after the show.
When do we need to decide?
Design sign-off by mid-April 2027 gives a comfortable 30–45-day build and an early June ship date to the Miami advance warehouse. Later is possible into May; the trade-off is choice of finishes and furniture lead times, and freight costs more the closer we get to hurricane season.
Do you handle the show contractor orders and drayage?
Yes. We read the exhibitor kit, order material handling, electrical and rigging, and book your target time at the west docks. Miami Beach drayage plans at roughly $170 per hundredweight with the standard minimum, so we pack dense, label every crate and route empties back through the MHA.
Before you sign with anyone
Five questions to ask any exhibit builder for CSI Americas:
- Is every fee on the proposal, including what the show contractor bills?
- Who builds the booth: your own shop or a subcontractor?
- Will your project manager be on the floor for install and dismantle?
- What exactly is in the rental, and what is billed by the show?
- Where does the booth go after the show, and what does storage cost?
Common situations
Already own a booth? We refresh the graphics, repair what is worn, ship it, install it and store it between shows. You keep the structure you paid for.
Exhibiting from outside the US? We are your team on the ground: freight to the advance warehouse, show-service orders, installation and storage, with one project manager answering your emails in your time zone.
Short on time? A rental with your graphics can be ready in two to three weeks. We tell you on the first call what is realistic for your date.
