Skids, cleanroom kit and CDMO meetings: INTERPHEX 2027 booths in New York
We build INTERPHEX booths where a process engineer can walk around a skid or a single-use assembly and then sit down with the drawings. At the Javits Center we file Freeman machinery handling and spotting for the equipment, and our project manager supervises the union carpenters who build the booth.
- Apr 13–15 · Javits Center
- 600+ exhibitors in 2026
- Islands to 20 ft
What makes INTERPHEX different, and how we build for it
INTERPHEX, run by RX at the Javits Center, is the pharma and biotech manufacturing show, and its floor is built for engineers who want to see equipment.The Contract & Outsourcing Exchange (COEX) debuted in 2026 as a district for contract manufacturers and hosted nearly 300 meetings in the 1:1 Partnering Program. Exhibitor Awards cover six categories, from Best in Show to the Biotech Innovation Award, and the Learning Lab ran sessions on all three show days in 2026. The cubic content rule lets you build right to the aisle edge, so a skid or a filling line can stand at the front of the booth, and islands of 400 square feet or more rise to 20 feet.
A clear view of the equipment envelope, operator position and service access, plus room to point, compare and ask without blocking the aisle.
An honest workflow story with materials, connections and documentation they can examine, and a technical table with drawings away from the live demo.
Capability proof, selected case examples and a seated meeting position where a project or supply requirement can be discussed in private.
Your team in New York
Two shops behind your INTERPHEX booth
We build in our own production shop in Fishkill, NY, and our Las Vegas hub, ship to the Javits Center, and install with our own project manager on the floor and vetted local labor. Expect a 30–45-day build for INTERPHEX, secure storage and a pre-show QA.
The booth is lit and stocked when your team reaches the Javits Center. You just show up.
Inside INTERPHEX 2027
INTERPHEX rules that shape your booth
INTERPHEX follows the cubic content rule: you may build to the front of the booth, peninsulas and islands must be 400 square feet or more, islands rise to 20 feet, and nothing goes above the limits, signs included, with no variances (2026 rules). We design to your booth type's ceiling.
Back walls of inline and peninsula booths must be fully finished, see-through back walls are not allowed, and no graphics may face a neighbor; unfinished walls get draped at your expense after 5 p.m. move-in day (2026 rules). We finish every exposed side.
Demonstration areas must sit within the exhibit space, and crowds may not block aisles or neighbors, so exhibitors must contract enough space for the demo (2026 rules). We set the skid a few feet inside the booth line so watchers stand on your carpet.
In 2026 every exhibit had to be completely set by 5 p.m. on the Monday before opening, no shipment was accepted after that, and nothing could come onto the floor during show hours. We schedule install to finish with a margin and ship through the advance warehouse, whose freight reaches the floor first.
Programs worth planning for
A dedicated area for contract manufacturing and outsourcing companies, launched in 2026, where the 1:1 Partnering Program held nearly 300 meetings.
Pre-scheduled one-on-one meetings between COEX exhibitors and registered INTERPHEX attendees on the Brella platform, with concierge support for COEX exhibitors; open to pharma, biotech, investors and contract manufacturers.
Six categories, Best in Show, Best New Product/Service, Editor's Choice, Best Technologies Innovation, INTERPHEX Efficiency Champion and Biotech Innovation Award, open to every exhibitor; 2027 entry dates are not confirmed yet.
On-floor education sponsored by ACIC Equipment that ran all three show days in 2026, covering contract outsourcing, future trends and process excellence, with 30+ hours of expert-led sessions.
INTERPHEX is the U.S. pharma and biotech manufacturing equipment show, with 600+ exhibitors in 2026; choose it over CPHI Americas when you sell process equipment, single-use systems or fill-finish rather than ingredients and APIs. Every pharma and biotech show we build for, side by side →

02 Booths & pricing for INTERPHEX 2027
Popular booth sizes at INTERPHEX
INTERPHEX floors mix inline component suppliers with peninsulas and islands from equipment makers and CDMOs; a peninsula or island needs at least 400 square feet. We recommend a 10×20 for a single-use assembly or one module, and a 20×20 island or larger once a skid needs walk-around access and a meeting table.
An exposed process module or single-use assembly with operator clearance on one side, a technical counter with drawings and a small seated area, all inside the inline height limit RX publishes.
See 10×20 rental booths →
The process module takes the middle bay with operator clearance, a lit single-use assembly or component wall holds one end, and the far bay seats a project talk over drawings and sample components.

Booths to look at before you plan INTERPHEX
Case study · SpecialtyRx
SpecialtyRx at a healthcare trade show
Built for visibility across the whole floor: a custom island with elevated circular branding and LED tiles that stayed busy from open to close.
SpecialtyRx needed an island that drew pharma buyers from across the hall all day; an INTERPHEX island with a skid needs the same sightline from every aisle under the 20-foot limit.
Read the SpecialtyRx case study All case studies →“We were very happy with the experience and with the support provided throughout the project. The booth looked great, the coordination process was smooth, and everything was handled professionally, which made the event much easier for our team.”

04 Designing for pharma and bioprocessing equipment, single-use and contract manufacturing brands at INTERPHEX
Four things we get right for INTERPHEX exhibitors
1Decide what actually runs
A live cycle earns its freight only when visitors can watch a transformation. We compare an operating machine, a cutaway assembly and an animation against what the engineer must understand, then price each option with utilities, operator time, test materials, clean-up and return freight, and build the one that wins.
2Build the route around the equipment
Send us machine dimensions, weights, electrical loads, connections and operator clearances before we draw a wall. We plan the visitor route around the equipment envelope and service access, put the operator beside the key component rather than in front of it, and keep the utility side reachable without moving a counter.
3Show the process, not just the part
One machine or single-use assembly has to explain a whole workflow. We add a short upstream-to-downstream diagram that locates your stage in the production line, light the component that carries your advantage, and set a technical table with drawings and sample components away from the active demo for deeper questions.
4Give CDMOs a meeting-led layout
A contract manufacturer should not borrow a machinery supplier's floor plan. We lead with capability graphics and selected proof points, separate the greeting position from scheduled meetings so a new visitor can ask a question without interrupting one underway, and seat project discussions where drawings can be spread out.
Concept rendering
Every INTERPHEX proposal includes a rendering like this
You see your INTERPHEX booth in 3D before we cut a single panel: layout, graphics, lighting and product positions, revised until it is right. Above: a Purple concept for Olon.

Where you could be at INTERPHEX 2027
The Javits stacks its exhibit halls on two levels, and RX has not yet placed INTERPHEX 2027 in a hall. These are the spaces this building uses and what each means for heavy equipment.
Level 3 exhibition halls (3A, 3B, 3D, 3E)
About 500,000 square feet of contiguous exhibit space under the space frame, with a 90-foot column grid and rigging points at fixed nodes.
Our advice Hanging signs follow the rigging point map, so we place your sign once the booth number and the nearest nodes are known.
Level 1 exhibition halls (1A to 1E)
Around 250,000 square feet on the ground level, with ceilings lower than Level 3 and docks opening straight onto the halls.
Our advice A skid reaches Level 1 faster during targeted move-in, but a 20-foot island structure may not fit; we check the ceiling first.
Truck marshaling facility
Carriers check in at the four-level in-building facility and wait for a dock call; no truck goes to a dock without one.
Our advice We book carriers to Freeman's target windows and label every crate with hall, booth number and show name.
05 Javits Center · New York
Logistics for INTERPHEX 2027, handled
The Javits is a union building: Teamsters move everything from the dock to your booth and spot machinery, Carpenters build anything over 250 square feet, Electricians connect your equipment power and Riggers hang signs from the space frame. Trucks report to the in-building marshaling facility and hold for a dock call. INTERPHEX is a targeted show, and in 2026 Freeman charged $2.25 a pound for material handling and $1.41 a pound for machinery up to 10,000 pounds, so we build light in aluminum and file the skid as machinery. Booths had to be complete by 5 p.m. the day before opening. Our project manager supervises the carpenter crew from move-in to dismantle.
INTERPHEX exhibitors can find this building's hall rules, drayage estimates and freight deadlines in our Javits Center exhibitor guide.

INTERPHEX exhibitor questions
Questions exhibitors ask us before INTERPHEX
How much does a booth at INTERPHEX 2027 cost?
For a skid on a 20×20 island, plan $50,000 to $120,000 custom or $16,000 to $40,000 as a rental; a 10×20 rental around one single-use assembly runs $7,500 to $15,000. Machinery handling moves the total here: in 2026 Freeman billed $1.41 a pound for machinery up to 10,000 pounds, so a heavy skid gets its own proposal line.
Can you install a process skid at the Javits Center?
We plan the skid into the Javits sequence: crate sizes, the route from the marshaling facility to your booth, Teamster spotting, floor protection and the order in which walls close around the machine. Freight sent to Freeman's advance warehouse reaches the floor first, so heavy equipment goes that way when its size allows.
Can we rent a booth for INTERPHEX, and what does a rental include?
A Purple rental for INTERPHEX covers frames, fabric graphics, lighting and a technical counter, and we add custom pieces where the product needs them: an equipment plinth or a closed meeting room. Freight, union install and dismantle are priced on the same fixed proposal, and the rental goes back to our Fishkill shop after the show.
How tall can our INTERPHEX booth be?
Islands of 400 square feet or more may reach 20 feet under the 2026 INTERPHEX rules, and peninsulas must also be at least 400 square feet. RX applies the cubic content rule, so you can build right up to the aisle edge, but nothing goes above the limit for your booth type, signs, truss and lighting included, and no variances are granted before or during the show.
What does material handling cost at INTERPHEX?
In 2026 Freeman charged $2.25 a pound for material handling, with shipments of 10 pounds or less free, and machinery from $1.41 a pound for the first 10,000 pounds down to $1.11 above 30,000. Heavier booths cost more on this floor than almost anywhere, so we build in aluminum and ship one consolidated load.
Can we reuse our INTERPHEX booth at other shows?
We build INTERPHEX booths in modules so the plinths and capability walls travel to CPHI Americas, the PDA Annual Meeting or BioProcess International with new graphics. After New York the kit returns to storage at our shop in Fishkill, an easy drive up the Hudson, ready for the next Javits edition.
Do you handle Freeman orders and the EAC paperwork for INTERPHEX?
We file the exhibitor-appointed contractor forms and insurance certificates, place Freeman orders for labor, rigging and machinery spotting before the advance discount date, and order utilities from the Javits, where early orders saved up to 30 percent in 2026. You get one schedule with every deadline.
How do we win an INTERPHEX Exhibitor Award?
Every exhibitor may enter, including self-nominations and agency entries, in six categories: Best in Show, Best New Product/Service, Editor's Choice, Best Technologies Innovation, INTERPHEX Efficiency Champion and the Biotech Innovation Award. Nucleus Biologics took Best in Show in 2026. We design the booth so the nominated product is the first thing judges see.
When is INTERPHEX 2027?
INTERPHEX 2027 runs Tuesday, April 13 to Thursday, April 15, 2027 at the Javits Center in New York. The 2026 edition ran April 21–23 at the same building.
When is the exhibit hall open at INTERPHEX 2027?
The exhibit floor is open April 13–15, 2027; daily hours for this edition are not confirmed yet. In April 2026 the aisles opened at 10 a.m. all three days, closing at 5 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday and at 2 p.m. Thursday, and badged exhibitors could enter at 7:30 each morning.
Where is INTERPHEX 2027 held?
INTERPHEX 2027 is at the Javits Center on Manhattan's West Side, between Eleventh Avenue and the Hudson River, a short walk from Hudson Yards. The 2027 hall and level are not confirmed yet; they appear on the INTERPHEX floor plan.
How many people attend INTERPHEX?
RX reported 10,000+ industry professionals, 600+ exhibiting brands and 30+ countries for INTERPHEX 2026, with 75 percent of attendees holding decision-making power. In 2025 the show drew nearly 10,000 professionals and 550+ exhibitors. Attendance for 2027 is not confirmed yet.
Who exhibits at INTERPHEX?
Pharma and biotech manufacturing suppliers make up the floor: RX counted 600+ exhibiting brands from 30+ countries in 2026. Contract manufacturing and outsourcing companies have their own district, the Contract & Outsourcing Exchange (COEX), where the 1:1 Partnering Program held nearly 300 meetings in its first year.
Who organizes INTERPHEX?
RX, the events company formerly known as Reed Exhibitions, organizes INTERPHEX. In 2026 RX named Freeman the official general contractor, Connections Housing the official housing company and the Javits Center as the source of utilities and venue services.
Before you sign for INTERPHEX
Ask any INTERPHEX exhibit builder these five questions:
- Are all fees on paper, including what the contractor at the Javits Center bills?
- Does your own shop build the booth, or do you subcontract it?
- Does your project manager stay on the floor through install and dismantle in New York?
- For INTERPHEX, what is in the rental and what is billed by the show?
- Once INTERPHEX closes, where does the booth go and what does storage cost?
Common situations
Already own a booth? Bring it: we refresh the graphics, repair what is worn, ship it, install it at INTERPHEX and store it until the next show. You keep the structure you paid for and bring it to INTERPHEX.
Exhibiting from outside the US? We are your team on the ground in New York: 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? Rentals with your graphics can be ready in two to three weeks. On the first call, we tell you what is realistic for INTERPHEX.
