What makes INTERPHEX different, and how we build for it
INTERPHEX is the pharma and biotech manufacturing show, and the floor is built for engineers who want to see equipment run. The Contract & Outsourcing Exchange (COEX) gives CDMOs their own district, the Pharma Innovation showcase and the Exhibitor Awards, from Best in Show to Best New Product/Service, reward booths with something new on the floor, and the Learning Lab and Show Floor Tours steer traffic past specific stands. The 1:1 Partnering Platform means many visitors arrive with meetings booked. Three in four attendees carry decision-making power and they source across the whole product development lifecycle, so a booth that lets them inspect a skid up close and then sit down with a drawing wins the week.
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, one project manager, every hall
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. 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 INTERPHEX 2027
Pick a footprint. We price it as a rental, a custom build, or a hybrid.
INTERPHEX floors mix 10×10 component suppliers with 20×40 and larger islands from the equipment and CDMO leaders, and a skid on display pushes most exhibitors past an inline. Purple clients here usually land between a 10×20 with one exposed assembly and a 20×30 island with a working machine, operator space and a closed meeting room.
One single-use assembly or component wall on a lit plinth, a process diagram and a stool-height counter for a technical conversation.

An exposed process module with operator clearance on one side, a technical counter with drawings and a small seated area for project talks.
Shown: Jack&Pup, a Purple inline booth

A central machine or skid with a walk-around inspection edge, utilities kept on the service side, a hanging sign and an open meeting table.

Multiple process stages in sequence, a live demo with operator space, a CDMO capability wall and private project rooms with drawing tables.

All-in 2026 ranges for design, structure, graphics, installation and dismantle. A custom-built booth runs roughly $100 to $250 per square foot depending on finish level. A rental of the same footprint usually lands at 35 to 50 percent of the purchase price for one show. Get an exact number for INTERPHEX with the booth cost calculator or read the 2026 booth cost guide.
Send the show, your booth size and what the space needs to do. We reply within one business day and send a rendering and a fixed proposal, usually within a week. No charge.

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.
Show 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.
Give 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 proposal comes with a rendering like this

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 until the dock calls them, and material handling runs about $195 per hundredweight, so we build in aluminum, crate everything and send one consolidated shipment from Fishkill. A process skid is machinery, not exhibit freight; we file it under machinery handling and spotting so the right crew and forklift meet it. Our crews drive down from Fishkill the same morning, and your team stays in Hudson Yards, a ten-minute walk away.
Hall rules, drayage estimates and freight deadlines for this building are in our Javits Center exhibitor guide.

INTERPHEX exhibitor questions
Questions exhibitors ask us before INTERPHEX
How much does a 20×20 at INTERPHEX cost?
A 20×20 custom island runs $50,000 to $120,000 and a 20×20 rental island $16,000 to $40,000, covering design, structure, graphics and installation. A 10×20 rental starts at $7,500. Machinery spotting, utilities and demo supplies move the number, so send us the equipment list and we return a fixed quote.
Can you install a process skid at the Javits Center?
Yes. We plan the skid into the Javits installation 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. Our supervised carpenter crew builds the exhibit and the Electricians we order connect your equipment power.
Can we rent a booth for INTERPHEX?
Yes. Rental structures carry your graphics, and we add custom pieces where the product needs them: an equipment plinth, a technical counter or a closed meeting room. Many component and services exhibitors run a 10×20 rental at INTERPHEX for two or three editions, then move to a custom island once the skid comes along.
When do we need to decide?
Design sign-off by early February 2027 gives a 30 to 45 day build in Fishkill and a late-March ship date to the advance warehouse. Machinery spotting, hanging signs and utility orders carry earlier deadlines than the booth itself, so the sooner we know what will run, the more choice you keep on finishes and freight.
Do you handle the show contractor orders and drayage?
Yes. We read the INTERPHEX exhibitor kit, file the booth forms, order material handling, power, rigging and machinery spotting through the show contractor, and act as your exhibitor-appointed contractor on the floor. You get one schedule with every deadline and one invoice, and nothing at the Javits depends on a form you did not know about.
Before you sign with anyone
Five questions to ask any exhibit builder for INTERPHEX:
- 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.
