Art galleries
Rotating shows and represented artists mean a new hang every few weeks. Plan each show's wall arrangement ahead of time, keep consignment details attached to every piece, and know the split the moment something sells.
For art fairs, craft fairs & galleries
Plan your beautiful booth, before you ever set foot in the venue.
Tradeshow is a true-to-scale booth planner for art fairs, craft fairs, and gallery shows - arrange walls, place every piece, and know exactly how your booth will look, long before install day.
Who it's for
Built for anyone who has to make a booth look right
If your work has to look intentional in a space you don't control - a rented booth, a borrowed gallery wall, a shop floor that resets every season - Tradeshow was built around that problem. It doesn't assume a standard wall size, a fixed inventory, or a single kind of show; it assumes you'll be planning a different space with different pieces again next month, and makes that easy to redo instead of easy to forget how you did it the first time.
Antique & vintage dealers
No two pieces are the same size, and inventory turns over constantly. Tradeshow handles irregular dimensions and mixed inventory just as well as a wall of uniform frames, so odd-shaped pieces still get a planned spot instead of a last-minute one.
Art & craft fairs
Juried fairs hand you a footprint, not a floor plan. Model your actual booth dimensions, work out what fits before you're standing in a 10x10 tent, and get everything hung in the short install window you're given.
Museum gift shops
Merchandise resets with every new exhibition, but the shop's footprint never grows. Reuse the same wall and shelf layout across seasons, and only replan the parts that actually changed.
Trade show exhibitors
Pop-up booths and product displays need to look identical at every stop on the circuit. Save a layout once, and bring the same brand-consistent booth to the next show without redesigning it from scratch.
Traveling exhibitions
Every stop on a tour is a different room, sometimes measured secondhand from a floor plan the venue sent over. Rebuild the layout to each new venue's real dimensions before the truck even arrives.
What it does
Everything from inventory to install
One planner for the whole run-up to a show - from the pieces in your inventory to the walls they'll hang on.
Organized piece inventory
Titles, dimensions, pricing, condition, and consignment details stay exactly where you already keep them - Tradeshow just gives them a home on the wall.
True-to-scale wall planning
Drag, drop, and rotate photos of your actual pieces - sized to their real dimensions, down to the inch - on a wall scaled to your space, so nothing surprises you on install day.
Full 3D booth walkthroughs
Build your booth in 3D using photos of your real pieces at true size, assign walls to each surface, and place freestanding pieces on the floor - then walk through it from any angle before it exists.
Print-ready labels
Generate ready-to-print, on-brand labels for every piece - your logo, your fields, auto-sized to fit.
Sales & consignment tracking
Mark pieces sold, calculate consignment splits automatically, and export a full report the moment the show closes.
Every show, kept organized
Booths, walls, and layouts stay tied to the show they belong to - reuse a layout for a recurring fair, or start fresh for a new venue in minutes.
Why it matters
A few minutes of planning saves a day of install
Most booth layouts still get worked out in someone's head, on a napkin, or by standing in the space and guessing. That works, right up until install day, when the plan meets the actual room and something doesn't fit - a piece is bigger than the wall it was meant for, the entrance blocks the one spot you'd planned for the centerpiece, or there just isn't time left to fix it before doors open. Planning the layout before you arrive turns install day into execution instead of improvisation.
Avoid rehanging artwork
Every extra nail hole, adhesive strip, or hook repositioned mid-install is wear on a piece you're trying to sell. Deciding final placement before anything leaves the studio means each piece goes on the wall once - not hung, reconsidered, and moved again in front of a framed, glazed piece you'd rather not handle twice.
Maximize wall space
A booth wall is expensive real estate, whether you're paying by the square foot or just working with what a venue gave you. Laying pieces out to true scale shows exactly how much space is left before you're on-site - so you bring the right amount of work, instead of either empty wall or pieces that don't fit.
Preview traffic flow
A booth is walked through, not just looked at. Seeing the full layout ahead of time - where the entrance is, what's visible from the aisle, whether a large piece blocks sightlines to smaller ones - catches flow problems while they're still easy to fix, instead of after visitors are already bottlenecking in a corner.
Reduce installation time
Install windows at fairs and venues are often just a few hours. When the layout is already decided, the whole team can hang from a plan instead of making decisions on a ladder - no standing back to eyeball spacing, no reshuffling because two pieces don't work side by side.
Reuse layouts
A recurring fair or a seasonal shop reset rarely needs a layout built from zero - just adjusted. Save a booth's dimensions and wall arrangement once, then start next time from that instead of an empty canvas, and only replan the pieces that actually changed.
How it works
From inventory to booth in three steps
Add your inventory
Point Tradeshow at your existing inventory - nothing to re-enter.
Plan the booth
Lay out walls and floor pieces in 2D or 3D, to the exact dimensions of your space.
Print & track
Print labels for every piece, then track sales and consignments as the show runs.
