Trade Show Booth Design in Portland, Maine
ET Expo designs, builds and ships custom and rental trade show booths for exhibitors in Portland, Maine, and installs them at the downtown Cross Insurance Arena and the Portland Exposition Building.
Neither building is a large convention hall, so booth size and load-in speed matter more than usual. Cross Insurance Arena, owned by Cumberland County and managed by Oak View Group, opened in 1977 and was renovated in 2012; it books trade shows alongside concerts on a 17,000 sq ft arena floor, served by two loading docks and one drive-in access door. Visit Portland lists the Exposition Building on Park Avenue, beside Hadlock Field, as the city's largest multi-purpose space: 25,000 sq ft of function space in three rooms, hosting more than 270 events a year. Floors like these suit compact modular or rental exhibits that assemble quickly, and we design, fabricate, ship, install and dismantle them from our Las Vegas shop.
