Preparing for a major manufacturing event takes more than booking booth space. As **IMTS 2026** approaches, exhibitors are finalizing everything from booth concepts and marketing materials to staffing and logistics.

One of the first steps for many companies is choosing a **Trade Show Booth Builder for IMTS 2026** who can deliver a booth that aligns with their brand and exhibition goals. Equally important is working with a **Trade Show Booth Builder in Chicago** that understands local venue requirements and can ensure a smooth installation before the show opens.

Beyond the booth itself, what do you think should be included in every exhibitor's checklist? Do you prioritize pre-show promotions, product demonstrations, lead capture tools, staff training, or post-show follow-up?

If you've exhibited at IMTS before, share the one thing that made the biggest difference to your event. Your advice could help first-time exhibitors avoid common mistakes and get more value from their investment.
