What should get settled first for booth-types?
The venue, timing, and support path should be settled before the rest of the plan is finalized.
Booth Formats
Des Moines booth types for inline, island, modular, rental, and double-deck exhibit planning
Booth format controls both the physical footprint and the operating burden. In Des Moines, that means the booth choice has to work with the venue, the floor plan, the labor path, and the show objective at the same time.

10x10 Trade Show Booths
A 10x10 inline booth is the workhorse footprint for Des Moines exhibitors, so we treat the 100 square feet as a layout problem, not a banner-on-a-wall afterthought.

10x20 Trade Show Booths
A 10x20 doubles your aisle frontage in Des Moines, and the win is in zoning the 200 square feet so demo, meeting, and storage each get real room.

Backlit & LED Displays
Backlit SEG light boxes and LED video walls are how Des Moines exhibitors stay visible under flat hall lighting, but power, rigging, and content all have to be planned together.

Banner Stands & Retractable Displays
Retractable roll-ups and tension banner stands are the most portable displays a Des Moines exhibitor owns, so we treat them as a reusable graphics system, not a throwaway sign.

Table Top Displays & Throws
Tabletop backwalls and fitted table throws are built for the tabletop-only shows that fill the Des Moines calendar, where the table is the booth and presentation is everything.

Backwall & Backdrop Displays
SEG fabric walls, pop-up backdrops, and step-and-repeat are the centerpiece graphics behind a Des Moines booth or stage, and the right structure depends entirely on the room.

Inline displays, modular builds, rental programs, island exhibits, and double-deck concepts all place different demands on shipping, labor, and supervision.
These pages keep the focus on practical use: what the format changes, where the risk sits, and what kind of support tends to matter most.

Research notes
The Iowa Events Center campus anchors Des Moines with the Community Choice Convention Center, Wells Fargo Arena, and Hy-Vee Hall.
The Iowa State Fairgrounds complex on the east side of the city is a major year-round trade-show and expo venue with the Varied Industries Building and the Jacobson Exhibition Center.
West Des Moines hosts Ron Pearson Center and a concentration of corporate meeting hotels.
Iowa Events Center publishes current exhibitor and event guidelines that planners should work from rather than assuming a generic convention-center process.
The convention campus includes Community Choice Convention Center, Hy-Vee Hall, and Wells Fargo Arena with different access patterns and exhibitor paperwork depending on the hall in use.
