Multi-Trade Coordination for Keeneland Spring Meet
Our multi-trade scope for Keeneland Spring Meet includes the small handoffs that go wrong when nobody owns them — graphics arriving at the warehouse but not loading on the truck, AV gear shipped to the wrong address, freight scheduled outside the move-in window. Full service means those handoffs are documented and tracked.
We coordinate fabricators, printers, AV providers, freight carriers, drayage handlers, install supervisors, dismantle crews, and storage facilities for Keeneland Spring Meet.
Post-Show Storage and Asset Management
Storage at Keeneland Spring Meet's post-show cycle is part of our standard scope. Booth components get inventoried, photographed for condition, refurbished where needed, and staged for the next show on your calendar. Asset roster reports go out quarterly so nothing disappears.
We manage trade show assets across the full calendar — booths for Keeneland Spring Meet, plus your other shows, plus the sponsorship activations, plus the executive-event environments. Asset management is the difference between owning your trade show program and renting it from your vendor pool.

How is full service priced compared to project-by-project?
Full service is priced on the total program — fabrication, freight, labor, storage, asset management — with retainer pricing for ongoing engagements. The per-event cost is usually lower than equivalent project-by-project work because the overhead amortizes across the calendar.
How do you handle budgeting for multi-show calendars?
Multi-show calendars get budgeted at the program level — total annual spend across shows, with per-event breakdowns and asset-amortization schedules for owned booths. We forecast freight, labor, and venue costs based on the specific shows on your calendar.
Do you work with our existing creative agency?
Yes — full-service engagements often include the brand's creative agency on design direction. We handle the build execution side: fabrication, production, freight, labor, and venue compliance. The collaboration works best with clear scope ownership upfront.
