Most convention centers will gladly rent you carpet to use during the trade show for between $200 and $500 a day. The rental agreement will likely include a clause requiring you to cover any damage to the carpet – which could cost you even more.
You can save money and cuts costs by purchasing your own trade show flooring. The beauty is that the flooring comes in 2′ x 2′ inter lockable pieces that fit together to form the desired configuration. These squares come in a variety of colors and effortlessly pack into a transport case for easy shipping and transport. Plus if a spill occurs, you can replace the square or squares for cents on the dollar versus replacing an entire traditional carpet.
Interlocking carpet tiles are a great alternative to renting carpet and you can own your own carpet for the price of renting carpet for 1 show.
If you want to get really creative you can even print your company logo on your trade show flooring.
