Strike and closeout happen the same day.
Cost and lead time
Every project has the same cost drivers.

Outcomes we optimize for
Most programs in San Mateo are evaluated on lead-capture volume, meetings booked on the floor, and qualified-pipeline attribution after the show. The booth is a means to those numbers — it is not the number itself.
A week after the show, the booth's actual floor performance is already clearer than any pre-show projection. We document those observations alongside the technical closeout so the next cycle inherits real signal, not nostalgia.

The same crew that built the booth runs the install, knows the pack-out, and catches the small things — a missing hardware pack, a graphic edge that needs reseating, a storage crate routed to the wrong bay — without needing the client team to intervene.
