Planner questions
Exhibit Types planning questions
What matters most when comparing districts in Columbus?
The practical differences are usually freight routing, available staging space, venue-run service structures, and whether the event behaves like a convention-floor program, a ballroom conversion, or a regional expo.
Does this section assume one local operating model for every show?
No. the guidance stays venue-driven and market-specific so the scope can flex around the actual building, event format, and published operating rules.
What should planners gather before pricing or scheduling?
Venue name, dates, exhibitor manual or venue planning packet, booth or room footprint, freight assumptions, and any requirements for utilities, hanging elements, or overnight turnovers.
