Tradeshow Installation and Dismantle
is a time sensitive industry, much like the movie industry "the show
must go on". Tradeshow Installers are dispatched to various convention
centers and hotels around Southern California. Depending on the size
of the show, there could be as many as 1000 installers on a job. The
Installer's lay carpet, set up exhibits, install various graphics,
suspend truss and rigging for specialty lighting etc. Once the show
opens, the installers are either dispatched to another job or have
a few days off before returning to dismantle the show and prepare for
the next event.
Due to the time sensitive nature of
the industry, an installer may have to work as long as 16+ hours in
one day. This type of dedication to the job is well rewarded.
