The 2025 Annual Survey of Exhibition Rates benchmarks material handling, labor, electrical, flooring, and more across 23 U.S. cities. The report is independently audited, publicly sourced, and ready to use. This year's numbers include an 18.4% spike in electrical outlet rates, a 9.5% jump in material handling base rates to $2.28 per pound, and a geographic cost gap that now puts New York 75% above the least expensive city, Atlanta. Whether you're an exhibitor trying to protect your budget, a show organizer negotiating on behalf of your exhibitors, or a supplier benchmarking your pricing against the market, this is the data you need.
