Double Deck Trade Show Booths in New Orleans
A double deck booth, also called a two-story trade show booth or multi-level exhibit, adds a second floor above your island space. Keep the ground floor open for demos and traffic, and move meetings, hospitality and storage upstairs. You get up to twice the usable space without renting more floor.
New Orleans is one of the best-value cities in the country for a double deck. Labor is usually the biggest variable on a two-story build, and because Louisiana is a right-to-work state, show labor generally costs less than in Chicago, New York or Las Vegas. That leaves more budget for graphics, lighting, LED walls and furniture.
As custom booth builders serving New Orleans, we know the Morial Convention Center‘s halls, contractors and approval process. You have two ways to get started.

At the Morial Convention Center, detailed plans for every multi-story booth must be submitted about 60 days before move-in and approved in writing before you build. The plans must state the maximum number of people allowed on the upper deck, and the Fire Prevention authority can require fire watch, smoke detection, extinguishers and multiple exits.
That’s why it pays to work with a supplier that has real double deck experience in New Orleans. A late submittal or missing detail can keep your upper deck closed on opening day. Every booth we build follows ADA requirements and local fire and safety codes, and we handle every submittal for you.
