The Evolution of Modern Event Setups

Trade shows in 2026 are moving toward interactive, digital-first booth experiences. Exhibitors are shifting away from static signage and investing in touchscreen displays and digital posters that attract attention, guide attendees, and improve engagement without increasing booth size. At Manifest 2026 we saw amazing booths that incorporated new interactive technology who outshined booths with static backgrounds. Modern event technology is helping brands create flexible setups that feel innovative while remaining practical for busy show floors.
