Why exhibit in New Orleans?
New Orleans pairs one of the country’s largest contiguous exhibit halls with a walkable entertainment district, a combination that draws major medical, energy and food conventions. The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center runs enormous shows along the riverfront, minutes from the French Quarter’s hotels and restaurants.
The hot, humid Gulf climate makes durable, moisture-tolerant displays important. Apex prints canopies, banner stands, backdrops and table covers to order and ships them to your New Orleans venue or business address, ready for the show.
New Orleans is a favorite for large national conventions — especially medical and healthcare, where its walkability and hospitality keep attendees engaged from session to show floor. Energy and maritime industries add a strong regional base, and the food scene makes it a memorable host city. A coordinated display kit helps a compact booth stand out across the Morial Center’s vast halls.

Banner Stands & Retractable Banner Stands in New Orleans
A New Orleans convention spreads across the exhibit hall, hotel ballrooms and off-site venues within walking distance, and banner stands are what let one team brand all of it. Retractable banner stands roll a full-height graphic into a weighted base and stand up in seconds wherever you set them down. X-stand banners are light enough to carry several blocks by hand and cheap enough to place at every satellite session. Tabletop banners brand a registration counter. All take replaceable printed graphics, so hardware bought for one convention keeps working for the next event on the calendar.

Getting banner stands into New Orleans venues
A New Orleans convention spreads across the Morial exhibit hall, hotel ballrooms and off-site venues within walking distance, and banner stands are what let one team brand all of it. A retractable stand goes up wherever it is set down; X-stands are light enough to carry several blocks by hand, which matters in a compact downtown where moving a vehicle between venues costs more time than walking. Each takes a replaceable graphic, so hardware bought for one convention works the next.
Planning your New Orleans booth
The Morial Convention Center uses an official freight contractor with an advance warehouse and union labor at big shows — budget for material handling. Portable displays travel as a case or tube and avoid much of that cost. Approve your proof early: production is 6–8 business days (2–3 rush) before transit, so for a large medical convention, count back from move-in and allow time for artwork approval, production and shipping.

New Orleans FAQ
Do you ship trade show displays to New Orleans?
Yes. Apex ships custom-printed trade show, exhibition and event displays to New Orleans and across Louisiana — to the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, a French Quarter or downtown hotel, or your business address. Everything is made to order with a free artwork proof, and production runs 6–8 business days (2–3 with rush) before transit.
How early should I order for a New Orleans convention?
Production is 6–8 business days after proof approval, or 2–3 with rush, plus transit that varies by address. For a large medical or energy convention, work backwards from move-in and leave room for artwork approval, production and shipping rather than ordering in the final days.
Can trade show displays be shipped to the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center?
Yes. Apex ships to any New Orleans address you provide, including the Morial Convention Center. We don't have a special delivery arrangement with the venue, so give us the exact receiving address and follow the show's current freight, labeling and delivery-window requirements, or route the shipment through the official advance warehouse.
Is rush production available for New Orleans exhibitors?
Yes — a 2–3 business day rush is available on most instant-priced products, with transit added by destination. Rush shortens production only, so plan the shipping leg separately, and allow extra margin during the June-to-November hurricane season when Gulf transit can be disrupted.
