Trade Shows & Conventions
Pipe and drape, booth packages, staging, tenting, and full expo services for trade shows, conventions, and industry events across Houston.
Houston Runs on Trade Shows. So Do We.
Houston hosts one of the busiest convention calendars in the country: energy conferences, medical meetings, consumer expos, industry summits, and specialty shows that fill halls, hotels, and outdoor grounds all year long. Behind every clean-looking show floor is a mountain of infrastructure: pipe and drape dividing hundreds of booths, staging for keynotes, registration builds, exhibitor furniture, signage support, and power to every square foot.
ACME Party and Tent has supplied that infrastructure since 1997. From our warehouse at 11144 S Post Oak, we support show organizers, exhibit houses, and individual exhibitors across Houston, Southeast Texas, and the Gulf Coast, and our dedicated expo services team handles the show-floor work from move-in to move-out. One call to 713-729-2424 covers the whole build.
Specialty Event Guides
Three Houston verticals get their own dedicated pages:
Ring-side tenting, grooming areas, tables, and fencing configured for conformation, agility, and specialty club events.
Conference support, health fair tenting, and screening-area setups for hospitals, clinics, and healthcare organizations.
Exhibitor tenting, hospitality structures, and heavy-duty power for energy-sector conferences, expos, and client events.
Pipe & Drape: The Backbone of the Show Floor
Nothing defines a trade show like pipe and drape. It turns an empty hall into an organized grid of booths, builds backdrops for stages and photo areas, screens storage and staff zones, and creates registration and queue lanes, all without a single permanent fixture. ACME stocks pipe and drape in the quantities real shows need and crews who can set hundreds of linear feet on a move-in schedule.
Around the drape, we supply the rest of the booth: tables, chairs, stanchions, lighting, and podiums for presenters. Organizers rent the whole floor package; individual exhibitors rent a single booth’s worth. Both get the same crew-backed service.
Indoors, Outdoors, and Everything Between
Houston shows increasingly spill outside the hall, and that is where ACME’s tenting depth pays off:
- Structure and frame tents for outdoor exhibit space and overflow halls
- Clear top and high peak tents for hospitality lounges and sponsor activations
- Staging, risers, and podiums for keynotes, panels, and product reveals
- Registration builds with pipe and drape, counters, and stanchion queues
- Generators, power distribution, lighting, and climate control for any footprint
- AV equipment, lounge furniture, and bars for client entertaining
Whether you are an organizer building a show from a floor plan or an exhibitor who needs one impressive booth, send the specs through our quote form and our expo team will price the package.

Move-In Is a Deadline, Not a Suggestion
Trade show logistics run on unforgiving clocks: the hall opens at a fixed hour, the fire marshal walks at a fixed hour, and the show opens whether your booth is ready or not. Our crews are built for that rhythm. We schedule deliveries to dock windows, coordinate with decorators and show management, and sequence the build, drape first, then furniture, then finishing, so every hour of move-in counts. At the other end, move-out happens fast and clean, because the next show is already rolling in.
If your event leans specialized, start with the dedicated guides for dog shows, medical events, and oil and gas industry events, or browse every occasion we serve on the events hub.
