It’s Justin Fricks' #JordanYear! 23 years is quite the milestone worth pausing for. 🎉 As President and Co-Owner, you’ve helped shape ShowREADY. through a lot of changes, a lot of shows, and a lot of years in an industry that never sits still. We’re lucky to have you on the team!

What happens when flowers leave the garden and take to the runway? 🌸 At FLEUROTICA 2026, our team transformed the @gpconservatory with projection mapping, dynamic runway lighting and overhead light displays, plus a livestream capturing Chicago’s floral and fashion creations.

Sorry, we can’t hear you. We’re kinda busy making sure everyone else can. 🎧

A good giveaway gets people to stop. But if they grab it and disappear before you've exchanged two words, what did the booth accomplish? The best activations give people a reason to stay for a minute, have fun, and give your team a natural opening to start a conversation.

Our Warehouse Repair & Fabrication Lead is celebrating another trip around the sun! 🎉 Thanks for all the fixing, building, problem-solving, and behind-the-scenes work that keeps our team ready for showtime.

Giving people something to make, try, or do together creates a natural opening for conversation, without the pressure of walking up to a stranger. It's a chance to connect, build something together, and leave with a shared memory. Join our next webinar: hubs.ly/Q04yXsw_0

An event pulls attention in a lot of directions. The speaker focuses on the audience. The planner manages the program. The client welcomes guests. Good production takes care of the details around them, giving everyone more room to focus on why they’re there.

Purple Reign took over Venue West for @Collaboraction’s Utopian Ball 2026 💜 Moving lights and rich uplighting set the scene for dinner, performances, and dancing, while a scenic backdrop and video totem added visual moments to an evening celebrating radical joy and community.

A lot happens with your production team before an event ever begins: ideas, decisions, changes, details, and plenty of communication along the way. Having a team you can work with easily makes a difference. Thank you to the Endeavor Health team for the partnership and the trust.

Puppies: event trend, fad, or sponsorship opportunity hiding in plain sight? 🐶 If they bring people into an activation while giving a sponsor a memorable way to show up, maybe there’s more to it than being cute. Join our next webinar: hubs.ly/Q04yXm8-0

A sponsorship can be more than putting a logo on a screen or registration page. Think about what brands can add to the attendee experience: a stage moment, interactive element, room reveal, or something people actually want to remember. What could your next sponsor make possible?

Scenic can transform an unconventional space, give a ballroom a completely different personality, or bring a branded backdrop into the room. The right elements set the tone from the moment guests walk in. Planning a space that needs more personality? 🔗 hubs.ly/Q04yXhFw0

A photo booth. A growing LED collage. A postcard you can send home from the show floor. 📸 Just one part of what we're bringing to Expo! Expo! 2026 in Milwaukee. We’re also supporting general sessions, learning zones, and exhibitor AV. See our plans: hubs.ly/Q04yGgPc0

Experience means knowing what to look for before a problem shows up. After enough time on show sites, you recognize details worth a closer look and questions worth asking. You can’t anticipate everything, but experience helps you know where to look before the clock is running.

The one time in AV we don’t wear black… and somehow we still match. 😂 Show me you’ve worked together for a long time without telling me you’ve worked together for a long time.

At the @JWMarriottChi, @Elevoque’s leadership conference brought 180 attendees together with a 60-foot LED wall, then shifted into intimate breakouts and board meetings. The evening moved to the @artinstitutechi, where lighting, branding and a live jazz band set the scene. ✨

You plan an event around the attendee experience, but once you’re onsite, your team is having an experience too. Clear communication, defined responsibilities, and the ability to adapt shape what happens in the room. At ShowREADY., how we work together is part of how we deliver.

At The Old Post Office, @Alation's revAlation Chicago brought data and AI leaders together to explore what’s next for AI. From the main stage to demos, breakouts and a hackathon, we created an experience with branded details and spaces to keep people connected throughout the day.

Over time, habits can quietly become rules, even when the reason behind them no longer exists. Revisiting those decisions creates space to confirm what still works, challenge what doesn’t, and find better ways forward. Join us for our next webinar: 🔗 hubs.ly/Q04x80SC0
