Snippets from the Episode

  • "The first thing you have to consider when deciding to purchase or rent is how many times you gonna be participating in an event where you're gonna use this in trade shows? For me, the magic number's always been three." -Chris Griffin
  • I really like renting as an option. You're still gonna invest in your own graphic messaging, but when you're paying to rent that structure, it's somebody else's problem to make sure that you don't have to pay a storage fee. There's no upcharge or upkeep for repairing cracks and chips, and scratches. If you're dealing with a professional exhibit house, you just show up and you're booth's ready." -Chris Griffin
  • "Most people think about the cost of designing and building an exhibit. They don't necessarily think about the cost of owning it and using it." -Chris Griffin
