Here is a new spin on a table top, directional sign or just a way to grab attention. Floor Model or table top, it is the same system. I like the way it looks and sets up and the price is sweet too. The hardware on the back allows you to set the direction of the sign. horizontal, vertical or and angle. Even cooler, you can do it face up if you have an opportunity to show it off that way!
Graphcis are fabric dye sub and WASHABLE! They are connected by button holes so change up the graphics by show or by day. Love it Love it. I have done many of them. The key is in the design. Graphic based not word based, so if you need a lot of words, this is not for you. But if you want something easy and changeable, this is the ticket. Even though they are popular, there is usually only 2 or 3 at a medium size show. Dramatic.

The Glide is a brand new exhibit system. It has the great factor or being a big exhibit but still will ship small. Not an easy thing to accomplish.
The background is fabric and the kiosk is a panel system. Use them together or separately. It is hard to believe that this exhibit fits into a clam shell case.
The Glide won a Buyer's choice Award at the Exhibitor Show 2009.
The Kiosk can hold a 36" monitor and treats the Video as the most important item.
30 minute set up.
Cost is approximate $6000 depending on the system and accessories. Evaluation: I was able to see the new exhibit at Exhibitor Show this year although I was not able to set up and dismantle the item myself. 
It does look impressive. In the above photo it shows the square fabric graphic and I like this. It also comes in a round version. Looks good but takes away valuable marketing space and why do that.?
I like the fact it can be used as an individual 10' exhibit and also used as a stand alone kiosk. Very clever and needed in today's world.
The company that manufacturers this exhibit is a good quality company with some good people working inside. I would count them as top of the line. They do tend to suffer in the timing aspect though. Allow for extra time for processing an order. There is very little wiggle room with them and customizing is available but a lot of extra time is needed and cost is added. I have worked with them in the past and I can recommend them highly, I just know that I have to work twice as hard with them for mundane questions and allow that time will be wasted. I would not recommend this to a client who was in a pinch and needed something fast and fantastic. We work with many companies in the exhibit world. I have no tolerance for bad product. Some are fantastic in all aspects and I work with them over and over. Other companies have great product but you need to allow extra time to get the job done. This is an issue for me to deal with and not my client. Hopefully if I do my job correctly my client will never know of the extra work being done in these cases.
Over all Review- Pretty dang cool and worth the exta time.

combines lightweight aluminum extrusion and vibrant tension fabric graphics for an upscale, cost-effective trade show display. Its unique patent-pending "S" shape ensures that the Perfect 10 is much more than a pretty face. Every Perfect 10 is easy-to-assemble (attached knobs), packs in portable roto-molded cases, and includes options such as headers, counters, workstations, and monitor mounts.
My opinion- I like the system! It is easy to put together and is very convertable. Graphics are fabric with velcro and can be changed out in 10 minutes. Pack a few versions for the show and hit your new products like a pro. I think it looks clean and new without all the flippercannery. Useless stuff that looks a little cool but just takes up time getting it up and down.
Packaging- The 10x20 system is in 5 clam shell cases. They will be stacked on a pallet and shrink wrapped. I think I like the tub better but if you only want to use 10 of the display this is the way to go. This system is also packed incrediable well. One of the best I have seen. Well labeled and everything has a nice foam slot fitting.
Directions- are really nice too. They come in a hard copy book and digital also. so you can keep a back up. Ahhhh Technology.
Overall review- a real keeper. a Trade show exhibit that can change and grow with you.

mate is great for high impact in a fast and lightweight fashion. If you manage reps at your company then this system would be a stunner and practical too. The graphics can be easily changed out for different products. The graphics are dye sublimation so if they get dirty- wash them, yes, wash them. It is that easy. Costs range from $550 and up
The heart of the new Echo for Abex is an incredibly strong double-beam OctanormTM 2 3/8 in. square aluminum frame that reduces weight, allows graphic layering, AV options and provides structural integrity.
[feature details]
Echo dispels the myth that you can't take it with you. Echo's rigid aluminum frame can easily support up to a 32" monitor, yet a ten-foot Echo system with two counters and AIRTUB weighs in at less than 1200 pounds for reduced transportation and drayage costs.
The Echo AIRTUB is the world's most advanced exhibit packing system. The result of years of industrial research and design, the Echo AIRTUB weighs hundreds of pounds less than conventional wood crates while offering superior component protection in transit as well as reduced drayage and shipping costs. Numbered components and packing location facilitates parts location to reduce set-up time.
The Abex Colorwave LED System offers an economical LED color change system that comes with 10 pre-set color changing programs, as well as an infrared remote that allows you to change your lighting program on the fly while on the show floor.
Cost- 10 foot exhibit is 12-15k
Set Up- Can you work an allen wrench? Most of the extrusion systems are pretty easy to set up but it will be easier with two people. The graphics are super easy to add or change. Feel free to change during the show to add spice.
Shipping- Very nice molded shipping tub. Abex has one of the best shipping tubs on the market. Jigged out great and the pieces are always easy to organize by their labeling. Tub has wheels for moving and they can be damaged just like all the rest. They are easy to replace. tubs are usually 5' square and are great to stack. Other cases available.
Outlook- System is custom designed by a real live cool designer-Armen Gharabegian , ethos design http://www.ethosdesign.net/web.html THese types of display layouts remind me of the Web. windows popping up and all. This design is the best of the bunch. The extrusion is Octanorm- also the best of the extrusions. You won't get stuck at a show with a broken tension lock. Both Abex and Octanorm have a long history of good solid production and you can't beat thier shipping tubs.
Allow extra time for ordering and delivery. The production schedule normal but thier is no rushing abex. Well for a rush charge you can, I guess, but they don't like it. They have a good system in place and they do not like to deviate in the time allowed.
Over all- I really like this sytem. It has all the right moves and it is easy to change out the graphics. Great for 10' or larger.
Information of system is from manufacturer website and not written or verified by this writer. The opinion is all me!
