Counters and Podiums
Trade Show Counter Displays and Portable Podiums
Promotional counters and podiums are alluring and resplendent. Picture how sophisticated you and your team will look standing behind a vibrant counter display with your branding. The graphics are printed in high definition on a quality fabric material with dye sublimation, and this process results in a superior quality print with clean, rich colors.
SEG displays are sturdy, portable, and easy to manage. You can use your counter as a trade show display one day and a podium display at a convention the next. The countertop is a stylish frosted acrylic that is useful for handouts and meeting customers, while the inside of the counter provides extra storage by lifting up a corner of the graphic.
Add lighting and choose to “go with the glow” to further enhance your branding with brilliant illumination that radiates luxury and flair.
We can make SEG fabric displays in almost any size to meet your needs. Our extrusions can build custom trade show counters, tall towers, banner stands, event booths, and backdrops. We use quality aluminum extrusions and silicone edge graphics (SEG) that have a tightly drawn, smooth fit. The frosted acrylic countertop sits on top of the frame, giving you a place to meet with customers and keep presentation materials. All trade show podium displays have the option of being enhanced with LED lights to kick them up a notch, and they are made in the USA.
Internally lit counters are brilliant and alluring, which means this lighting dramatically enhances your display. If you want the wow factor then simply add lights. Bright LED strip lighting attaches to the frame uprights, and the lights point inward to illuminate the center for smooth ambient lighting throughout the entire display. The lights are low voltage with a transformer that plugs into standard outlets.
Many exhibitors use trade show counters to create a more defined booth footprint and improve traffic flow throughout their exhibit space. Positioning a counter near the front of the booth gives visitors a clear point of contact and helps staff engage attendees more efficiently. Larger counters can also separate demonstration areas from conversation spaces, creating a more organized environment during busy events.
Businesses that participate in multiple industry events often invest in interchangeable graphics so a single counter can support different marketing campaigns throughout the year. Trade show podiums provide similar flexibility, allowing organizations to maintain consistent branding while adapting presentations for conferences, expos, association meetings, and corporate events.

Big Sky Podium Stands are great for speaking engagements. You can travel with them from event to event and easily change the graphics as often as you like. Standing behind an upscale custom-printed trade show podium is soothing for the speaker, and the audience will have more appreciation and respect. Consider a backlit podium for adding a harmonious glowing atmosphere. The 2ft-wide podiums are the most popular for speaking events.
Big Sky Counter Displays are ideal for trade show events since they feature stunning printed graphics, style, and portability. Trade show counters are generally set up in front of your booth to promote your business and welcome customers.

The acrylic countertop offers ample room for handouts, brochures, and meeting customers face to face. The 4ft and 6ft trade show counters are most popular with our exhibitors.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How much weight can a countertop hold?
A: The countertop is rated for 15–25 lbs.
Q: Are the counters easy to set up?
A: Yes, the kits come with everything you need, including instructions and the hex tool. Once the frame is constructed, the graphic edges insert into the frame’s recessed grooves. Set the counter on top and you are ready to go. It’s a one-person job and after the first set-up it is very easy.
Q: How long does it take to get my counter?
A: Allow 3–5 days for printing and building the frame. We have east coast and west coast facilities, so transit is generally 1–3 days ground rates.
Q: Will my colors fade when illuminated?
A: Any backlit graphic will lighten up when illuminated. We print dye sublimation with deep saturation to minimize this as much as possible. When designing, select deep colors that can lighten a bit and still look good, black will gray a bit so blue may be a better choice if possible. For areas where you want to highlight design in the lightest colors, yellows and oranges look amazing when backlit.
