    There have been several good suggestions about do it yourself booth
    wall and displays. I will suggest that you check with the promoter
    to see if there is a decorator for the show. If so they can rent you
    the booth walls and display cases etc. If you make your own be aware
    that most indoor shows have to comply with local fire codes and are
    subject to inspection by the local Fire Marshal. If the Fire Marshal
    comes to your booth to inspect you must be able to show that the
    materials your booth is constructed from are non flammable or have
    been treated to reduce their flammability. If they don't pass
    inspection you can be told to remove any non acceptable items. This
    is why the rental curtains are fiberglass cloth and the supports are
    metal. I have never had the Fire Marshal stop by my booth but you
    should be aware of the possibility from both the safety and the
    possibility of having your booth excluded aspects. So design
    accordingly. Stay away from plastics and synthetic materials. Fire
    retardant chemicals can be bought to treat natural fibers to reduce
    their flammability but they don't really work on synthetic cloth.
