Depend on our expertise for shows of all sizes, in venues ranging from large hotel ballrooms to major convention facilities. Our design experts, account executives, operations managers and customer service teams have unparalleled knowledge of the indus- try, offering you the best solutions in the most efficient manner. In 2012, we launched nBooth, a system specifically designed to address exhibitors' time critical move-in needs. Exhibitors can order fur- nishings and communicate with Brede Customer Service regarding labor services during move-in via any web enabled mobile device. For added convenience, exhibitors can access the nBooth application at show site by scanning a QR code posted on signs around the exhibit hall. Brede has developed the nBooth system to save exhibi- tors valuable time on show site, by minimizing trips to the Service Desk and allowing them to maximize their event resources.
