During a typical day at the office, any supplies you might need are easily accessible and it's unlikely anyone would ever consider running out of staples to be a "crisis." When you're on the trade show floor however, it's an entirely different story. Needing anything from Velcro for attaching graphics, to duct tape for a quick fix can become quite the dilemma. . . and an expensive one at that. If you're in need of a roll of tape ten minutes before an event starts and the only supplier is Show Services, you may find yourself paying unreasonable prices. To avoid ending up in this situation altogether, it's essential to pack a "gang box" for your next trade show.

A gang box is an event survival kit containing items to help you in almost any scenario. Experienced exhibitors bring a "gang box" with them to every event and ensure that it's restocked before every show. Our trade show checklist contains both the basics as well as a list of items for more extreme scenarios.
