Build Timeline for DECA ICDC

We plan DECA ICDC builds backwards from the official load-in window. Structural elements pre-staged the day before, graphics applied morning-of, AV and lighting calibrated by midday, then a final walkthrough with the project manager before doors open.

For DECA ICDC, we run a build-list per booth that tracks every component from production through install. Anything not checked off in the production manager's hand at crate-up is reflagged for field assembly, so the crew on-site doesn't discover missing pieces under pressure.

Attendance is typically 20000+, and the show targets Fortune 500 corporate sponsors, colleges and universities, business associations, technology and retail brands. Large student business and marketing competition. Orlando is a frequent host city due to OCCC capacity and theme park appeal for student groups.

Booth Installation Requirements at Orange County Convention Center

Booth install at DECA ICDC requires a specific paperwork chain: COI for the venue, EAC for the show, and union signoffs for rigging or electrical. We handle all of it as part of the build scope so you don't get a show-floor surprise.

We plan around those rules instead of fighting them.

On-Site Coordination for DECA ICDC

On-site at DECA ICDC, our supervisor coordinates with Orange County Convention Center's show management, the GC if there is one, and your account team. Daily handoffs document what's done and what's outstanding so dismantle doesn't surprise anyone.

A 20x20 custom booth at DECA ICDC typically installs in 4-6 hours with a 3-person crew, longer if there are hanging signs, complex AV, or extensive graphic detailing. We schedule the install during Orange County Convention Center's official load-in window and finish well before show open.
