Trade Show Advertising That Beats Booth Traffic Roulette

Rent a fleet of LED walking billboards to own the sidewalks around every major convention center. Drive qualified attendees directly to your booth — with GPS-verified impressions and per-scan attribution.

Every trade show buyer faces the same problem: a $40K booth surrounded by 900 other $40K booths. Trade show advertising outside the hall — where badge-holders actually walk — is the single highest-leverage way to fix that. PackAdz deploys a fleet of LED walking billboards on the sidewalks, hotel corridors, and rideshare drop-off zones around the convention center. Turnkey. Permit-safe. GPS-verified.

Playbook

Own the walking routes

We route walkers between the host hotels, shuttle stops, coffee lines, and hall entrances — the corridors every attendee uses whether they visit your booth or not.

Drive to a booth number, not a URL

Creative rotates your booth number, hall, and a scannable QR that opens directions in Apple/Google Maps. Attendees who scan get an SMS reminder before the show ends.

Cover competitors' keynotes

Deploy walkers outside competitor-sponsored sessions and after-parties. Your creative is the last thing badge-holders see before they walk back to the hall.

Sponsor-grade reporting

Every impression is GPS-verified. QR scans, dwell time, and hourly heatmaps ship inside 48 hours of load-out — the same report format you'd hand a CFO.
