Budgets shift, timelines tighten, markets evolve, and show calendars continue to grow. Through it all, one thing has stayed the same over our fifty-year history. Exhibitors need displays that make their lives easier.
That’s why rentals are rising fast going into 2026.
Not because exhibitors want less, but because they want smarter options. With more shows, more overlapping schedules, and more teams stretched thin, renting is becoming an efficient, strategic move. It also keeps budgets more predictable, which helps teams plan multiple shows without stretching resources or taking on unnecessary risk.
Renting used to be the fallback when ownership didn’t make sense. Today it’s a practical solution that gives exhibitors flexibility, speed, and far less to manage. And to support that shift, we rebuilt our entire rental lineup from the ground up.
We added 29 new kits and expanded the rental collection with 84 new add-ons, including hanging signs, counters, kiosks, and furniture. Most importantly, we revamped the entire rental list so you can rent many designs directly online.
Every program has its own challenges. Some teams are preparing for two major shows in the same quarter. Others are covering multiple shows in multiple cities. And many are testing new shows before they invest long-term.
Our Rentals support all of those needs.
If you’re trying a new event next year, a rental gives you the space and structure you need without committing to ownership. If you’re managing overlapping shows or need additional environments, a rental adds coverage without pulling your owned display out of rotation. And if you simply need extra kiosks, storage, or backlit features, you can add those without redesigning an entire exhibit.
That’s why we expanded the Nomadic rental line with layouts that address a wide range of show needs. Storage-integrated designs. Presentation stations. Backlit lightboxes. And accessories that blend into the space without making it feel crowded.
Your exhibit should adapt to your schedule, your goals, and your audience.
When we rebuilt our rental program, we didn’t treat it as a secondary option. Rentals follow the same standards we use for every Nomadic build, which means you get reliability, consistency, and a team that knows exactly how these environments are meant to perform.
Here’s what that means for your program:
Everything is prepared before it reaches the show.
Each kit is staged, fitted, inspected, and packed by our team so you know the hardware is correct, the graphics fit perfectly, and the entire space will assemble the way it should. No surprises on the show floor.
Graphics meet our printing standards.
Your branding stays consistent from show to show with our G7 certification, whether you rent once or run a full multi-city program. Our SEG, pillowcase, inkjet, and backlit graphics are produced with the same quality and process as any purchased exhibit.
We coordinate every service from start to finish.
All rentals require Nomadic shipping, installation, dismantle, and show services. We do this because we trust our team with our product.
It keeps your exhibit protected, consistent, and set exactly the way it was designed to be.
Your entire show environment is supported.
Furniture, flooring, electrical, and audio-visual can all be managed through us once your rental is confirmed. One point of coordination means fewer vendors, fewer hand-offs, and fewer opportunities for something to get lost in the process.
You get a predictable, repeatable setup every time.
Whether your show is in one city or several throughout the year, our team installs your rental the same way each time. We know the hardware, we know the system, and we know how each component is meant to perform. That consistency is what keeps the environment looking polished and intentional at every event.
If something changes, we can adjust quickly.
Tight timelines, new graphics, or an added accessory aren’t roadblocks. Our rental line was built to shift with your schedule, and our team knows how to make those adjustments work smoothly.
Rentals are more than hardware. They offer peace of mind and a smoother, more supported path to the show without carrying every detail on your own.
Planning timelines keep shrinking, and exhibitors need a faster way to secure the basics. Teams want to browse designs, understand pricing, and lock in a rental without waiting for extra steps when the decision is straightforward.
So we rebuilt our rental designs, set clear online pricing, and moved much of the catalog into a simple online ordering experience.
Now you can:
Shipping and services are coordinated after your kit is confirmed, so everything aligns with your actual event. But the rental itself can be secured in minutes.
This option works well for teams who already know the look they want, who manage multiple shows, or who simply prefer a straightforward way to book a kit without chasing down a quote.
As teams lock in their 2026 calendars, we’re already seeing clear patterns in how rentals fit into their plans:
Dual-city programs
A rented kit covers one show while an owned display supports another.
New markets
Rentals let teams test shows before committing to a long-term purchase.
Seasonal campaigns
Graphics refresh easily across multiple rental environments without rebuilding a display.
Footprint expansion
Teams use rentals to step into a 20-foot inline or add a private meeting area with minimal effort.
Overflow needs
Extra counters, kiosks, and signage update the space without redesigning the full exhibit.
Nomadic has spent fifty years designing displays that move with exhibitors as their goals evolve. This rental lineup is an extension of that work, and bringing it online gives you more control, flexibility, and speed as you plan your 2026 shows.
If you’re ready to explore what’s new, start with our online rental kits. Choose the layout that fits your next event. Once your rental is booked, we’ll take care of shipping, services, installation, and dismantle.
