3. Absolute I & D provides supervised labor
resources for set-up and take-down of
client owned exhibits at trade shows, for
corporate programs, and on consumer road
tours. With a team of young, energetic
union members in southern California, Las
Vegas, Houston, Seattle, San Francisco and
a life-long partnership in Chicago, Absolute
I&D can service client needs throughout
the United States. We fly lead personnel
to wherever our clients need services. You
can be assured of a quality job whether the
venue is the Las Vegas Convention Center
or at the Columbus, Ohio venue.
Appearance at a trade show has the highest
value. Trade shows make available a trifecta
of bringing together future clients, existing
clients, and old clients. Your trade show
presence demonstrates to the marketplace
that you are a strong company and the
products and services you fabricate or
supply are important to your industry.
The hallmark of the Absolute I&D program
is the training of our supervisory staff to
always remain a step ahead of the rules
and regulations that govern our labor
pool, as well as the sites of installation.
Additionally, supervisory teams are assigned
by account to assure familiarity with exhibit
properties and client’s individual needs.

10. Supervision
Our lead supervisors have
widespread knowledge in
managing labor for installation
and dismantle as well as a
range of other staffing jobs.
Supervisors stay with your
project throughout the event.
They guide on-site labor and
work with sub-contractors as
necessary to guarantee the
success of the event. Our
supervisors are consistently
assigned to the same
customers to offer the best,
most personalized service.

own emergency repair facilities
in many of our service cities
and maintain agreements with
local shops in other cities. Our
asset management program
allows that a client’s exhibit
property is inspected, repaired
and ready-to-go.

nightmare stops here. The
annoyance of the endless
