Methodology & Tariff Provenance: Municipal convention centers price raw exhibit halls per net sq. ft. (eligible for 50%–100% Visit New Orleans CVB subvention rebates when master hotel room-night thresholds are met), wholesale marts license temporary expo halls alongside permanent showrooms, and HQ convention resorts waive ballroom rental ($0 space license) against a contracted 80%+ group room-block pickup and banquet F&B minimum. Modeled 10×10 exhibit figures (Est.) reflect property-calibrated planning benchmarks combining 100 sq. ft. space, facility drayage, local union or in-house setup labor, and 1× 20A/120V power drop; request written property proposals for binding event-date quotes.
