Trade-show booth three-point PERT

This three-point PERT chart estimates the work needed to deliver a trade-show booth. Concept approval releases booth design and service booking. The design leads to fabrication, and materials can ship only when fabrication and services are ready. Installation ends the sequence. Each activity has an optimistic, likely and pessimistic estimate so an events team can consider supplier variability, fabrication risk and logistics delays. The compact network supports a realistic deadline conversation before committing to an exhibition date. Add artwork approval, customs clearance or on-site electrical testing when they affect your booth plan.
