MAGIC-specific budget pitfalls
- Hanging garment freight is a special handling category — expect surcharges and plan rack counts precisely
- Two editions per year means tighter lead times — reuse your booth system across both shows to spread build cost
- Buyers walk fast and order in volume — sample availability at the booth matters more than booth spectacle
- August edition overlaps with extreme Vegas heat — book indoor logistics windows and hydrate the team
Deadlines that protect your budget
Show cycle is short — service manual drops ~3 months out; advance deadlines ~30 days before move-in. Missing advance deadlines means paying 20–50% more for the same services. The exhibitor checklist generator turns these into a dated task list.
