Press Room

Springfield, VA - June 8, 2009 - Nomadic Display, a world leader in custom modular and custom portable display solutions, and Prairie Display/Chicago, located in Elmhurst, IL, are teaming up bring the latest display innovations to TS2 2009.  This annual event will be held July 20-23, 2009, at McCormick Place in Chicago.

Exhibitors looking for smart display solutions to attract audiences, to adapt to changing market challenges and to reduce their overall ownership costs will find them in booth #807.  Visitors to the booth will encounter an environment reminiscent of the American Arts and Crafts movement.  The Prairie School of architects, originated in Chicago, designed buildings characterized by open plans, straight, horizontal lines such as flat roofs and overhanging eaves and natural materials.  These elements were thought to evoke, and relate to, the native prairie landscape of the Midwest.  Prairie Display/Chicago chose the theme to reinforce its roots in, and service to, the greater Chicagoland area. 

Key themes of the Prairie School - - simplicity, function and craftsmanship - - are among the key strengths of Nomadic exhibits and have been incorporated into the show display.  An 18' tall square tower is constructed of Nomadic's new triple channel aluminum extrusion with wood tone laminate. The tower features a flat "roof" with overhanging eaves that support track lighting.  Rectangular shelves, monitors and an internal storage area serve presentation and functional needs. 

Instand custom portable displays are creating a sensation for their high style and cost effectiveness.  Foundation, Nomadic's newest invention, is a custom riser that blends Instand systems with upscale accessories to elevate presentations to a new level. Nomadic and Prairie designed an 8' display that features an LCD monitor mounted directly to the Instand frame, an overhead sconce with LED lighting, layered fabric graphics and literature dispensers.  It demonstrates the unique style and abundant flexibility exhibitors have to easily change or re-arrange their functional presentation needs from show-to-show.

 "It's an ingenious solution for exhibitors who want a brand-building new look and all the savings benefits of a lightweight portable in one customized presentation," says Gwen Parsons, Senior Vice-President of Nomadic Display.

"We chose cherry wood, wheat shafts and gingko leaves for our laminates and graphics because they represent plant life indigenous to the Midwest region.  Visitors to our display will receive a free gift of nature," says Steve Moskal, President of Prairie Display/Chicago.
