What are the types of portable trade show displays?

Pop-Up : A web-like structure that pops up into position easily ( some more easily than others). Graphic mural panels or Velcro compatible fabric panels are then attached to the frame. The pop-up frames can be used as tabletops as well as islands.

Panels : These displays are made up of hard panels of varying sizes which go together without tools to form different shapes and sizes of displays. Some of the panel systems are folding sections ( like an accordian), and some are all individual panels.

Hybrid Systems : These displays are made up of aluminum poles with panels attached and/or tension fabric. Many shapes and sizes of displays are possible with this system, and monitors or plasma screens can be attached to the poles, for a "techie" look.
