New Tools
Durable Display
Oftentimes, portable trade show displays are durable or easy to set up – but seldom are they both. The Luban DIY Modular Display provides the best of both worlds with a patented slide-and-click assembly process that requires no tools but is secured with a powerful locking system that makes the structure feel more like a sturdy custom build than a pop-up stand. Aluminum frame components and silicone-edge graphics work together to make graphic panels, counters, storage areas, and more, while accessories such as monitor brackets, shelves, and clip lighting assemble with the same tool-free ease to create a fully functional space. Sizes range from 10 to 30 feet long with heights of up to 13 feet, and wheeled cases in a variety of sizes can transport an entire system in one container. Contact: Bannermate Exhibition System Co.

Ceramic Style
When you need the elegant look of ceramic tile with the convenience of a roll of vinyl, The Inside Track Inc. might have what you are looking for. Ten-foot-wide and 85-millimeter-thick vinyl in black, white, or slate gray features a textured ceramic finish that is impervious to heavy traffic, harsh cleaners, and scuff marks. The vinyl has a semimatte finish, making it ideal for in-booth photography or filming, and it lays flat over uneven subfloors to provide cushioning and sound absorption along with a skid-proof surface. Reusable and crafted of virgin vinyl, the flooring will last for years. Contact: The Inside Track Inc., Atlanta, 888-806-7308, www.theinsidetrackinc.com
Power Trip
Extending smartphone and tablet battery life on the trade show floor – a necessity for staffers and a welcome perk for booth visitors – just got a lot easier thanks to MG's Novi mobile device charging station. The sleek charging dock uses MG's proprietary wireless LunaPulse technology to fully charge up to eight portable battery pods in less than three hours. Each battery pod holds 2,600 mAh of energy (a cobalt blue LED strip indicates when each pod is fully charged) and features Lightning and Micro USB cables that can be used to power two mobile devices simultaneously. Even more useful: The charging dock receives power through a removable two-prong cable that can be swapped out for use in any country, making the Novi a universal show-floor essential.
