Crafting a Functional and Aesthetic Set for the NAR NXT Expo

LA Set Construction had the great honor to collaborate with Starmedia Entertainment on their exhibit for the NAR NXT Expo, the largest trade show for the real estate industry. Located at the Anaheim Convention Center, this event brought together industry professionals for networking, learning, and exploring emerging trends. Our role was to create a custom set capable of supporting an LED screen, seamlessly blending functionality and design to meet the client’s vision.

Bringing the Set to Life

The set was designed as a large rectangular enclosure with a truss system integrated to support the LED screen. Cables were hidden behind the walls to create a polished and seamless appearance. The walls also featured precise cutouts to accommodate cable entry, maintaining the clean aesthetic desired by the client.

Materials Used

To ensure durability and a flawless finish, we used the following materials:

  • Plywood: For the walls and doors
  • Truss System: To support the LED screen
  • Spackle: For filling imperfections
  • Primer and White Paint: For a sleek, professional finish
  • Sandbags: To secure the structure
  • Explore our Custom Fabrication Services to see how we deliver custom solutions for trade shows and events

Fabrication and Installation Process

1. Wall Fabrication

Our carpentry team built the walls and doors from high-quality plywood. Any imperfections, such as misplaced nails or pre-existing cracks, were filled with spackle and sanded to achieve a smooth surface.

2. Painting the Set

After preparing the walls, we applied a layer of primer, followed by a coat of solid white paint for a clean, professional look. This ensured the set was camera-ready and visually striking at the expo.

3. Truss System Installation

To support the LED screen, we planned and installed a truss system with the following steps:

  • Assembly: Truss sections were connected securely and aligned using levels.
  • Stability: Vertical supports and cross bracing were added to ensure structural integrity.
  • Safety: All mounts, connections, and hardware were inspected and load-tested before adding the LED screen.

4. LED Screen Integration

The LED screen was securely mounted to the truss system. Cable management was a priority, with cables routed through hidden openings in the walls to maintain the set’s clean design.

Final Touches

Once the structure was complete, we performed a final safety check and powered on the LED screen to ensure it operated flawlessly. The result was a visually appealing, fully functional display that elevated Starmedia Entertainment’s presence at the expo.

Conclusion

This project showcases LA Set Construction’s ability to blend practical functionality with aesthetic design for high-profile trade show events. From precise fabrication and seamless integration to careful attention to safety and detail, we exceeded our client’s expectations, delivering a set that enhanced their presence at the NAR NXT Expo.
