TRADE SHOW MAESTRO
Frequently asked questions.
Does Genesis Exhibits record my personal and business information when logging in to use Trade Show Maestro?
No. Genesis Exhibits does not use this advanced custom tool to harvest email addresses and other User information for the purpose of soliciting business or any other reason.
Can I rely fully on Trade Show Maestro answers to make important business decisions?
Not recommended. As is with all search engine results and other AI Chatbots and Custom GPTs, all mission critical facts and figures generated by Trade Show Maestro are researched estimates only and should be verified prior to final decision making.
How is Trade Show Maestro different from using Google?
Trade Show Maestro provides expert, personalized guidance tailored to your specific trade show goals, audience, industry, and budget. Unlike a Google search, which returns a flood of generic information, vendor ads, and often outdated or conflicting advice, Maestro delivers real-world strategies grounded in decades of experience and industry best practices from sources like EDPA, IAEE, CEIR, Genesis, Apprupo, and other key organizations.
Where Google leaves you to interpret blog posts or promotional content, Maestro gives you clear, practical answers. You’ll receive recommendations for which trade shows to attend, how to design your booth using custom-modular systems, whether to rent or buy, and how to incorporate sustainable practices that align with the EDPA ESCA EIC Sustainability Guidance for Exhibition Stand Construction. You’ll also get direct integration advice for technologies like AR, VR, remote product demos, and touchscreen interactives.
Maestro can help you plan a complete RFP, build a realistic exhibit budget, or design a booth that aligns with your brand and performance goals, none of which Google is equipped to do. You won’t need to sift through conflicting opinions or sort out which advice applies to your situation. We do that for you.
In short, Trade Show Maestro gives you strategic answers, not just search results. Ask us your question—we’ll show you the difference immediately.

Can I trust Trade Show Maestro to create ready-to-build booth layouts and 3D renderings for me?
No. Trade Show Maestro is a creative planning tool that can effectively guide you through the initial design (concept) process however it is not meant to replace an exhibit design professional. It can generate and modify booth images quite well based on your detailed trade show marketing needs, specifications, requests for adjustment to specific elements-useful for initial, internal marketing strategy reviews and when communicating with a exhibit house prior to final estimates and fabrication.
After wrapping up my first Maestro chat, I started a new Maestro chat but the answer I received presented itself as a standard ChatGPT answer. Why?
When initiating a new Maestro “chat” (or question), be sure to choose "NEW CHAT” from the Maestro drop-down menu. If you select New Chat from the top right corner then you are leaving Maestro and your new conversation will be within the standard ChatGPT environment.
Can I use Trade Show Maestro to ask questions about non-trade show marketing questions.
Yes, but this is not recommended. Maestro is trained to draw from an advanced event industry body of knowledge, first and foremost. So, for example, it can provide a high-level overview on how to tune an automobile engine however it is not trained to step you through the process in great detail.
How does Trade Show Maestro differ from ChatGPT and other AI tools?
Trade Show Maestro is a purpose-built version of AI developed specifically for the U.S. trade show and experiential marketing industry. While general AI tools like ChatGPT provide broad, open-ended answers across countless topics, Maestro is focused entirely on helping exhibitors succeed at trade shows and other corporate events.
What makes Trade Show Maestro different is its specialization. It draws from decades of real-world experience from event industry legends such as Al Mercuro and Glenn Diehl, and the professional standards of Genesis Exhibits, Apprupo Tech Solutions, EDPA, IAEE, CEIR, and other top shelf organizations. That means the advice you receive is not only accurate, but also deeply informed by proven strategies, sustainability guidelines, inclusive design practices, and up-to-date industry trends.
Where general AI might give you abstract suggestions, Maestro helps you:
Select the right trade shows based on your business, audience, and goals
Configure custom and custom-modular booths leveraging advanced exhibit systems such as beMatrix and Classic Exhibits
Integrate technology like AR, VR, and remote demos via Apprupo Tech Solutions expertise
Apply sustainability practices aligned with EDPA ESCA EIC guidelines
Navigate logistics, budget planning, staffing, and performance tracking
Understand real cost structures, including exhibit space rental, show services, and exhibit fabrication
In short, Trade Show Maestro isn’t just a tool, it’s your strategic consultant, built specifically to remove the guesswork from exhibiting and help you make confident, measurable decisions. It doesn’t replace you. It empowers you.
