About Xibeo
A family-owned exhibit house designing and building trade show booths for brands across the country since 2001.
Our Story
Xibeo started in 2001 when Lauren Jayne and Theron Whitney saw a gap in the trade show industry. Big exhibit houses were treating clients like account numbers. Smaller shops couldn’t handle the scale. We built Xibeo to do both. Handle the heaviest national show schedules and still pick up the phone when you call.
Twenty-five years later, we’ve designed and built booths for brands like AT&T, Hilton, Raytheon, Kaiser Permanente, Smucker’s, and Guess. You can see some of that work in our gallery. Some of those clients have been with us for over two decades. That’s not an accident. We deliver on time, the booth shows up looking like the rendering, and when something goes sideways at 2am the night before doors open, somebody on our team is already on it.
We do this work out of our 250 W Stanley Avenue facility in Ventura, California, where every booth is designed, fabricated, packed, and shipped under one roof.
Our Journey
Founded over two decades ago, Xibeo has grown from a small, passionate team into a leader in the exhibit and event industry. Our journey began with a simple mission: to provide businesses with creative, high-quality exhibit solutions. Over the years, we have expanded our services and capabilities, continuously pushing the boundaries of design and innovation. Our rich history is marked by a commitment to excellence and a track record of successful projects that have helped clients achieve remarkable results.
How We Work
At Xibeo, you work with one dedicated project manager from the initial concept through final teardown. The same person guiding your booth design is also managing your graphics, coordinating freight, overseeing installation, and handling dismantle. There are no layers of departments or constant handoffs, just one experienced point of contact who knows your project, your deadlines, and your team from start to finish. That is what turnkey exhibition management actually looks like in practice.
Everything is built and managed from our Ventura, California headquarters. Design, engineering, fabrication, graphics production, finishing, and crating all happen under one roof, allowing us to maintain tighter quality control, faster communication, and better production timelines. While many exhibit companies outsource large portions of the process, we keep everything centralized to make sure your custom exhibit build arrives exactly as approved and ready to perform on the show floor.
We also believe communication should be clear and transparent. Project timelines, revisions, logistics details, and show requirements are carefully tracked throughout the process so there are no surprises along the way. Whether your exhibit is headed to Las Vegas, Orlando, Chicago, or anywhere nationwide, our exhibit logistics team manages the details behind the scenes, including freight coordination, drayage, labor scheduling, and on-site supervision, so your team can stay focused on the event itself.
Our goal is simple: make exhibiting easier, more organized, and less stressful while delivering a booth that reflects your brand at the highest level.
Baba’s Feed Project
Nourishing Lives in Northern India
Baba’s Feed Project is a passion project from our co-founder and CEO Lauren Jayne. The initiative provides food kits to people in Northern India who are facing severe food insecurity. We support the project through Xibeo and we encourage anyone who’s interested to learn more about what they’re doing.
Make a Difference
Your support and contributions enable us to continue providing these life-saving food kits to incredibly food-insecure people in Northern India. Please visit BABA's SHOP to see how little it takes to feed a family for one month, three months, or even a whole year.
Supporting the LGBTQ+ Community
We believe in building an inclusive workplace and an inclusive industry. That commitment shows up in who we hire, who we partner with, and the causes we put our weight behind. We support LGBTQ+ initiatives through partnerships, sponsorships, and advocacy work that pushes for equality and acceptance. Your support helps us keep doing this.
A Safe Space for All
Xibeo is part of the Safe Space Alliance, a global network identifying and creating spaces where LGBTQI+ individuals feel welcomed and supported. As a recognized safe space, we hold ourselves accountable to building a respectful environment for everyone we work with. Clients, vendors, and our own team.
Streamlined Exhibit Logistics in 4 Simple Steps
Step 1
Contact and Design
We start with a conversation. What's the show, what's the booth size, what does the brand stand for, and what's worked or failed at past events. From there our design team puts together concept renderings that match your space and your brand.
Step 2
Approval and Production
Once you sign off on the design, we move into fabrication. Production typically runs eight to twelve weeks. You'll work with us on graphics during this stage. We need final artwork thirty days before the booth ships. If your timeline is shorter than that, ask about our express booth rental program.
Step 3
Quality Review
Two weeks before the show, we set the booth up in our Ventura facility for a full quality check. You get photos and video of the actual build before it ships. Around the same time, we lock in show forms, drayage, electrical, and labor scheduling.
Last Step
Shipping and Setup
The booth ships about a week before the show. Our crew is on site for any booth larger than a 20x20 to supervise install. We coordinate dismantle, return freight, and storage when the show wraps. You don't lift anything. The full exhibit logistics handoff is built into the project.

We design and build custom exhibit builds, double deck booths, modular trade show booths, portable booths, and custom exhibit rentals. We also create corporate environments for offices, lobbies, and showrooms.
How far in advance should I contact Xibeo before a show?
For a fully custom booth, four to six months before the show is ideal. Production typically runs eight to twelve weeks and we want time for design rounds and graphics approval. If your timeline is tight, ask about our express booth rental program, which can deliver in three to four weeks.
