We’re proud to announce that Xibeo Exhibit Solutions has been recognized by the Pacific Coast Business Times with the 2025 Spirit of Small Business Award—a powerful acknowledgment of our long-standing dedication to helping clients succeed on the trade show floor and beyond.
Putting People First—Since Day One
Since our founding in 2001, we’ve believed that delivering exceptional service isn’t just about exhibits—it’s about people. Our journey began in a garage, where Lauren Jayne and Theron Whitney started Xibeo with just a handful of clients and a vision to do things differently. Today, we continue to bring that same scrappy determination and client-first mentality to every project.
As highlighted in the article:
“People like to do face-to-face marketing,” said Whitney. “Because of that, trade shows aren’t going anywhere.”
Over the years, we’ve supported businesses of all sizes—startups, local firms, and global brands alike—helping them stretch budgets, reduce friction, and show up with confidence. From custom exhibits to rentals and refurbished builds, our goal has always been the same: make trade shows less stressful and more strategic.
Adapting Through Challenge & Change
The award also shines a light on our perseverance through the ups and downs of an ever-changing industry. During COVID, like so many others, we had to pivot quickly. Xibeo began offering smaller rental options and rethinking booth builds for a post-pandemic world. Flexibility and creativity became more than just buzzwords—they were survival strategies.
From labor shortages to shipping delays and rising costs, we’ve met each new obstacle with one guiding principle: How can we be of more value to our clients?
A Shared Win
This recognition is not just ours—it belongs to our incredible clients, dedicated team, and partners who’ve trusted us along the way. Your collaboration, creativity, and commitment continue to inspire the work we do every day.
As Lauren Jayne put it in the article:
“There’s been a lot of lows. It’s the getting up that counts.”
Here’s to continuing to get back up—and pushing the exhibit world forward with fresh ideas, smarter solutions, and the heart of a small business.
