CHOC Trade Show Booth · Orange County Convention Center
The Booth With the Bear: CHOC’s Trade Show Magic
Florida Event Decor built a custom trade show booth for the Children’s Hospital of Orange County at the Orange County Convention Center, with the CHOC teddy bear mascot floating above, branding everywhere you looked, and a custom claw machine tying it all together.
A Booth That Brought Warmth, Heart, and Personality
At Florida Event Decor, trade show booths are kind of our thing. They come naturally to us, and this time, we’re excited to spotlight a booth that brought warmth, heart, and a whole lot of personality to the show floor. Designed for the Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC), this custom build made its mark at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando.
With CHOC’s teddy bear mascot floating above and branding everywhere you looked, the booth perfectly mixed fun and purpose. A custom claw machine tied it all together: playful, engaging, and on-brand for CHOC’s mission.
Built Custom for CHOC
What sets Florida Event Decor apart is our ability to design fully custom environments that speak directly to your brand. This booth for CHOC is a perfect example: an interactive space built to catch attention and bring in foot traffic.
The Structure
The booth measured 16 feet wide by 10 feet tall, anchored by a strong overhead header and two sleek vertical panels that framed the space and added height and presence.
A branded crossbeam stretched across the entire width, ensuring the CHOC logo was clearly visible across the show floor. Beneath it, natural wood-style flooring added warmth and polish, inviting visitors in with a clean, professional finish.
According to color psychology, blue tones evoke calm, cleanliness, and trust, and this booth embraced those qualities throughout its design.
Strategic Zones That Kept People Moving
The booth layout was intentionally designed for flow and engagement. Here’s how each area worked together.
Reception and Interaction Zone
A curved front desk, wrapped in CHOC branding, greeted attendees as they entered the space. It served as both a welcome point and a soft guide deeper into the booth.
At the center of the booth was a lounge space with comfortable, modern chairs. It created a relaxed setting for one-on-one conversations and casual presentations, encouraging visitors to linger and engage.
Claw Machine Activation
A custom-branded claw machine, placed near the edge of the booth, became an instant crowd-pleaser. It brought fun, interaction, and brand awareness together, ideal for giveaways and audience engagement.
Info Tower and Messaging Panel
A freestanding vertical kiosk displayed rotating branded panels, perfect for QR codes, calls-to-action, and campaign highlights. Visible from multiple angles, it provided a compact yet powerful storytelling tool.
Media Wall and Hidden Storage
One of the structural panels included a 48” screen display, ideal for video loops, brand messages, or product explainers. A hidden storage compartment kept clutter out of sight, maintaining a polished look.
Applying the Brand Graphics
CHOC’s artwork was applied across high-quality Sintra panels and SEG fabric graphics, ensuring consistency and impact throughout. Each panel was clearly labeled for easy setup and a smooth install.
The branding system created a unified visual language that aligned perfectly with CHOC’s mission, tone, and color story. Their motto, “Long Live Childhood,” was proudly displayed and echoed across the booth.
Smart Design with Real Functionality
The booth was a fully custom structure featuring branded panels, a curved counter, and CHOC’s iconic bear, built to look good and perform on the show floor.
Modular components made transport and reassembly simple
Prepped power zones supported lighting, screens, and interactive elements
Open layout supported smooth traffic flow and natural engagement
Rigging potential made it easy to suspend overhead visuals, like CHOC’s iconic bear mascot
Looking Ahead
This CHOC installation brought together bold branding, interactive features, and meaningful experiences, all within a setup that worked just as hard as the team behind it.
We proudly serve top Florida venues including the Orange County Convention Center, Gaylord Palms, and Rosen Shingle Creek.
