If you’re still using 24x36 foam core posters at your events… we need to talk.

Because there’s a better way—and once you see it, you won’t go back.

I’m talking about meter boards. Those tall, freestanding displays (often up to 90”) you see at conferences and expos.

I recently suggested them to a client for their event, and here’s what they told me afterward: they were a far superior way to showcase sponsor logos and mission content.

They’re right. And here’s why:

They actually get seen.​
Traditional foam core posters sit low, get blocked by people, and disappear into the room. Meter boards rise above the crowd—literally.

They elevate your sponsors.​
When logos are displayed vertically and at eye level, they feel more prominent, more intentional… more valuable.

They tell your story better.​
Instead of cramming everything onto a single poster, you can dedicate boards to your mission, impact, honorees, and sponsors—clean, clear, and compelling.

They instantly upgrade the look of your event.​
No redesigning your entire event needed. This one change makes your space feel more polished and professional.

Let’s talk cost (because I know you’re thinking it).​
Yes—meter boards are more expensive upfront. Think roughly $250 vs. $50 for a standard foam core poster. But here’s the part most people miss: you can fit significantly more content on each board, so you actually need fewer of them. And if you use them for mission and impact storytelling, they’re not one-and-done—you can reuse them again and again. The bang for your buck is real. Even better? This is a perfect opportunity to secure a printing sponsor to underwrite the cost and get visibility in the process.

Here’s the bottom line:

• If your signage isn’t working as hard as the rest of your event, it’s time to rethink it.
• Meter boards are a simple shift with a big return—in visibility, in sponsor satisfaction, and in overall event experience.
• “We’ve always done it this way” is expensive.

If you want help rethinking your event setup (without adding complexity), that’s exactly what we do. Give me a buzz and let's talk about your next event.

All the best,
