Concept to install. One team.

ITW handles every phase of an exhibit project. All capabilities, one contract: strategy, exhibit design and fabrication, technology, content, install, and post-launch refresh. Project orchestration runs across all of them.

The whole arc, under one roof

We design and build exhibits. Most shops can deliver one piece of that work. We deliver the whole arc, from the first sketch through installation. The full how and why of that model lives on the About page.

Project orchestration

Project orchestration

Every engagement gets a dedicated project manager matched to the build, with senior leadership oversight from kickoff through final sign-off. Schedule, budget, design, technology, and the production network all run under one contract.

Strategy and concepting

Strategy and concepting

Before there's a drawing, there's a question. Skip those questions and the design phase pays for it. Vague goals, wrong audience, a story that doesn't carry, technology that doesn't fit. We work through them up front. You walk out with a written brief, concept sketches and mood boards, bubble diagrams, floor plans, and a master plan.

Exhibit design

Exhibit design

Spatial layout, narrative flow, materials, lighting, look and feel. We translate the brief into an exhibit that holds together aesthetically and operationally, at any scale. The people leading your design have done this work before, at the scale you're operating at.

Content and copywriting

Content and copywriting

Reader rails, panel copy, audio scripts, video voiceover, label text. The interpretive layer that turns objects into stories. Written in-house alongside the design, not handed off to a third-party content vendor after the fact.

Interactive technology

Interactive technology

Touchscreens, projection walls, RFID, show-control automation. Built in-house by our technology integration team, alongside the exhibit it lives in. The interactive layer ships ready, tested, and supported.

Fabrication and print

Fabrication and print

A curated network of specialist shops, matched to each project. Foam carvers, metal workers, scenic painters, precision lighting, print houses. We pick the right partner for the build instead of forcing every project through one factory.

Installation

Installation

Crews on the ground, on schedule, with the technology powered up and the displays aligned. We run install from logistics through final sign-off across the US and Canada.

Refresh and repair

Refresh and repair

Most exhibits live for years. The content needs to evolve, and things need fixing. We swap reader rails on fabricated exhibits, update displays on touchscreen-based ones, and fly techs out for on-site repairs when something breaks.

Two ways we work

Cultural institutions

If you're a cultural institution issuing an RFP

You have a layout, a brief, and a budget. Hand us the RFP and we run the project end to end: concept refinement, design, content, technology, fabrication, install, and the post-launch updates. One team, one contract, one timeline.

Agencies

If you're an agency that needs execution

You've already done the design and the strategy. You need a partner who can fabricate, install, and run the technology without redesigning your work. We pick the right specialist shop for the build, run the install, and own the technology end of it. We move at agency timelines.
