Company Description: Condit Exhibits is a custom exhibit design and fabrication company specializing in creating memorable experiential spaces for tradeshows and other events. Celebrating their 80th year in business in 2025, Condit has built a reputation for delivering high-quality, tailored solutions that align with clients' brand visions and event marketing goals. Their expertise covers a wide range of industries, including food/beverage, technology, healthcare, and manufacturing. By blending design innovation with advanced engineering, each Condit project is not only visually striking but also durable.
Founded in 1945 as Denver's first graphic design firm, Bill Condit took advantage of the post-World War II economic boom to expand the agency's offerings beyond traditional advertising services. And by the 1960s and 70s, Condit had become a go-to partner for tradeshows and exhibitions, helping businesses make a lasting impact at events. Condit's success continued with the rise of experiential marketing in the 1990s, creating a recipe blending cutting-edge design with storytelling, physical construction, technology, branding, and interpersonal communication.
Weathering the recessions of 2001, 2008, and COVID through strong leadership from CEO Mike McGowan, President Jenny Koehn, former Creative Director Kevin Trainor, and former Director of Operations Richard Raedeke, Condit has become more agile and adaptable than ever. Supported by a secondary manufacturing and warehousing facility in Chicago since 2019, Condit has an expanded geographic footprint as well as increased competencies in supporting large-scale, complex exhibits in key vertical markets. A diverse portfolio of projects like museum exhibitions, corporate installations, temporary structures, and custom millwork further bolster their bottom line and book of business.
The Condit of today is focused on the value they add to their clients' event marketing programs through collaborative exhibit design, high-quality craftsmanship, responsive account management, strategic insight, and future-proofing. Looking toward sustainability, Condit prioritizes reducing waste and resource consumption. Their clients can choose from eco-friendly options like renewable materials, modular components for reuse, and innovative designs that minimize waste. They incorporate locally sourced and sustainable materials and collaborate with vendors known for their environmental focus while recycling everything from acrylic and wood to metal and carpet. Their green facilities boast low water consumption and paper usage as well as eco-friendly features like electrical vehicle charging stations and solar panels.
As an organization, Condit is dedicated to cultivating the next generation of young professionals in the exhibitions and events industry. Through collaborations with local high schools, colleges, and trade programs, Condit introduces young talent to the diverse opportunities within event marketing. By hosting site visits, mentoring students, offering internships, and participating in career fairs, they engage both creative and technical individuals, from designers and engineers to machinists and wood/metal-workers while supporting industry-wide workforce development initiatives.
Key features of Condit's internal culture include skiing and other outdoor activities, group cookouts and happy hours, dog-friendly office spaces, and a ridiculously competitive Halloween costume contest that dates back to the founders.
