New Texas presence strengthens EXPO’s national reach and expands service capabilities across Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, San Antonio and beyond
DALLAS, TX – EXPO Convention Contractors, Inc. (EXPO), a leading national provider of general contracting, exhibit, fabrication and experiential event services, is proud to announce the expansion of its operations into Texas, marking another significant step in the company’s continued national growth.
With its primary Texas operation based in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, EXPO will use the new location as a strategic hub to support clients and events throughout the state, including Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, Austin, San Antonio and other key Texas markets.
The expansion strengthens EXPO’s ability to provide local and regional support throughout Texas while further connecting the company’s operations across the United States.
“Texas has been an important market for EXPO and our customers for years, and establishing a permanent presence here is a natural next step for our company,” said Rich Curran, CEO of EXPO Convention Contractors. “This isn’t about serving one city. It’s about building the infrastructure to better support our customers throughout Texas while strengthening EXPO’s ability to execute nationally.”
A Stronger Presence Across Texas
Texas is home to some of the country’s most important convention, corporate meeting, technology, energy, healthcare and experiential event markets.
EXPO’s Texas operation will provide a centralized base from which the company can support events throughout the state while providing customers with greater access to local resources, equipment and operational support.
From major conventions in Houston and Dallas–Fort Worth to corporate meetings and experiential programs in Austin and San Antonio, EXPO’s expanded presence gives the company greater flexibility to serve both existing and new customers throughout the region.
For EXPO customers operating nationally, the expansion also provides another important link within the company’s growing network of operations.
Texas Is Building for What’s Next
Texas cities are making historic investments in meetings and events. Dallas is replacing the Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center with a new $3.8 billion downtown convention center, expected to open in 2030. In Austin, a $1.6 billion redevelopment will expand the Austin Convention Center to roughly 620,000 square feet of rentable space, with reopening planned for 2029. And in Houston, the city has approved $2 billion in bonds to expand the George R. Brown Convention Center, starting with a new 700,000-square-foot building and 60,000-square-foot ballroom slated for completion in 2028.
Those projects will bring bigger shows, new events and more exhibitors to Texas, and EXPO intends to be ready. By establishing its Texas operation now, EXPO is building the local team, vendor relationships and venue knowledge its customers will count on as these new facilities come online.
One Partner, Coast to Coast
Texas joins EXPO’s established operations in Florida, California and Las Vegas, creating a connected national network that follows customers wherever their programs go. The Texas team will deliver EXPO’s full range of services, including general contracting, corporate exhibits, custom fabrication, graphics, rental solutions, exhibitor services and experiential event production.
“Our customers don’t think about their programs as individual cities, they think about their entire event portfolio,” Curran said. “Our goal is to build EXPO in the same way. Whether a customer is exhibiting in Miami, Orlando, Texas, Las Vegas or California, we want them to have one trusted partner with the resources and relationships to support them wherever they go.”
The expansion is part of EXPO’s long-term strategy to invest in markets that strengthen its national infrastructure while maintaining the personalized service and responsiveness that have defined the company since its founding.
“Growth for us isn’t simply about opening more locations,” Curran added. “It’s about putting our people and resources closer to our customers and creating a stronger organization nationally. Texas is an important part of that strategy.”
Beyond its growing U.S. footprint, EXPO also maintains operations in Medellín, Colombia, extending its reach into Latin America and the Caribbean and further strengthening its ability to support customers across the Americas.
