Wayfinding starts with the guest path
Most event sign lists should follow the guest path: arrival, parking, check-in, registration, sponsor areas, session rooms, restrooms, food and beverage, VIP areas, exits, and pickup zones. If the signs are planned in that order, it is easier to catch missing pieces before the deadline.
For Austin events, the right material depends on whether the sign is indoor, outdoor, temporary, reusable, freestanding, taped to glass, placed on an easel, mounted to a fence, or used on the floor.
Common event wayfinding pieces
- Parking, rideshare, shuttle, and pickup signs.
- Registration, check-in, badge pickup, and will-call signs.
- Room signs, session signs, schedule boards, and arrow signs.
- VIP, staff-only, sponsor, lounge, and green room signs.
- Restroom, exit, food, beverage, and merch signs.
- Floor decals, A-frame inserts, yard signs, banners, and foam boards.
What affects price and timing
Quantity, size, material, whether the signs are one-sided or two-sided, mounting needs, outdoor use, finishing, and delivery all affect production. A simple printed foam board is different from a double-sided outdoor sign, a banner, or a floor decal with laminate.
Rush help may be possible when the list is clear, the files are ready, and the materials are available. If the sign list is still changing, send the current draft anyway so Brandon can catch obvious gaps early.
What to send for a quote
Send the event date, venue, sign list, sizes, quantities, indoor/outdoor use, delivery or install needs, and artwork. If you only have a rough sign list, send that first and Brandon can help turn it into a clearer production list.

ACL weekend print planning
Building a print list for ACL weekend?
For ACL weekend, restaurants, hotels, sponsors, vendors, pop-ups, and after-parties often need more than one item. Brandon can help connect the pieces: banners, fence mesh, sponsor signs, table covers, menus, window graphics, directional signs, wristband pickup signs, VIP signs, step and repeats, staff shirts, and promo giveaways.
