  • From One DOS-Based Laptop to the Industry’s Most Trusted Platform

    GoShow was born on the trade show floor—with boots on the ground and a vision for a better way. Here’s how we built a platform that powers the next generation of show management.

It Started with a Problem—and a Mission to Fix It

In 2011, GoShow founder Darren Green was consulting for a General Service Contractor whose entire show operation ran off a single, outdated laptop. No backups. No connectivity. One glitch, and the entire event could unravel.
​
The problem wasn’t just the tech—it was the industry. Trade shows were being managed with a patchwork of spreadsheets, siloed software, and way too much stress.
​
Darren didn’t just see an opportunity. He felt a responsibility.
​
That’s when the first version of GoShow was born.
2012 – Official Launch at ESCA

GoShow debuts at the Exhibition Services & Contractors Association show, offering a new solution built specifically for GSCs.

2013–2016 – Rapid Adoption & Module Expansion

As demand grew, so did the platform. We added freight tracking, billing automation, graphics workflows, and the foundation for today’s modular architecture.

2017 – OnDock Launches

OnDock redefined freight management for events, with barcode scanning, mobile manifests, and digital proof of delivery—all synced to GoShow’s core.

2020 – Pandemic & Full Platform Rebuild

With live events on hold, we used the downtime to rebuild GoShow from the ground up—simplifying the UI, modernizing the tech stack, and aligning every module with client feedback.

2021 – GoShow 2.0 Relaunches

Lean, fast, and laser-focused on real-world problems, the new GoShow platform hit the market and re-energized our mission.

2022–2024 – Product Innovation Accelerates

We partnered with our clients to lay the foundation for our newest products: Nexus Exhibitor Portal and a robust Inventory Management system—all fully integrated and purpose-built for the floor.

2025 – Unified Platform and Brand Evolution

GoShow platforms are merged into a single, seamless experience—reinforcing our position as the only end-to-end solution built for the trade show industry.

More Than Software—A Shift in How Shows Get Done

GoShow didn’t just digitize the trade show industry, it helped evolve it. From eliminating manual freight logs to empowering exhibitors with self-service portals, we’ve been quietly transforming how shows are produced behind the scenes. Our clients report fewer errors, faster billing, stronger communication, and leaner show-day operations.

But for us, the real win? Giving every department—creative, logistics, production, exhibitor services—the tools they need to do their best work, together.
