Raleigh Projector Rentals — Laser, Short Throw & Movie Projectors for Trade Shows & Events — Raleigh Trade Show & Corporate Inventory
Raleigh is the capital of North Carolina and the anchor of the Research Triangle — the technology and life sciences corridor connecting Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill. Research Triangle Park (RTP) is one of the largest research parks in the United States, housing the North American headquarters of IBM, Cisco, Lenovo (US HQ), Red Hat, Pendo, and hundreds of life sciences companies. The Atlantic Union Bank Convention Center (formerly Raleigh Convention Center, renamed 2026), located at 500 S Salisbury St in downtown Raleigh, spans 500,000 square feet including a 150,000 sq ft exhibit hall and a 32,000 sq ft ballroom — and is currently undergoing a major expansion with an adjacent 600-room Omni Hotel (groundbreaking February 2026) that will significantly increase downtown Raleigh's convention capacity. Key Raleigh corporate anchors include Red Hat (open source, HQ), SAS Institute (analytics software, HQ), Lenovo (US HQ in Morrisville), IBM RTP, Cisco RTP, Bandwidth (HQ), Pendo (HQ), and a broad Research Triangle Park life sciences and pharmaceutical technology sector. All Things Open — the largest open source and technology conference on the US East Coast — is held annually in Raleigh at the Atlantic Union Bank Convention Center in October.

Outdoor Cinema — Fayetteville Street & NC State
Outdoor movie projectors from 10,000 to 20,000+ lumens with inflatable cinema screens for Fayetteville Street outdoor events, NC State University outdoor cinema nights, and Research Triangle Park corporate outdoor screenings — Raleigh's growing outdoor entertainment culture and warm North Carolina summers make outdoor cinema events popular.
All Things Open AI & Workshop Deep Dives

IBM & SAS Institute RTP Training Rooms
Epson 2250U and PT-VZ580U for IBM Research Triangle Park and SAS Institute corporate training room and executive boardroom projection — quiet operation for day-long analytics and enterprise technology training sessions.
Short Throw Projector Rentals — Raleigh
Short throw and ultra-short throw projectors solve the most common Raleigh event projection challenges — limited floor space at Atlantic Union Bank Convention Center exhibitor booths during All Things Open and GalaxyCon, low ceilings in Raleigh Marriott City Center breakout rooms, and confined IBM and SAS Institute training rooms across Research Triangle Park where a standard throw projector would require positioning in the audience area.
