| Look | Photos and film graded to one reference | Two colour palettes on the same LinkedIn page |
| Delivery | One download link, one folder structure | Two links, two naming systems, two delivery times |
| Cost | Lower: shared travel to the stand, shared planning | Higher: two minimum fees, two planning overheads |

Verdict
Which to choose
An experienced crew is cheaper, faster and looks better. The exception is a very large event where a specialist video production company runs the stage and a photographer covers the floor, coordinated by the organiser. See trade show photography.
