    It's best to talk to the printer to find out what resolution they're going to print at, and work backwards from that. I usually go for 1/4 size at 400dpi, assuming the final, full size material is printed at 100dpi.

    Also if it's a trade booth, is it broken down into panels? If so, I'd recommend using indesign to set up each panel as a page at your calculated size. Then it's easy to arrange a spread to get all your artwork together, then export PDFs/EPSs etc as separate pages.
