Abstract: A portable exhibit system including a graphic panel and collapsible frame is provided that overcomes the shortcoming associated with traditional display systems by being inexpensive, downwardly modular, and easily assembled and disassembled. The graphic panel includes a display surface having a pole pocket within which is inserted a connected set of poles that are also attached to one another by at least one resilient cord which aids in the collapsibility and portability of the graphic panel. The collapsible frame includes a set of base supports that are respectively connected to a set of support hubs, where the support hubs horizontally support a base support pole and each support hub vertically supports an upright pole. Each upright pole has a first end coupled to each support hub and a second end used to support the connected set of poles associated with the graphic panel.
