Claim:
A system for tool-free assembly of a multi-part tradeshow display, the system comprising: a pair of vertical members each having a channel of a first width and retaining flanges of a second width; and a display panel surrounded by a rigid frame and an attachment mechanism consisting of a first attachment head on a first side of the rigid frame and a second attachment head on a second side of the rigid frame, wherein the first attachment head and the second attachment head each have a head with a diameter between the first width and the second width and a shaft having a diameter less than the second width, wherein the retaining flanges of each of the pair of vertical members separate from one another about an intermediate point along the length thereof to form an opening to receive one of the attachment heads, wherein the opening has parallel sides and an end shape that urges an attachment mechanism into a centered position in the channel as the attachment mechanism slides within the channel and axially along a corresponding one of the pair of vertical members.
