We've been using thumb tacks duct-taped to the backs of the panels with the points sticking out. You simply press the panel into the wall; the points of the tacks penetrate and hold. There is fabric wall paper on many of our temporary exhibit walls, so no holes show. On painted drywall, you only have the small holes made by the tacks to fix when changing exhibits.

I'm sure this depends on what kind of wall surface you have and how much repair you can/will do after a show, but here's what we do: Take small scrap squares of foamboard and staple them to the wall in each approximate corner of your label, then hot glue the label to those squares (the hot glue is handy in that it takes a few seconds to set up because this gives you time to level the label). When you remove the labels, you will have eight tiny holes in the wall to fill in with paint (unless you have a cloth covered wall, then you're set with no repair). The hot glue is very durable as far as the labels not falling off, and we have found the holes to be an easier fix than a chunk of paint being stripped off by glue.
