Stalls for every sector

Why the sector changes the stand

We publish pages for 15 sectors because the hard part of an exhibition stand is almost never the aesthetic — it is the constraint the sector imposes. A vehicle weighing a couple of tonnes has to be craned or driven onto a platform that will not deflect. A jewellery showcase has to be secure and lit without glare. A tasting counter needs water, drainage and somewhere to wash up. A machine tool needs a floor that takes the load and a power supply that will run it.

Those constraints come first, and the design follows from solving them. A stand that looks superb and cannot take the exhibit is a failure; a stand that handles the exhibit well and looks ordinary is merely a missed opportunity. Starting from the constraint is what makes the difference between the two.

Each industry page sets out the same things: a two-paragraph opener on what makes the sector difficult, the specific challenges, the stand features buyers in that sector expect to find, how the floor area is usually divided, the materials and finishes that suit the work, any regulatory or organiser constraint worth stating plainly, and what the stand has to achieve commercially. All 31 services are available to every sector.

The 15 sectors

The table pairs each sector with the shows we build stands for and the one-line summary of what the stand has to do. Confirm the current edition, hall and dates with the organiser before planning a build — halls and dates move between editions.

What every sector shares

Underneath the sector differences, the same handful of things decide whether a stand works. They are worth checking against any concept, in any industry, before it is approved.

They are also the things that get dropped when a project runs late. Storage becomes a curtain, the lighting plan becomes whatever the hall provides, and the seating disappears because the floor area was needed for one more display unit. None of those decisions looks serious on a drawing and all of them are visible by the second morning of the show.

How to use these pages

Read your sector page first, then the service page for the structure you need, then the city or venue page for the hall you are going into. In that order the constraints arrive before the design decisions, which is the order that avoids rework.

If you exhibit in more than one sector — a components manufacturer selling into both automobile and engineering shows, say — read both pages and design for the more demanding of the two. The stand that handles a machine tool will handle a component display; the reverse is not true, and discovering that at the hall is expensive.
