“So what happens to all this carpet now?” I asked a stand fitter at Manchester Central. “It gets thrown away, I think.” He said back, as he packed away. “Can I take it?” I asked, “Go for your life mate”. If you’ve ever been behind the scenes of a large exhibition, it’s quite something to […]
Lego has always been an inspiration to me. I can still vividly remember those 70s and 80s beige (everything was a variant of brown in those days) plastic boxes that I kept all the bricks in. The hours and hours spent making structures. From the basic bricks to the made-up stories with the little yellow […]

I’ve never been one for nostalgia and looking to the past. The idea that your best days were 20 years ago seems so strange to me. But like you, I’ve had more time on my hands over the last couple of months. As the events industry started to close in February due to COVID-19, 45 […]
Picking appropriate staff for the event and the audience is essential. Many exhibitors use either a “hook” (someone or something who attracts people to your stand), or the “spotter” (who approaches people and brings them to the stand).

You’ll have some on your desk right now. You won’t remember where you got it or won’t have any idea what that company does. It could be even worse, the branded cap! It doesn’t fit, was made a by a 7-year-old Vietnamese girl and has some app company logo on the front, that has already […]
Carl Jung stated that “colours are the mother tongue of the subconscious.” Colour plays a prominent role in our lives. They influence our thinking, inspire our decision making and impact our moods and emotions. From causing changes to changing reactions, colours are very powerful. Depending on our interpretations, they can be used both positively and […]
As the old saying goes, ‘It’s not the size, it’s what you do with it’. However, for the vast majority of us when it comes to exhibiting, the size of the stand comes down to budget. It can a big mistake to get a big stand or shell scheme with very basic graphics and lots […]
If you spend any time at the end of a corporate event, you’ll notice how much waste and plastic is left behind. A lot of branding and printing is very expensive, yet is left behind the minute the event ends. Can the answer be to upcycle? As part of our commitment sustainability and an eco-friendly […]
