Costs vary based on stand size, customisation level, materials, lighting, AV equipment, graphics, logistics and installation. After understanding your goals and constraints, we provide transparent, itemised quotations with options to suit different budgets.

We believe in clear pricing. While our stand design and build costs are transparent, venues often charge separate fees for services such as electrical connections, internet, rigging, furniture rental or carpet. We highlight any venue-specific costs early so there are no surprises.

Attracting visitors involves a mix of engaging design, thoughtful layout, interactive elements and proactive staff engagement. Eye-catching visuals, product demos, clear branding and promotional activities all help draw traffic and keep people at your stand longer.
