Blog

Hello, welcome to our blog. Yes, it's true, the title is perhaps a bit exaggerated... or maybe not... If you have experienced the assembly of stands at a fair, you know that it is a stressful and risky activity. Taking a false step at a fair can mean the loss of your health, your job or a lot of money for the company. In this blog you will find resources that will help you understand its dynamics and its actors. Only in this way can you make the most appropriate decisions when setting up your stand, either on your own or by controlling your supplier.

But here we are not only talking about calamities that happen at fair stands and how to avoid them (the truth is that we talk about this a lot). It is also a space to see the new trends in stand design, materials and construction techniques. I hope you find it very useful, and if so, please help me by sharing it 🙂

Unilever hip stand

A successful sustainable stand for Unilever at HIP 2024

Unilever has opted for sustainability at HIP 2024 and has done so with the help of Staff Global, for whom we have built the project in one of the most relevant fairs in the sector. Together with Expofactory we have managed a complex stand in terms of its materials, since the premise of a low carbon footprint has affected each of its materials and processes. The suspended aerial frieze has been made of printed reboard cardboard, while the structure of the stand has been made using the VISUAND tensioned textile system, a material with which we continually work in our company. We hope to continue building projects of this type, not only because of the pride it represents to have successfully carried it out for a firm like Unilever but also because of the commitment to sustainability, which has been a seal of Vissual Events for some years now.

An exciting showdown in the exhibition ring Welcome, fair and exhibition lovers! Today we have a unique confrontation for you.

In this exciting post, we are going to explore both types of stands, their strengths and weaknesses, and how they can help you leave an unforgettable impression at your next trade show or exhibition.
