An exhibition is more than just an event, it’s often a multi-partner experience that may be open to the public or a vast, but selected audience. Either way, an exhibition has the chance to become a real touchstone in the cultural life of your industry or interest, and it’s no wonder why so many people focus on investing in this each year.
When so many people could be in attendance of this event, it’s wise to consider the particular staging, framing and setup you need to carefully and safely invite individuals in such number. For that, you might consider renovating or even constructing a new space to help handle the strain and provide your attendees and guests the dignity and comfort they deserve.
In this post, we’ll discuss three essential tips for renovating an event exhibition space. With these principles to follow, you can then move on with your own creative insight and work with the contracts in achieving the best result. Without further ado, let’s consider that approach:
Manage Traffic Flow
Ultimately, every event space (and the planners who curate them) will need to pay attention to the free movement of people, or direct them through safe, well-considered routes. That might involve installing commercial railings on a newly accessible floor, and completely removing fall hazards. It might also require robust signage, doors that can be shut or locked without limiting fire evacuation safety, and putting queue measures in place to ensure a more robust outcome.
Amenities For Presentation
Having the right setup for presentations is crucial to ensure businesses want to present. That might involve booth spaces for temporary pop-up presentations or demonstration areas, or it might mean renovating a lecture space into a theatre, allowing for easier talks and keynotes. You can also invest in smart display technologies that provide businesses with a secure screen for sending their messages further. You might also implement a more robust meeting or booking system, allowing companies to book certain amenities well in advance without schedules clashing. This way, they can also drum up support for the event and welcome new people into the environment, allowing you to benefit from word-of-mouth support.
Lighting For Both Direction & Focus
Choosing the right lighting is important to guide attendees and highlight important areas being used. It’s not just about traffic flow, but delineating which areas of the building are appropriate to occupy. You can use lighting to direct people where to go and draw attention to key exhibits or presentations – including backlighting signs and welcoming spaces. Ensure that the venue is well-lit overall for safety and visibility too, as this also helps security keep careful watch over public events. This helps you contain a welcoming space while also guaranteeing the safety of everyone involved. Of course, there’s some room to maneuver here, as harsh overhead lighting is perhaps better when dimmed in the evening, combined with soft lighting that provides the ambient glow you’re looking for.
With this advice, you’re certain to renovate your event exhibition space and enjoy many great years of hosting.
