As we approach 2025 we’re gearing up for another year of successful exhibitions and making sure your stand isn’t just present—it’s unforgettable.
So here’s our spin on what’s hot and trending, and how to make your stand the talk of the show:
Going green is no longer just a nice-to-have—it’s a must. Expect to see eco-friendly materials like reclaimed wood, recycled aluminium, and biodegradable fabrics. The twist? These sustainable designs are sleeker than ever, proving that sustainability doesn’t mean sacrificing style.
Flexibility is key, and modular stands are reigning supreme. These systems allow you to adapt layouts across multiple shows, keeping things fresh and budget-friendly. Customisable, reusable, and easy to transport—modular is the magic word for exhibitors looking to maximise ROI.
2025 is all about creating multi-sensory experiences that immerse visitors in your brand. Think VR, AR, and interactive touch screens that engage beyond sight and sound. By letting visitors explore your products in virtual worlds, you’ll leave them with an experience to remember.
Yes, less is more. Simple yet bold design elements—think monochromatic colours, clean lines, and strategic lighting—help brands stand out in a sea of overstimulating booths. The message? Refined elegance captures attention better than a crowded stand.
Bring the outdoors in! From living walls to potted plants and natural materials, biophilic design not only adds beauty but also brings a sense of calm to bustling exhibit floors. Plus, plants naturally pull people in—everyone loves a touch of green.
Personalisation is getting a high-tech upgrade. Data-driven insights and RFID tech can help tailor the visitor experience, showing them exactly what they’re interested in and making each person’s interaction feel unique. Goodbye, cookie-cutter stands; hello, bespoke experiences!
It’s not just about looking good in person; it’s about looking good online. Create photo-worthy installations, interactive displays, and branded hashtags to encourage visitors to snap and share. Because if it’s not on social media, did it even happen?
The days of boxed-in booths are over. Circular and open layouts are in, allowing for easy visitor flow and a more inviting space. These layouts also encourage longer engagement—after all, if you can’t find the exit right away, you might just stick around!
Lighting is no longer just functional; it’s transformational. LED walls, dynamic spotlights, and colour-changing effects can change the entire vibe of a stand at the touch of a button. Smart lighting creates an ambience and highlights key features, making your stand a glowing beacon.
The exhibition hustle can be exhausting, and a wellness space in your stand is a game-changer. Quiet nooks for recharging (both people and devices), water stations, and comfortable seating show visitors you care about their well-being—and keep them engaged longer.
This year, stands aren’t just stands- they’re brand experiences. Keep up with the current trends to ensure a memorable space.
Whatever your style, enjoy it. Happy exhibiting- we can’t wait to see you on the show floor!
