Ever wondered what makes a great custom display stand for an event or exhibition? We’re here to help! Being expert display stand builders with more than 40 years of experience in the events industry, GL events will guide you through your choice of event stand and share some of the tips of tricks that we've picked up along the way.
Exhibition stand options
With so many trade show stands to choose from, it’s easy to find one from our extensive GL events portfolio that will best suit your brand, the goal you have in mind for the particular event or show, as well as your specified budget.
Opt for the entry-level Shell Scheme stand which includes carpets, electrical services and the stand name, but is versatile enough to be upgraded to the equally cost-effective System Design stand, which could include specific furniture and décor, special lighting and graphics in the form of vinyl or fabric application. The Maxima stand also offers a more upmarket look and feel to your trade show display, based on our teams’ advice on the best finishes to suit your brand.
Our refreshing Eco-mod exhibition booths are made from recyclable materials and completely reusable with re-brandable elements, which balances out its cost. But if you’d really like to create a memorable brand experience, why not let GL events’ creative designers, expert stand builders and professional installers bring your brand vision to life with a custom exhibition stand. Elegant, cutting-edge design with high-end finishes, a custom stand doesn’t limit you in terms of design, shape and size.
