For those who have no idea on how a day in an exhibition looks like. Hi 👋 here is a sneek peek into the glamour of Light+Building Frankfurt, Germany where Biownlight team was exhibiting their latest innovation. Infact what you do not see... warning... you should stop reading now... if you want to keep the ideal picture in your head...😅 ... is bruised and painful feet, tired eyes, dry throats from talking and in some cases sweaty clothes, cause you've been running a marathon in your 25 sq.m. stand 🤭 Not much of the glamour left right? But don't be fooled, exhibitions are events where challenges meet opportunities, and every person you meet can shape tomorrow's business success 🤝 From networking with industry giants to showcasing cutting-edge innovation, it's a whirlwind of exitement, overwhelm and opportunity 🚀 #businessgrowth #businessmotivation #biownlight #businessstrategy #businessstart

🌟 90 Years of ERCO: The development of our trade fair booths 🌟 Over nine decades, we have constantly faced new challenges and developed innovative lighting solutions! But it's not just our products that have evolved - our exhibition stands have also transformed. 🔙 Back then: simple, functional, and informative. Our initial exhibition stands featured basic structures, printed materials, and physical product displays. Personal conversations were at the heart of engaging with our visitors, emphasizing our commitment to partnerships and customer interaction. 💬 ✨ Today: Innovative, interactive, and sustainable. Our modern exhibition stands impress with design, digital presentations, and interactive experiences. Sustainability is always at the forefront – from eco-friendly materials to energy-efficient technologies. Even today, the exchange with our partners and customers takes center stage – their suggestions and feedback drive our innovations forward. This year marked the first time our customers could actively interact with and experience light firsthand at our exhibition booth, rather than simply discussing it. 🌍 🤝 Our journey has been characterized by continuous development and a pursuit of perfection. At our exhibition booths, visitors experience firsthand the tangible manifestation of this commitment. Yet, our journey is far from over! 🚀✨ #ERCO90 #exhibition #innovation #sustainability #networking

🚀 Exciting News! Edwards Chandler Connection hosts Reimagine the Future Day Expo! 🌐 At Edwards Chandler Connection, we believe in walking the talk, and that's exactly what we did during our recent internal Reimagine the Future Day Expo! Chandler Connection had a dynamic Tradeshow-like event featuring 6 vibrant booths, each representing a key strategy from our Mission and Vision Statement. Manned by fantastic members of our team, each booth was a gateway into the exciting world of our corporate goals for 2024. Our team had the incredible opportunity to mingle, learn, and engage with the strategies firsthand. From sustainability to innovation, each booth was a deep dive into how we plan to bring our vision to life in the coming year. We didn't stop there – we infused our mission into every corner of the expo with custom clothing, irresistible SWAG, delectable sweets, and so much more! We wanted everyone, from the ground up, to feel the pulse of our future initiatives. 🎉 The result? A resounding success! Our 'Reimagine the Future' Day Expo was not just an event; it was a celebration of our shared journey toward a brighter future. We will continue to foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and excitement. Here's to the future – let's make 2024 the best year yet! 🚀🌟 #Edwards #ChandlerConnection #ReimagineTheFuture #Innovation #MissionAndVision

Props to MOVE: Mobility Re-imagined for creating incredible energy around #transportation models, #technology and #sustainability. Great to see all the heavies from #automotive to #consulting to #ai showing up and showing out. But there is an elephant in the room that can't be avoided. Despite all the money and industry scale, the real solution for #urban #mobility can't be a car, even an #autonomous #electric car. The physics of time/space/capital don't work. The automotives, understandably, very much need to be part of any "#futurecity" model. The rub is the enormous economic friction between the reality of what that means (much smaller devices, much lower prices, much more efficient utilization rates per device) and how automotives currently make money (big devices, high prices, very low utilization rates). For the CEO/board of any big auto company, there is a huge gap between what he/she knows must be created for the long term (transform the business and business model) vs. what he/she can afford to do in the short term (keep Wall Street happy by delivering earnings -- and staying in the CEO chair). Practically speaking, the only viable way to solve the riddle is through corporate #VC. Keep the future-state work out of the business P&L and cash flow while concurrently controlling, managing and staking a claim to the future-state.

At nearly every event, there are last minute changes. At innoVia, we’re experts at navigating them. We know how to expect the unexpected and turn a challenge into a seamless experience. 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗢𝘂𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲? 𝗡𝗼 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺. When the entire City of Copenhagen lost power during a major event, we kept the energy alive—literally. With emergency lighting in the General Session and a naturally lit reception, the event continued without missing a beat. 𝗦𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗲? 𝗪𝗲’𝘃𝗲 𝗚𝗼𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱. When a key participant fell ill after arriving at the venue, we set up a video conference feed to their hotel room. They didn’t miss a moment, and neither did the event. 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁? 𝗩𝗶𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝗩𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹. When a presenter’s flight was canceled, we swiftly pivoted to bring them in virtually, ensuring the hybrid meeting proceeded as planned. 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝘁-𝗠𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗕𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲? 𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗢𝗻 𝗜𝘁. Just last week, a client updated their branding right before an event. Everything from custom scenic elements to printed materials were adjusted to align with their new look. 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼 𝗧𝗶𝗽: Always have a Plan B, extra equipment ready, and team members you can rely on for help in a pinch. We’re ready for whatever comes our way because for us, the show must always go on! #SummerSeries #EventPlanning #EventManagement #innoVia #TipsAndTricks #CorporateEvents #LastMinute #EventProfs

Driving momentum and productivity: #EuroBLECH2024 opens in #Hanover From 22 to 25 October, the international sheet metal working industry will meet in Hanover for the 27th edition of #EuroBLECH – the world’s largest showcase for live machinery and technical breakthroughs in this sector. Themed ‘The Power of Productivity’, this year’s event features nearly 1,300 exhibitors from 40 nations on 160,000sqm gross space across nine halls. An engaging event programme of expert talks, guided tours, themed trails and innovation awards offers extra opportunities for knowledge-building and networking.

The four-day event will feature thousands of exhibits in 15 technology sectors and is expected to attract an even greater number of visitors from international markets. EuroBLECH’s growing global reach is mirrored in the exhibitor bookings, with 66% of suppliers coming from outside Germany. Leading exhibitor countries include Germany, Italy, Turkey, China, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Poland, France, and the USA. Significant stand space growth has been recorded by companies from Sweden, Austria, Portugal, and major Asian economies, with India's exhibition space more than doubling since the 2022 edition.

Meanwhile, organisers are recycling carpets, reducing printing, and tabling such events as somehow eco-friendly. Here at Telepresent we're on a mission to change all that. Attending events online is hugely more productive, saves a massive amount of time and expense, and is much more environmentally responsible. It's easier for speakers, great for exhibitors and sponsors (if you do it right!), more inclusive, more accessible, and much more cost-effective. That's a pretty big list of plusses. We really can deliver amazing in-person events online with pretty much all the sessions, formats and networking you get at a real-world one. So before expecting people to travel, stay over, and generally blow their expenses budget attending your event, do everyone (and the planet) a favour. Properly consider holding your event online. Telepresence is not a second-best option. It's the sensible one. https://lnkd.in/eweQuMye #VirtualEvents #Telepresent #EventProfs #Expo #Environment

Sustainable exhibition stand design: Berlin-based IT service provider syspro started 4 years ago with a modular exhibition stand from Modulap with 16 sqm stand space. Since then, syspro and the Berlin-based agency sense:ability have continuously expanded the stand. All elements are being re-used and re-combined depending on the required stand layout. At this year's EUROCIS 2024, syspro and the RFID Network presented a multi-functional, multimedia brand space on a stand area of 144 sqm, set up much faster than comparable exhibition stands, with an integrated transport system and without avoidable waste. This is how syspro delivers impressive trade show presentations - saving time, money and valuable resources.
