Onboarding is the whole job
Each co-exhibitor needs the same twelve things submitted by the same dates — company details, graphics, staff names, freight, electrical, insurance, risk assessment. Chased individually, tracked centrally.
Many exhibitors, one deadline set

The format
A pavilion puts many small exhibitors under one roof and one deadline set. Left alone, twenty companies each discover the rigging deadline separately and a week too late.
We run it as one programme: co-exhibitor onboarding with a dated checklist per company, a shared build with individual identity inside it, common hospitality and a joint buyer programme that no single participant could have run alone.
How we plan it
Shared structure, individual identity
A pavilion should read as one presence at forty metres and as distinct companies at four. That is a design problem, and it is solved in the layout rather than in the graphics.
Common hospitality earns the footfall
A shared meeting area, a coffee point and a small stage give every co-exhibitor something they could not afford individually, and give the pavilion a reason for visitors to stop.
A joint buyer programme
Hosted buyers matched across the whole pavilion, with a meeting diary that fills toward each buyer’s quota. Small exhibitors get meetings they would never have secured on their own.
Where it goes wrong
What we look for first on this format.
Every format has a small set of recurring failures. None of them are mysterious; they are just the things that get planned last and matter most.

Co-exhibitors who submit nothing until the final week
- 02
Graphics supplied at the wrong resolution or colour profile
- 03
Freight arriving per company instead of consolidated

Sectors that run this
Same format, different rules.
ENREnergy & InfrastructureTechnical audiences, remote sites, heavy exhibition presence and a safety regime that is not negotiable.
MFGManufacturing & IndustrialDistribution networks, machinery on the floor and international trade fairs where the sector’s orders are actually written.
MEDHealthcare & Medical DevicesClinical audiences, hands-on training with real equipment, and compliance obligations that sit alongside a commercial objective.
RTLRetail & Consumer BrandsPresentation-led events where the guest experience is the brand, and where the buying calendar leaves very little room to move.Other formats
