Our Process

Exponent is a specialist in trade show booth design. Our objective from the start of the design process is to create three-dimensional visuals, showcasing a booth concept that is not only visually pleasing but accomplishes a specific purpose.

The trade show booth is where your concept comes to life, so we arrange a wide array of different booth sizes that you can choose from.

Once you are satisfied with the size, we will then design it to showcase your product or business in the best possible way, with the use of all of the graphics, imagery, and the best in technology that our in-house experts bring to the table.

High-quality booth construction

Our booths are constructed using only the finest quality materials, which are built to withstand the exhibiting rigor through repeated use. The booth is created to suit your specific requirement and can be anything from a large structural design to a lightweight modular system. Our practical construction takes into account shipping, storage, and installation requirements so that it weighs appropriately.

Customization for unique exhibit

Why should brands compromise on style and design because of lack of innovation and opportunity by exhibit rental companies? We at Exponents believe that all brandsare unique, and yours is one in a million. Do not fit in, when you can stand out! Customize your booth to the core and make every bit of your trade show experience count! From booth fabrication (that helps shape up a booth with exacting measurements and precise brand specs for a look that’s truly personalized) to shape and structures alignment, we tailor to it all. Choose from a wide range of materials and themes to suit your particular branding or tweak it as per your whims!

Best in class materials

We print out all of the graphics using top-quality inkjet technology so that your visuals stand out among the crowd. These images are guaranteed to last throughout the event time so that you do not have to worry about wear and tear, and they will be installed with the finesse that you would expect from the best. Our in-house capabilities can help you achieve best-in-class graphics mounted on the best materials for that beautiful, durable and scratch-free finish.

Bringing your brand to life

Let our creativity be the true expression of the value your product is going to bring to the lives of your customers. Whether it is vibrant colors or a premium finish, we will paint your booth with those picture-perfect visuals.

Sticking to timelines

When we have our first discussion with you, our project manager will take into account the scope of the work, as well as the timelines for each milestone right up until after the event has taken place. All of these timelines will be vetted by you so that you are always in control, while we accept all accountability as any respectable project manager should.

Process lifecycle

Any good project has a definite project lifecycle, with the start of the project and the end of it defined according to the project requirements. That is why we take ownership of the entire process and maintain the lifecycle so that there is the proper assessment of risks and the right implementation of procedures done at every step of the event.

Setting up shop

Our experts will ensure that the trade show is set up exactly as visualized in the concept document. All of the materials, graphics, and equipment, as well as furniture for the display, will be set up exactly as promised so that there is never any last-minute running around required. All you need to do is focus on your product and leave the rest to us.

Taking it all down

We know that the trade show doesn’t just end with the event. There is always dismantling required and careful handling of all of the equipment and products used, as per the specifications of the exhibition center. This is why our logistics team will expertly manage it all so that you can just focus on presenting your business to the world, while we sweat the rest. If you would like to take a closer look at how we will handle logistics for your event, please contact us or take a look at our brochure.

Planning & Preparation

Before we move the setup to the actual site, we can give you a dry run at our workshop. If you want to watch the idea shape up at every stage, we can send you visuals of the making and take your input every step of the way. And on the d-day, our team will nail every piece in its place before handing over a perfectly assembled booth to you. Whether it is a modular design or a custom made, our on-site supervisor will make sure that everything is down pat so that all you need to do is to put on a great show! And the team will be around the corner. So give us a shout and we will help you pull it down too, at the end of the event
