Trade show exhibit trends for 2023
On a trade show floor where thousands of attendees are being enticed by an unimaginable array of bells and whistles, how do you break through the clutter to attract them to your tradeshow exhibit? Here are the winning ways that are trending 2023:
Build an Experience: Light It Up and Tech It Up! Companies are adding technology to help both them and their products shine. LED lighting and monitors dominate booths and exhibits everywhere. Many companies leverage screens to create virtual and augmented reality (VR and AR) experiences, which can be accomplished cost-effectively.
Focus on the Senses: Similar to the Disney experience, the more senses you can engage in your tradeshow exhibit design the better. Lighting and visual designs are a start.
Game On: The gamification of tradeshows is not a new thing. However, this strategy has leveled up recently in trade show exhibit design.
Create Attractive Spaces for Meetings and Relaxing: One newer trend for companies that want to conduct business away from the din of the floor is to build separate meeting spaces and lounge areas. Especially as we return after the pandemic, people are still wary of being around large groups. The conference rooms include doors for quiet and privacy that can also be locked for extra security overnight. Lounge areas provide great ante-rooms for these private meetings, and also give attendees much-needed resting space. With modular trade show booth displays, these areas can be configured to meet your meeting needs.
