Business Meetings & Conferences
General sessions and breakout meetings form the traditional core of these corporate events. Addressing employees, customers, users or other specialized segment, top leadership are able to deliver planning, promotional and other important messaging within a live setting.
Expo Experiences
A dedicated space provides more in-depth, immersive interaction with individual brands or products, supported by custom graphics, messaging and sometimes structures for each. Often used to support Business Meetings & Conferences.
Branded Experiences
Traditionally used to promote a single brand within a consumer context, focusing on experiential interaction outside the confines of an Expo. Events can range from smaller pop-ups, one-offs and mobile tours, to large-scale activations that serve as the main attraction.
Event & Production Management
The collective expertise that connects all elements of an event from planning to execution, helping ensure complete success. Stretching across as many or as few internal services as necessary, a perfect balance of technical and creative aspects provides clarity and stability.
Custom & Rental Exhibits
Whether fabricated from scratch, or created using a modular system, unique structures are created to provide support for a range of different events. Guided by Environmental Design and often used for Permanent Environments & Displays.
Show Services
Part of Complete Event & Production Management, supporting all shipping, assembling and activation of hard assets. Especially attuned to the specific nuances of individual shows and their custom needs and regulations.
Environmental Design
The digital blueprint that supports the fabrication or assembly of a rental or custom structure. Often rendered in 3D, and sometimes enhanced with animation, allowing for “build it before we build it” efficiency that maximizes both time and financial investment.
Permanent Environments & Displays
Installations designed for both aesthetics and structural integrity, ideally integrating with both an overall architectural concept and core branding of a product or company. Scalable capabilities provide as little or as much immersion as desired.
Creative Strategy & Writing
Both internal messaging for topline initiatives, and the copy that expresses it to attendees, employees, customers or consumers. Connecting both ends of the spectrum helps ensure better integration, consistency and overall quality.
Graphic & Presentation Design
Image creation for a variety of different content. Whether applied to printed surfaces or digital resources, supporting an event, service or packaged product, the range of uses is diverse, fluid and extremely adaptable to any client need.
Scenic & Experience Design
The integration of strategy, hard assets and creative product needed to successfully activate an event. Supported by Complete Event & Production Management, connecting services like Creative Services and Video Production and Fabrication and Printing.
