Our Exhibitors 

Our Better Stands campaign aims to tackle the environmental impact of stands and booths at exhibitions.

To achieve this, we have set a goal to eliminate all disposable stands at our EMEA events by 2024, and we are actively engaging with our exhibitors to make this happen. By adopting reusable structures, we can significantly reduce waste while also enjoying various benefits.

Such structures allow for:

  • Faster construction and dismantling of stands
  • Reduced design and construction costs for businesses
  • Investment in high-quality and more successful stands 
  • Better business practices from being sustainable
