Project Overview:

Our environmental design project, addressing client needs for visibility, harmony, and coherence in booth presentation. We integrate wood elements, maintain color homogeneity, and replicate a refined design from a prior event in Germany (IFAT). The meeting room features a wood-themed ambiance with floor, wall, and lighting elements. We ensure high visibility of our identification sign from a distance.

The reception area includes a bar with electrical outlets, storage for documentation, and a discreet space for confidentiality. We create pleasant discussion areas with bar stools and side tables, offering electrical outlets for convenience. The exterior wall boasts a large TV screen. Additionally, we incorporate a courtesy hand sanitizer station, disinfectant wipes, and masks. Our lockable storage unit includes shelves, a coat rack, trash bins, a 250-liter refrigerator, a water cooler, individual water bottles, and a coffee machine with pods, plastic cups, and glasses. With your trust, we’ll represent you seamlessly on the booth.

Design & Implementation: 

In crafting our environmental design, we strategically implement an open concept with light wood color slats to maintain harmony.. Embracing eco-friendly principles, we incorporate live plants and faux grass near the TVs, seamlessly tying into our unique design approach. The high hanging sign, a key element emphasized in the Project Overview, adds a recognizable touch. This innovative design solution not only aligns with our client’s vision for visibility but also sets us apart in problem-solving.

A Dynamic Custom Designed Booth for AB Dynamics

Project Overview: 

We, at Synergy Design Group, aim to showcase four products for AB Dynamics’ custom designed booth: TV screens with videos, car simulators, and life-size soft pedestrian on top of a soft motorcycle. The client seeks a custom designed booth inspired by our previous design SHRM’s GOCO example, specifically admiring its layout, particularly the Center Tower. They are open to simplifying the tower or using a back wall with a potential lightbox. We’ll also confirm the wall specifications. Drawing inspiration from our SYSCO booth, we aim to create a lightweight, visually engaging design.

Design & Implementation: 

We were challenged to create a unique and visually captivating exhibit. Inspired by our GOCO design from SHRM, we knew the layout of the sections, especially the Center Tower, resonated with the client. To address this, we opted to switch the Tower design for a back wall. The TV screens with looping videos, car simulators, and physical products like the  soft pedestrian and soft motorcycle were highlighted and the focal point of the design. 

Another key consideration was the contour-lightweight aspect. Building on our experience from the SYSCO booth design, we tackled this challenge by employing innovative materials and construction techniques. This approach not only met the client’s need for a visually engaging booth but also ensured that the exhibit remained portable and easy to assemble. Ultimately, our unique solution provided a memorable and interactive experience for attendees while effectively showcasing all four products.

The image shows a 3D rendering of a custom designed booth for AB Dynamics, a company that provides testing and engineering services to the automotive industry. The booth is designed to be modern and inviting, with a focus on showcasing the company's latest products and services. The main feature of the booth is a large, interactive display that allows visitors to learn more about AB Dynamics' capabilities in areas such as vehicle dynamics, emissions testing, and crashworthiness testing. The booth also features a meeting area where visitors can speak with AB Dynamics representatives about their specific needs.

Results: 

Our exhibit received outstanding feedback, being lauded as one of the show’s best stands. Looking ahead, we’re planning to reuse the same stand design for two upcoming U.S. events: the current one and NOVI in Michigan, both organized by the same entity. This approach optimizes the use of our exhibit and potentially justifies a purchase investment, as mentioned by the client. We’re also considering expansion opportunities in the U.S. market through NURINA U.S. shows. To ensure our continued success, we’ll follow up in mid-December as part of our future planning process.

 When crafting our solution for the large trade show booth, we focused on an open concept to seamlessly unite two companies. We ingeniously connected demo stations with a curved custom overhead structure adorned with graphics. This approach creates a cohesive and engaging experience for both companies, achieving the desired design cohesiveness. Additionally, we ensured ample storage solutions, addressing the client’s emphasis on efficient storage in this 20 x 40 co-branded trade show environment.

Results

 Our design of the large trade show booth successfully met the challenge and client’s vision. The L-shaped layout with a 20ft height and island option created a captivating space. Seamless integration of technology and three product displays enhanced the booth’s appeal. The open, clean, and simple design delighted visitors.

The central storage closet and strategically placed high-tops, soft seating, and movable poufs optimized functionality.

From Challenge to 20×20 Culturally Rich Booth

A 20x20 booth with a table and stools, with the text "Ally Do It Right" on the table. there are led lights and Spanish inspired art on the back wall

 

Project Overview: 

We, Synergy Design Group, crafted Ally’s culturally rich 20×20 booth. Addressing their past overcrowding issue, we’ll minimize tables and chairs. Our goal is a captivating, yet distinct back wall like last year’s. Furthermore, they’ve requested a digital menu for scheduling meetings using a QR code or link. Additionally, they desire a check-in table and an agua fresca bar within the booth. Staying true to the digital café theme, our vision includes authentically Mexican-inspired decor with hand-painted signage from the mood board. We’re also planning a selfie booth and a themed photo op back wall to complement the Mexican ambiance.

Design & Implementation: 

We crafted a Mexican-inspired café booth featuring a unique photo op back wall with a blend of painted and 3D hanging plants in a 20×20 booth. The booth’s upper frame of the canopy was adorned with a stunning stained glass look decal. For an authentic touch, we incorporated a vintage bar table with a rustic wood top and black pipe legs. To complete the ambiance, we included Spanish-inspired art canvases, ensuring a one-of-a-kind and inviting booth for the client.

Results: 

Clients were thrilled with the final design, receiving praise from staff, attendees, and alpfa staff, calling this 20×20 booth the best. Our booth stood out as warm and welcoming, deviating from the common “cookie-cutter” designs. The project proceeded smoothly, and we’re actively addressing regulatory matters to maintain progress. We’re excited to continue designing for them in the future, building on this success and creating more engaging experiences.

Project Overview: 

In this case study, our Synergy Design Group team showcases how we helped Accenture transform its WBENC booth and highlight its branding message. Accenture is a global consulting and professional services firm known for its innovative solutions and expertise in various industries. They wanted to showcase their branding and message to potential clients and trusted us to revamp their 20×20 exhibit for WBENC.

How AI is Revolutionizing the Trade Show Industry

Generative AI illustration featuring a silhouette of a crowd, standing together, scrutinizing a large digital wall display showing a falling stock market index.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the trade show industry. From improving the attendee experience to helping exhibitors generate leads, AI is a powerful tool that can be used to boost event ROI.

 

Here are some ways trade shows and events are using AI:

  • Personalizing the attendee experience. AI can collect data about attendees, including their interests, demographics, and past event attendance, and then use this data to personalize the attendee experience by suggesting relevant sessions or exhibitors
  • Generating leads.AI can identify potential leads at trade shows by analyzing attendee data, including their interactions with exhibitors and social media activity.
  • Optimizing event logistics. AI can use to optimize event logistics by managing traffic flow or scheduling events. This can help to improve the efficiency and convenience of events
  • Improving security. AI can be used to improve event security by detecting suspicious activity or by monitoring social media for threats

 

These are just a few of the ways AI is being used in trade shows and events. As AI technology continues to develop, we can expect to see even more innovative ways to use AI to improve the trade show experience.

 

How AI Can Help Your Business Grow

If you’re a B2B business, AI can help you grow your business in a number of ways. For example, AI can be used to:

 

  • Identify new leads. AI can be used to analyze your website traffic and social media activity to identify potential leads.
  • Qualify leads. AI can be used to qualify leads by assessing their interests and needs.
  • Nurture leads. AI can be used to nurture leads by sending them personalized content and offers.
  • Close deals. AI can be used to close deals by automating the sales process.

 

By using AI, you can save time and money, improve your efficiency, and generate more leads and sales. If you’re looking for ways to improve your trade show or event, AI is a powerful tool that can help you achieve your goals.

 

More Benefits AI Can Help You Get More Out of Your Next Trade Show:

  • Increased ROI: AI can help you to improve the efficiency of your events, which can lead to increased ROI.
  • Improved attendee satisfaction: AI can help you to provide a more personalized and engaging experience for attendees, which can lead to improved satisfaction.

Personalized Attendee Experience: Elevating Engagement Through AI

AI’s impact on the trade show industry is undeniable, with its transformative capabilities reshaping every facet of event management. One remarkable application is in personalizing the attendee experience. Imagine a trade show where AI analyzes attendees’ past event history, demographics, and interests. This data allows event organizers to curate tailored schedules, suggesting sessions and exhibitors that align with each attendee’s preferences. For instance, an AI-driven app could recommend workshops and networking opportunities to a marketing professional, while guiding an engineer towards relevant product showcases. This personal touch enhances engagement and leaves attendees with a lasting positive impression.

 

Lead Generation Reinvented: AI’s Role in Identifying Potential Connections

Another compelling aspect of AI is its role in generating leads. Traditionally, trade shows required exhaustive manual effort to identify potential leads among attendees. AI revolutionizes this process by analyzing attendee data, evaluating interactions with exhibitors, and even scanning social media activity. Imagine an AI system that detects an attendee who frequently engages with posts about automation solutions – a clear indication of potential interest in exhibitors offering such products. By highlighting these leads, AI empowers exhibitors to focus their efforts on the most promising connections, optimizing their chances of meaningful engagement and conversion.

 

Streamlined Logistics: AI’s Optimization of Event Operations

AI also has a significant impact on optimizing event logistics. Consider an AI-powered traffic management system that adjusts routes in real time based on attendee density, preventing bottlenecks and ensuring smooth flow. Additionally, AI-driven scheduling tools can consider attendee preferences and optimize the sequence of events, enhancing convenience and overall satisfaction. Think of a scenario where AI analyzes historical data to predict peak traffic times and places, helping exhibitors and attendees plan their movements strategically. Such improvements streamline operations, saving time and resources while elevating the overall event experience.

 

Future Innovations: AI’s Continued Evolution in Trade Shows and Events

Furthermore, AI’s role in enhancing security is critical. In an era of increasing concern about event safety, AI can monitor attendee behavior and detect unusual patterns. This might involve identifying a person lingering in restricted areas or analyzing sentiment from social media posts to identify potential threats. By leveraging AI for security, event organizers can respond proactively to potential risks, ensuring a secure environment for all attendees.

These examples illustrate the broad range of AI’s influence on the trade show industry. As AI technology advances, it will undoubtedly uncover more innovative applications, refining and enriching the trade show experience for all stakeholders involved. The Trade show Industry is undergoing a rapid transformation thanks to the pervasive influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI).
