January Furniture Show at NEC

Exhibition stand build and installation at the NEC Birmingham, delivering a functional, compliant and high-visibility information feature within a live visitor environment.

Project Overview

For the NEC Furniture Show in Birmingham, Exhibition Vision were commissioned directly to supply and install a large-scale information wall within the main customer atrium.

The purpose of the installation was clear — to provide visitors with immediate, easy-to-understand directional information upon arrival, helping manage footfall and improve the overall event experience.

Positioned in a high-traffic public area, the structure needed to be visually impactful, structurally secure, and fully compliant with venue safety requirements.

Project Overview

Attention to Detail

Ensuring the wall performed reliably in a busy, live exhibition setting.

Scope of Work

Our role covered the complete delivery of the installation, balancing visual impact with the practical and safety requirements of a high-traffic public space. Every element was carefully planned and executed to ensure the information wall was not only visually effective, but structurally sound and fully compliant within the atrium environment.

Challenges & Considerations

Installing within a customer atrium introduces a different level of complexity compared to a standard exhibition stand build. With constant public access and high visitor movement, both safety and visibility become critical to the success of the installation. Our team ensured the installation was fully secure, stable, and aligned with all venue requirements, giving complete confidence in both safety and performance.

High footfall environment

The structure needed to remain stable and secure in a continuously busy, high-traffic area.

Open-access positioning

With no enclosed stand space, the installation had to be safe and presentable from all angles.

Long-distance visibility

Graphics and layout were designed to ensure clear readability from across the atrium.

Strict compliance requirements

All elements were built and installed in line with NEC regulations for public-facing temporary structures.

Improved visitor navigation

Clear signage helped attendees quickly understand the layout and find their way around the event.

Strong central presence

Positioned within the atrium, the installation acted as a visible focal point on arrival.

Safe for continuous interaction

Built to withstand constant public use while maintaining full compliance with safety standards.

Outcome

The completed information wall delivered a clear and effective wayfinding solution, supporting both visitor experience and event organisation. The result was a practical, well-executed installation that enhanced the overall flow of the NEC Furniture Show and supported a smooth, professional visitor experience.
