We aim for all of our events to be run in an environmentally and socially responsible way whilst seeking to inspire sustainable development in our markets. We do this not only because more than 80% of our attendees tell us that they care that our events are run in a responsible manner, but because it is the right thing to do for our customers, colleagues, and the communities we serve.

Better Stands

The Better Stands program aims to unite and encourage exhibitors, along with their appointed contractors, to move towards reusable stands, in place of disposable ones. 

A disposable stand (booth) is a space only (raw space) build that is used only once at a single event and is then disposed of post-show. 

By moving away from the use of disposable stands we will improve the ease, safety and sustainability of the exhibitor experience at events.

The Better Stands program is split into three key stages, Bronze, Silver and Gold, facilitating a gradual transition for exhibitors and contractors. Each phase of the program tackles a successively harder aspect of the stand to make reusable. 

We would like you to join us moving towards the future of events. 

• Fewer building hours and more predictable timings
• Reduce costs including waste bills

To make your commitment to Better Stands and contribute to a more sustainable event:

Familiarize yourself with the Better Stands framework found below 

Share these guidelines with your contractor before they begin designing your stand and ask for options from them to meet different levels

We encourage everyone to work towards a Bronze level. This means that the stand structure and walls, platform or raised flooring, furniture, equipment and lighting are all reused. Doing this usually eliminates most of the waste and takes a big step towards reusability without compromising on cost or stand design.

Ensure that the submitted stand design clearly communicates how you will meet the Better Stands guidelines

Please download the Better Stands Brochure and the Better stands contractor brochure.

If you require any further information or guidance on the Better Stands program, please contact our customer service department
