LIDYA DESIGN / Stand Guide

Stand Guide

Practical guidance on project briefs, visitor flow, international timelines, budgets and the decisions that carry a design through to the finished stand.

Planning / 01

How to prepare an exhibition stand brief

A strong brief shortens design time, improves cost clarity and reduces late-stage changes.

  • Exhibition, city, dates, hall and technical exhibitor manual
  • Area, side dimensions, open sides and permitted height
  • Brand guide, logo, product list, display and meeting needs
  • Target budget, decision schedule and responsible contacts
Design / 02

Designing visitor flow on an exhibition stand

Visitor flow is about more than keeping aisles clear. It shapes how people enter, move through, understand and engage with the stand.

  • Brand and product recognition from main aisles within seconds
  • Open sightlines and natural direction without blocked entrances
  • Separation of quick contact, product experience, meetings and storage
  • Avoiding staff and visitor conflicts during peak periods
Delivery / 03

How to close the gap between render and finished stand

Successful delivery depends on measurements, materials, lighting, graphics and on-site decisions being managed as one coherent system.

  • Complete technical translation from approved design to production drawings
  • Pre-production approval of material, colour, print and light samples
  • Venue rules and assembly sequence considered during design
  • Lighting, graphics, finish and cleaning checks before handover
Programme / 04

How to plan an international exhibition stand timeline

Design, technical approval, production and logistics are not separate tasks; they form one programme planned backwards from show opening.

  • Collect venue submission and service-order deadlines at the outset
  • Set clear decision dates for concept, design and client approvals
  • Complete production, sample and print checks before dispatch
  • Allow contingency for customs, transport and venue access
Budget / 05

What makes up an exhibition stand budget?

A reliable budget is not based on floor area alone; design complexity, materials, technical services, logistics and site conditions all matter.

  • Design, engineering, technical drawings and venue approvals
  • Structure, finishes, furniture, lighting and graphics
  • Transport, installation, dismantling, site labour and venue services
  • Separate reusable elements and distinguish essential from optional items
