Another successful Global Energy Show (formerly known as the Global Petroleum Show) in Calgary, Alberta, has come and gone. Now that we’ve all had 72 straight hours of sleep to make up for a week of being run off our feet, let’s recap!
Our clients definitely stood out on the show floor, take a look at some of the trade show exhibitor displays we put together:

From 10×10 portable trade show displays to huge 50×70 custom exhibits, we enjoyed the wide range of projects at this year’s show. Hanging fabric signs suspended from the ceiling are a great way to add height and dimension to your display while also creating 360-degree visibility from anywhere on the show floor. Some of our clients opted for beMatrix wall systems which are perfect for large-format seamless graphics. Another popular option with our clients were Octanorm systems, which featured vinyl graphics panels, shelving, extended header signs, along with branded podiums and counters.
Some of this year’s exhibits included unique features like virtual reality stations, custom demonstration areas, and even a two-level video wall! Most of our client’s setups also opted to have meeting areas, whether it be bar-height stools and tables, or private enclosed spaces with comfortable rental couches. Being able to have a space to discuss ideas and partnerships is often a key need for exhibitors at this show; having a comfortable and inviting space to meet helps draw potential leads into your booth.
