The Brief
Symbiosis were delighted to become the official exhibition stand contractor for The Independent Schools Show in November 2019. Over 150 public schools attend to showcase their brand over a two-day event, the show attracts prospective pupils and parents across the UK and internationally who are looking for independent education. With our previous experience of successfully contracting entire events, we were super excited to take on another Symshell challenge.
Our Response
Providing an efficient, memorable service that was compatible with the large volume of exhibitors was our number one priority. To achieve this, we teamed up with our in-house designers and marketing team to create an easy and accessible online portal. The portal created the ability for each school to login and order all the necessities and extras for their stand from one platform. The portal covered all the basics such as lighting and AV, to more custom features such as LED skin display walls.
By simply logging in with a personal ID, each organisation were able to upload their artwork & media files. Meaning they had complete control and accessibility to their stand progress. In true Symbiosis style, we were available at all times to provide any guidance needed. Making the process seamless and stress-free. We were also on-hand to attend meetings with any schools who required face-to-face service. Along with the design, build and management, we took care of all the venue essentials such as health and safety, rigging and internet.
Delivery
When the build day arrived, Symbiosis & STANDBUILDER.co.uk teams arrived at Battersea Evolution raring to go. We built over 100 shell scheme stands ranging from a modest 2m x 3m to an impressive 6m x 8m, all individually branded with stunning and impactful artwork, all of course printed in-house. We accomplished the stand build in just one day. Leaving our client stress-free and excited for the upcoming show. When the show day arrived, we were on-site at our help desk and personally managed to the two day event. Ensuring all exhibitors were happy, The Independent Schools Show 2019 was smoothly operated with #outstanding service.
