Furnishing Trade Show Pavilions

Pavilions should be aesthetically furnished for maximum visual impact for an audience of architects. We recommend collaborating with an architect or interior designer when equipping the pavilion. Roll-ups and promotional flags are not permitted in the exhibition space.
If exhibitors prefer to offer snacks or drinks as promotional materials, please note that only packaged foods and beverages are allowed.

Assembly: May 21, 10 am – 7 pm

Tickets for Guests

Exhibitors will receive a link with a code for free daily tickets to the 2-day BIG Architecture event, along with a digital invitation for architect guests. They can share both through e-invitations and social media without any restrictions.

Exhibitor Activations

Exhibitors are highly encouraged to engage architects by offering sample catalogs and organizing professional excursions. Additionally, they have the opportunity to arrange a meeting at the pavilion with a key brand representative, such as the owner, general manager, or architect.

SEEnergy Party

The SEEnergy party offers exhibitors an additional chance for direct interaction with architects. All exhibitors are welcome to join the SEEnergy party area, where they can gather with fellow festival participants at the end of the first day event, May 22. This includes networking, photo opportunities, drinks, and music.

Mobile App

Exhibitors are highly encouraged to exchange contacts with interested architects they meet at the exhibition by scanning the QR code on their ticket badges. This way, the contact data of the architects will be saved in the app, and the exhibitors will be able to download it by visiting their exhibitor profile on our website.
