Innovation, brilliant set-up, and meaningful interaction with visitors – these are the three pillars of our curatorial selection for the BIG Architecture Trade Show.
Each exhibitor may highlight up to three selected innovations.

Pavilions should be aesthetically furnished to achieve maximum visual impact for an audience of architects. We strongly recommend working with an architect or interior designer to ensure a professional and coherent presentation. Roll-ups and promotional flags are not permitted in the exhibition space.

If you wish to offer snacks or drinks as promotional materials, please note that only packaged foods and beverages are allowed.

In addition to visual appeal, each pavilion should offer a meaningful and interactive visitor experience. We encourage concepts that invite active participation, reflection, or engagement — whether through sensor-based experiences, tactile architectural details, or installations that trigger dialogue. The goal is to transform your space from a static display into a memorable and innovative encounter.

Each participating brand will receive a personal code for free daily tickets to the 2-day BIG Architecture event, as well as a digital invitation that can be shared with architect guests. Both the tickets and the invitation can be distributed freely via e-mail or social media.

We highly encourage all participants to exchange contacts with architects by scanning the QR code on their badges. The collected contact data will be saved automatically in the system and will be accessible through your profile on our website.

It’s an opportunity to present your brand’s perspective in 10 slides, with an invitation to meet the audience at your exhibition pavilion. Notably, your presentation will be featured among BIG SEE award-winning architects. We highly recommend tailoring your presentation to suit this prestigious occasion.

The presentation should focus solely on visions and perspectives without direct commercial promotion of products and brands. Exhibitors are set to deliver presentations on four occasions, with the option for either identical or distinct presentations – two on the first day and two on the second day. Each presentation is limited to a maximum of 3 minutes.

The deadline for final presentations is April 1. All presentations are considered final once they are confirmed by the organizer. Please send us the presentations in PPT or PDF format (widescreen 16:9), with a maximum size of 30 MB to tanja@bigsee.eu.

The exact schedule of presentations will be communicated to you 14 days before the event.
