Exhibition Design & Build / Logistics / Exhibitor Management
When Highlands and Islands Enterprise needed a team to refurbish, build and manage the Scottish Pavilion at one of aquaculture’s flagship global events, Speakeasy delivered from concept to close. Taking on an existing stand design, we refurbished and rebuilt the structure – a striking curvilinear form with a curved overhead pelmet and elegant double pillars that felt open and welcoming while clearly defining the pavilion’s presence on the show floor. Every component was pre-built in our workshop, then packed and transported to Trondheim in close collaboration with our trusted local haulage partner, with all shipping, insurance and regulatory requirements carefully managed throughout.
Supporting 20 SMEs across the three-day event, our team went well beyond the build. A bespoke branded Exhibitor Portal allowed each company to manage AV requirements, upload artwork and access key documentation – all in one place. Pre-show webinars walked exhibitors through 3D renders of their individual pods, logistics and presentation schedules. We also consolidated and shipped each company’s collateral and merchandise directly to their pod, removing a significant logistical burden from the exhibitors themselves. On-site, we co-ordinated a full live presentation programme, managed digital content across all screens, and provided real-time AI-powered translation between English and Spanish via wireless headsets, ensuring the pavilion was accessible to audiences across the show floor.
