Behind the scenes, build at Sibos

Ever been curious as to how an exhibition stand develops from being a design on paper to real life construction onsite, ready for the show to open? Take a look at the below, behind the scenes photos, taken onsite with Nest at Sibos in Toronto 2017.

Sibos 2017, Toronto

Sibos is the world’s premier financial services event and 2017’s location of choice was The Metro Convention Centre in Toronto.

Nest added to our existing portfolio and delivered stands for Six Securities Services, Smartstream Technologies, Isbank, Accuity, Pega Systems and IHS Markit. 

Brief’s ranged from corporate, professional lounges to experiential brand journeys and all were answered with bespoke solutions.

We left the show with six very happy clients all of which benefited from our full design and management service.

Here’s to Sydney in 2018!

Shimtech at Paris Airshow 2017

Nest worked with existing client Shimtech at Paris Airshow at the Le Bourget Airport venue again for 2017 back in June.

The main feature on the stand was the 4.5m x 2.5m seamless videowall, displaying an eye catching promotional video to entice visitors to the stand. There were also some creatively designed product displays, one with the use of a turntable for a moving display.

Arval at Fleet Management Live 2017

Nest continue to build upon their relationship with existing client Arval, delivering their stand at Fleet Management Live at the NEC last month. The stand worked well for the client and meant they could meet with customers and potential partners face to face, enjoy a freshly made smoothie or coffee from the barista service and get interactive with their VR experience. We look forward to working together for the next one!

UK Construction Week 2017, NEC

Nest installed two stands at the NEC Birmingham for the UK Construction Week event. The UK’s largest construction trade show with 33,500 attendees this year. One stand was for CAT and one for Finning CAT, each with a different offering but maintaining the same brand consistency throughout. Take a look….

A busy week in September

Nest dived into the start of the busy season with a five install week, spreading the team around Europe. Take a look at what our team produced with our contractors and suppliers, and where they were in that week.

The very creative show, which is ‘Dmexco’ in Cologne is always a nice show to work at. Some great use of colour, technology and lighting here for DoubleVerify to make their stand very much turn heads at the show.

At the NEC, Birmingham we worked with our existing client Countrystyle for the reinstall of their stand at RWM (Renewable Waste Management). This is the sixth year working with the client at the show.

Over to London at the Excel for DSEI, a defence and security exhibition. Our existing client Gentex have a number of different helmet products and technologies they sell within the air, land and sea sectors. After conducting a debrief and asking how the show went, they responded “It was great, and we loved the stand. Thanks for all your assistance.” We look forward to working with the Gentex team for the next one.

Ormco who supply innovative solutions and support within the orthodontist sector of the dental industry, called upon Nest to design their space at the British Orthodontist Conference in Manchester. Creating a suitable space to meet face to face with visitors to the event. 

At the RAI exhibition centre in Amsterdam our contractors installed our client existing system stand with new graphics, you’d never tell from this photo that it was constructed from a framework of aluminium system.

Infosecurity Europe 2017

Infosecurity Europe 2017 (otherwise known as Infosec), took place at Olympia London on 6th-8th June this year in the height of the busy exhibition season. Nest worked closely with existing clients to design, build and manage the delivery of their exhibition spaces at the event. Returning and building upon relationships with Egress, Algosec and Akamai.

Akamai took to the origins of their Hawaiian company name and used this theme to inspire the use of a cocktail bar and jet ski game to attract the passers by. While Egress and Algosec made use of demos, presentations, giveaways and games with competitions to portray their offerings and get visitors interacting. 

The event features around 360 exhibitors and attracts approximately 13,000 visitors, who get the opportunity to experience a schedule of conference sessions and visit companies face-to-face who offer the latest services and products in the information security industry. Take a look at the masterpieces which our clients called their base during this three day event…..

Mobile World Congress 2017

Mobile World Congress (MWC) is the world’s largest gathering for the mobile industry, organised by the GSMA and held in the Mobile World Capital Barcelona, 27 February – 2 March 2017

In 2017 we were proud to be working and supporting two new clients, Channel VAS and Akamai and an existing client for the 3rd year, inew.

The largest project we undertook was for Akamai, they are the global leader in Content Delivery Network (CDN) services, making the Internet fast, reliable and secure for its customers. 

Nest Studios were appointed to design and build their hospitality stand after successfully pitching against 18 other agencies.

Due to moving into Hall 2 a new approach compared to previous years had to be considered with controlled access into the space and mainly hospitality driven activity.

The outer structure was inspired by Akamai’s vast server network, this was further enhanced with chasing LED lighting to show data flow. Once into the interior space, an open and professional look and feel was achieved using high quality materials and lighting. The demo and lounge area where designed with various activations including two hands-on demos with experts, self discovery areas using iPads and a dual screen touch table to show company literature and web assets.

Hospitality and meeting areas included two low lounge, four large meeting rooms with digital whiteboards.

In conclusion, Nest Studios were successful in delivering a modern hospitality, demo and meeting space. We are already talking about ideas for next year’s stand and we have also recently successfully worked with the UK team on the first of two projects as part of Akamai’s overall global events programme.
