Classic Exhibits Awarded EDPA 2024 Sustainability Award. In December 2024, Classic Exhibits was honored at EDPA ACCESS with the Eddie Award for Best Sustainability.
Sustainability is an important topic at Classic Exhibits and to our industry. However, to many folks, if given the choice between reading a report about “green” exhibit practices or getting a root canal without Novocain, they would choose root canal every time.

Classic Exhibits has been designing and building contemporary, sustainable trade show displays through our ecoSmart line since 2007. No one in the exhibit industry has a longer or larger investment in sustainability than Classic.
As an exhibitor, you can make a difference, and that difference doesn’t have to cost more or compromise your design or marketing goals. Green display materials such as Eco-board, ReCo, and FSC wood products are smart choices that are comparable to non-sustainable materials in performance, look, and feel.
