Recently, the Exhibition Services and Contractors Association (ESCA) and the Experiential Designers and Producers Association (EDPA) released a comprehensive report called the Sustainability Guidance for Exhibition Stand Construction. You can read the full document as a flipping book.
According to the organizations, “This project signifies our commitment to sustainability and reflects our dedication to supporting our members in adopting more environmentally responsible practices. By outlining best practices and offering guidance on sustainable booth design and construction, we aim to empower exhibitors to minimize their environmental footprint while maximizing their impact at trade shows.”
The report contains 13 recommendations (or sections) on Sustainable Practices for the event and trade show industries. This post covers “The 6 Rs of Responsible Consumption,” “A Commitment to Continuous Improvement,” and “Exhibit Structures.” Additional sections will be shared in the coming weeks.
Since 2007, Classic Exhibits has been producing a full-line of sustainable exhibits, trade show accessories, and large format green printing options. The ecoSmart Sustainable line includes eco-friendly inlines, islands, counters, and wide range of workstations, pedestals, tabletops, and LED lightboxes.

The term “portable modular” is a slippery term. Probably 80-90% of the displays described as “portable modular” are rarely both. Those with both features are often compromised by complexity, poor quality, or the availability of accessories.
Yet, many exhibitors need a display that’s portable and modular, either for budgetary reasons or for configuration flexibility. In short, they want a reconfigurable portable display with practical accessories that doesn’t require a mechanical engineering degree and packaging that’s logical, expandable, and durable.
To be fair, there are several well-designed display systems that are both portable and modular. The Symphony Portable Display System being one of them. Symphony has 5 advantages over other portable modular choices:
#1. Engineered Aluminum Extrusion. This makes it both structural (think larger monitors) and durable (think years of service, rather than months)
#2. Tool-less Assembly: Both the frame and all the accessories are tool free.
#3. Upscale Accessories: No other system includes an array of accessories like wireless charging, locking iPad clamshells, shelves, and 10 portable counters.
#4. Die-cut Foam Packaging: There’s no guesswork with Symphony. Every part has a specific slot, and the packaging is designed to last show after show.
#5. Classic’s Exceptional Service and Quality. But you knew this already.
Choose from over 90 Symphony designs in Exhibit Design Search. Your client can start small and then add to their Symphony exhibit as their trade show needs evolve.

Buying a trade show display shouldn’t be a last minute decision. It’s not like the trade show was suddenly scheduled a month ago. Yet you have clients who need an exhibit ASAP (or PDQ for those over 40 years old). Basically, a Hail Mary Pass!
We can help. In Exhibit Design Search, there are (7) Rapid Rentals and (7) Quick Ship designs available. All are packed in portable cases or crates and include (8) 10 x 10 kits and (6) 10 x 20 kits.
Since these designs are already built and packed: (1) The submission of your graphics will dictate the final ship date and (2) Any requests for structural, finish, or accessory modifications will automatically make them non-Quick Ship or Rapid Rentals Displays.
To identify theses designs, look for the “Speedy Delivery Van” icon in Exhibit Design Search. While there have been lots of successful Hail Mary passes in football, probably the most famous is Doug Flutie’s pass against the University of Miami.
When you think of navigating a trade show, the words “chaos” and “exhausting” often come to mind. Those two or three days on the show floor can be challenging for attendees which is why more and more exhibitors are creating casual, relaxing environments for attendees within their booth space.
These booths offer all the benefits of a traditional exhibit, like large graphics, demo stations, storage, and reception counters, but add seating. This allows attendees and exhibitors time to relax and chat, a luxury which many potential clients will appreciate.
The three rental islands below include soft seating (sofas) or exhibition seating (bistro tables and chairs). Rentals are an excellent option for many exhibitors since they allow for design flexibility and a lower upfront cost.
