Exhibition project management

Exhibition project management keeps design, approvals, suppliers, freight and the on-site build on one timeline with one accountable contact. It is usually provided by design-and-build companies that handle a stand from concept to dismantling. StandsZone Global lists those builders by country so you can compare them for your show.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a separate project manager?

Usually not. Design-and-build companies normally include project management in their quote. A separate manager can help when you use several suppliers or exhibit at many shows.

How far ahead should project management start?

For a custom stand at a major show, starting four to six months ahead leaves time for design, approvals and production.

How are builders chosen for this page?

Builders appear when their profile lists both stand design and on-site installation — the companies able to manage a stand end to end.
