How Modular Partition Systems Can Transform Trade Shows, Conferences, and Exhibition Halls

Are you planning to host a conference or an exhibition at your venue?  For sure, it requires detailed planning, an eye for detail, and, of course, proper execution. One of the important aspects of organizing such events is managing the flow of people. This means setting clear boundaries regarding entrance, exit, VIP or guest enclosures, fencing for seating arrangements, and more. While traditional rigid partitions were once the go-to solution, they are now a thing of the past. Today, there is a growing demand for flexible and portable partition systems that adapt to changing event needs. These modern solutions offer the versatility to reshape spaces and manage movement seamlessly, all while remaining sturdy enough to handle large crowds. This post discusses the significance of such partition systems and how they can help streamline the seating and movement of people during conferences or exhibitions.

How Modular Partition Systems Help Exhibitors and Event Planners Improve Layout and Streamline Movement

Modular partition systems from SelectSpace® Partitions are an excellent option for event planners and organizers to create flexible, customizable spaces for conferences and exhibitions. Here’s how they help.

• Alternative to the Pipe and Drape System: Anyone who has exhibited at a tradeshow has a love/hate relationship with the pipe and drape. While the back drapes are nice for hiding extra materials and separating different rows, the sides often get in the way. More often than not, exhibitors go to great lengths to remove them since they are downright ugly. Using an upscale system like SelectSpace not only gives you the separation you need from your booth neighbors, but it's harder to take down, meaning all the work you paid your crews for won’t go to waste. And, if we are being honest, since SelectSpace looks great, Exhibitors won’t want to remove them.

• Exhibitors: Exhibitors in large island booth spaces (think 20x20 and beyond) can use SelectSpace for a variety of reasons – from crowd control to show off your latest improvements to your product, to a VIP section for free drinks, to another way to showcase your logo with logo panels, tradeshow experts love the ease of set up and premium set-up SelectSpace offers

• VIP Areas: More and more trade shows are dedicating floor space to VIP areas – maybe a lounge to watch the game during March Madness, or some comfy seats to chat with new clients. Incorporating SelectSpace into those VIP areas is a no-brainer. Choose a custom color for your event and easily set it up around the area. Its premium look will draw people in from all over the show.

• Additional Sponsorship: One of SelectSpace's unique aspects is our 5’ and 7’ logo panel displays. They are affordable ways to showcase logos beautifully, with laser-cut precision. Now, you can offer additional sponsorships for your exhibitors. The logo panels can be placed outside the exhibit hall at key areas, such as the check-in desk or where you grab lanyards. You can also have a sponsor for your lounge area. The possibilities are endless.

• For the Exhibit Hall Itself: Are you in charge of crowd control in the exhibit hall? You know how chaotic it can be on the show's first day when everyone is coming in at once. That’s where SelectSpace comes in – because it is lightweight and easy to use, you can set up to control crowds. Some ideas could be an “Exhibitor Only” entrance in the morning or acting as a line queue to keep people organized. We’ve even seen it in places like the New Orleans Convention Center to section off eating at their kiosks. The possibilities for crowd control in the exhibit hall and for the operators are endless.

• Outdoor Use: Want to have something special outside? Bring some SelectSpace panels there! Unlike traditional pipe and drapes, which can rust when wet, SelectSpace Partitions are made from Stainless Steel and Aluminum and are powder-coated. This means you will have a rust-free product that will look great year after year.
