Many exhibitors will engage with creative agencies to design their space. For those with smaller budgets, there are some simple and inexpensive ways to ensure your stand is engaging:

 • Professional banners or signage to display your organisation’s name and key messages. 

• Vibrant and energetic staff that will reflect your brand well and engage with the, mostly youth audience. 

• Furniture designed to enhance your visitor interactions; i.e. tables so you can share information together or perhaps sofas and bean bags to encourage visitors to stay longer. 

• Computers or tablets to play presentations, videos or photos on a loop. 

• Flyers or other promotional material so visitors can take information home to read While we encourage exciting and interactive displays, we do ask that you keep safety and the consideration of other exhibitors in mind when planning your stand activation. 

The Careers Expo Management must be notified prior to the events, should you wish to bring:

 • Large or potentially risky machinery 

• Live animals 

• Giveaway food or drink items 

• Any items/ activity that needs prior approval of venue management 

• Play load music or activities that generate a lot of noise 

The Careers Expo management reserves the right to refuse requests deemed to be unsafe or distracting to other exhibitors so please discuss your requirements with us prior to the event. Feel free to contact Careers Expo management to discuss creative ways of utilising your stand space. Our display partner, Peek Display can also arrange for additional lighting, banner hangings and furniture. 

Please discuss your requirements directly with them.
