Stand design tips for ADIFE
Plan sampling early. Tasting counters need water, power and food-safety approval included in the first brief.
Stand out in a pavilion. National pavilions set design rules; strong lighting and an open front help within those limits.
Leave room for meetings. Distributor and buyer meetings are the main business, so plan seating.
Keep stock secure. A lockable store room keeps samples and catalogues off the stand floor.
Planning timeline
10–12 weeks before: confirm space and brief, start design
6–8 weeks before: final design, submit drawings and service orders
3–4 weeks before: fabrication and graphics
Build-up days: on-site installation and handover before opening; dismantling after the show closes
