Stand design tips for GESS Dubai

• Let teachers try it. Hands-on edtech, furniture and lab kit sells when educators can sit at it, touch it or try a lesson.

• Plan demo screens and Wi-Fi. Software and edtech demos need reliable internet and screens at eye level — order network services early.

• Speak to decision-makers. Principals and school owners make up the largest group, so a quiet meeting corner for budget conversations is worthwhile.

• Keep messaging clear. Visitors move fast between CPD sessions; short headlines on what the product does for a school work best.

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
