Our Custom Exhibit Design + Production Process

Trade show custom exhibit design and production process

COLLABORATIVE
DESIGN
PROCESS

Our typical creative process is highly collaborative and begins with one or more meetings between the client stakeholders, Holt creative team (physical and digital members), and the client’s ad agency to learn about the experience that you are trying to create, your overall business objectives and required KPI’s, the event program as a whole, and general show specifics and requirements. We then work through special planning, structural concepts, attendee interaction, digital and AV experience with regular check-ins and feedback from the client along the way.

PROVEN
PRODUCTION
PROCESS

We provide a full production schedule at the onset of a project, outlining key dates to hit for both the client and for Holt. We have a production kickoff meeting internally to discuss the project, materials, and timeline. Our process includes graphic proofing, material selections, and CAD detailing before going into production. This results in having the booth built and show ready in our warehouse for an in person review of all assets before going out to the event.
