Stand Design Awards

Thursday 2 February, 16:00
CEDIA Smart Home Technology Stage (stand 2F350)

Acknowledging the art and science of stand design

Pictured above (L-R) at the ISE 2023 Stand Design Awards Ceremony are: Mike Blackman, Managing Director, Integrated Systems Events; Maria-Amaya Ferrari, VP Sales and Marketing, Black Nova; Toon Van Lierde, Co-founder, Luhk-ee; Neda Kanani, President, Zykronix; Elke Fabian, Head of Events EMEA, Epson Europe; Travis Stanton, Editor in Chief, EXHIBITOR Magazine 

Created by Integrated Systems Europe to acknowledge ISE exhibitors and their stand-design efforts, the Stand Design Awards are managed solely by EXHIBITOR magazine, an award-winning print and online magazine featuring best practices for trade show marketing. A product of Exhibitor Group (www.ExhibitorOnline.com), EXHIBITOR magazine has hosted its own highly respected and impartially organised Exhibit Design Awards for more than 30 years. The ISE 2023 Stand Design Awards, then, follow in this same impartial vein and enlist a group of highly esteemed designers and marketers, who have no connection to the show and its exhibitors, to jury the competition.

Eligibility

Every stand on the ISE show floor is automatically entered in the free competition and judged on site during ISE 2023. However, any stand that has previously won an ISE Stand Design Award and whose design employs roughly the same size footprint and/or reuses approximately 50 percent or more of the previous winning stand is ineligible for the competition. Thus,  companies may win multiple awards over numerous years, but the same stand may only win once.

Judges and judging

EXHIBITOR magazine’s Editor, Travis Stanton, along with Deputy Editor Brian Dukerschein, complete the initial round of on-site judging to select the finalists.

During ISE, the following group of world-renowned designers and marketers judge the finalists on site. Jurors score each finalist based on the assessment criteria, and the stand with the highest point total in each entry category is declared its winner.

Assessment criteria

Jurors consider how well each stand:

  • communicates the name and purpose of the exhibiting company/product/brand,
  • demonstrates effective design realisation/fabrication,
  • enlists colour, graphics, and organisation/wayfinding as a design tool,
  • presents an effective integration of technology (if applicable) and/or lighting design,
  • employs the allotted space and scale to convey key messages, and
  • delivers an on-trend and/or impactful overall presence.

Recognition

Ten finalists were selected in each category, notified on the show floor, and presented with a plaque by Wednesday 1 February. At the Awards Ceremony on Thursday 2 February, the four winners (one per category) were announced and presented with a trophy. ISE is promoting the winners via various newsletters and channels, and EXHIBITOR magazine is publicising the winners via an official press release, social-media posts, and www.ExhibitorOnline.com.
