A stand designed entirely to your specifications: dimensions, materials, layout, visual identity. The ideal solution to make a lasting impression at the major Swiss trade shows. It requires a bigger investment, but in return delivers unmatched visual impact, perfectly aligned with your brand image.
More than a simple exhibition space, the event stand incorporates scenographic and interactive elements to create a memorable experience. Ideal for product launches, brand activations and high-traffic trade shows.
Designed to showcase your products and services in a dedicated space, the exhibition stand structures your presence at trade shows. Robust and modular according to the allocated surface, it combines visibility, functionality and smooth circulation to welcome your visitors in the best conditions.
Made of components that can be assembled and reconfigured, it adapts to every trade show, every surface and every budget. Reusable, transportable and customisable: the best compromise between flexibility and visual impact for companies that exhibit regularly.

Choosing the size of your stand in Switzerland is not something to improvise. Between the available surface, your budget and your objectives for the show, several criteria come into play. Here are the key points to assess before making your decision.
In Switzerland, the cost of renting floor space at a trade show is calculated per square metre and varies from one exhibition venue to another. Define an overall budget covering the floor space rental plus the design and build of your stand before deciding on a surface area.
More than a simple exhibition space, the event stand incorporates scenographic and interactive elements to create a memorable experience. Ideal for product launches, brand activations and high-traffic trade shows.

The major Swiss trade shows impose precise technical constraints: permitted height, floor footprint, electrical standards. These rules vary from one event to another and can directly shape the design of your stand. Before committing to a surface area, check with the organiser to avoid any nasty surprises during the build phase.

The location of your stand is often just as decisive as its design. In the large Swiss exhibition venues, a poor location can significantly reduce your visitor traffic, even with the most beautiful stand. Here is how to make the right choice.
At Swiss trade shows, exhibitors distinguish hot zones from cold zones. Hot zones concentrate the main visitor flow: hall entrances, central aisles, areas around the conference spaces. Cold zones, with less footfall, require an even more impactful stand to make up for the lack of passing traffic. Study the trade show circulation plan carefully before booking your location. At Palexpo Geneva and Messe Basel alike, these zones vary from one hall to another and from one show to the next.
The best locations at Swiss trade shows go fast. The earlier you register, the more choice and negotiating room you have. Do not hesitate to contact the organisers directly to secure the position you are targeting. As a general rule, locations on the right-hand side of the visitor flow are more advantageous and generate more qualified contacts.
Being too close to a direct competitor can cost you hesitant visitors who will compare your offers on the spot. Too far from the players in your sector, and you risk being invisible to your target audience. At major Swiss trade shows where competition is fierce, finding the right balance is a strategic decision not to be taken lightly.
Being located near the conference rooms, catering areas or main stage of a Swiss trade show naturally drives more traffic to your stand. Visitors attending conferences are often qualified profiles, actively monitoring your sector. On the other hand, avoid the immediate vicinity of the toilets, where visitors are not in the right frame of mind to discover your offer.
Ceiling height, electrical access, structural constraints: some locations at Swiss trade shows are subject to specific restrictions depending on the hall. Check that your intended location is compatible with the technical requirements of your stand before signing. Our teams, thoroughly familiar with the configurations of Palexpo Geneva, Messe Basel and BERNEXPO, support you in this choice to avoid any nasty surprises on the day.
If commercial partners are taking part in the same Swiss trade show, being positioned nearby can facilitate interactions, strengthen your credibility and generate valuable synergies. Visitors who move from a partner’s stand to yours are often already in a buying or collaboration mindset, which makes them particularly valuable contacts.
An exhibition stand builder in Switzerland is a professional specialising in the design, manufacture and installation of stands for the country’s trade shows and exhibitions. They support companies from start to finish: from the initial brief through to the assembly and dismantling of the stand on site, handling all the technical and logistical constraints of Swiss exhibition venues.
A Swiss stand builder typically offers 3D stand design, manufacturing, on-site delivery, assembly and dismantling, as well as storage between two shows. At The Stand Experts, we also provide personalised guidance on materials, lighting, signage and interactive equipment.
The price of a stand in Switzerland varies according to the type of stand, the surface area, the materials and the services included. A modular stand generally starts at a few hundred euros, while a custom exhibition stand for a major Swiss trade show can represent a larger investment.

A stand builder based in Switzerland knows the technical and logistical constraints of the main exhibition venues inside out: Palexpo Geneva, Messe Basel, BERNEXPO and Beaulieu Lausanne. This proximity guarantees greater responsiveness, controlled delivery times and easier access to local partners such as joiners, fitters and technicians.
The Stand Experts designs and builds all types of stands in Switzerland: custom exhibition stands, modular stands, event stands and exhibition stands. Each solution is tailored to your budget, your objectives and the specific requirements of the trade show where you are exhibiting.
Lead times vary according to the complexity of the project. For a modular stand, allow around 1 month. For a custom exhibition stand, allow at least 2 to 6 months. We recommend contacting your Swiss stand builder as early as possible to secure your schedule ahead of the show.
Our process runs in several stages: initial brief, concept proposal and 3D modelling, quote approval, manufacturing, then delivery and assembly at the Swiss exhibition venue. You are supported at every stage by a dedicated project manager who keeps the schedule and the budget on track.
The Stand Experts operates in Switzerland and across the whole Swiss Confederation, including the neighbouring cantons. We cover all the exhibition venues in the region, from Palexpo Geneva to Messe Basel and BERNEXPO.
