Trade shows can be overwhelming. From booth design and managing travel to coordinating marketing efforts and requesting convention services, there's a lot to juggle. All of that’s on top of ensuring you have a booth that stands out, communicates your brand message effectively, and engages your audience. Worrying about expenses, storage post event, and environmental impact only adds to the stress.

Our approach to trade shows

Navigating the complexities of trade shows shouldn’t be more complicated than the work itself. That’s why, over the past 37 years, we’ve developed a simple yet highly effective approach for consistent, positive results in our projects. We call it ADEM.

Our framework combines thoughtful approaches with action-oriented strategies to create familiarity and consistent outcomes for even the most complex or unusually creative programs. This ensures that fundamental elements are handled, allowing you to focus on what sets your event apart from the rest.

Take it for a Spin

Stand out in the crowd. Modern ideas for aspiring brands.

While the technology requirements for trade shows are ever evolving, there are a few things that don’t ever go out of style. One is easy access to modern, clean audiovisual equipment to support your messaging. Second are activations designed to attract an audience so you can make new connections. We help brands and their agencies with both. 

Bluewater offers a suite of services to elevate the trade show experience. This includes access to all the av equipment you need, support with technology design, the creation of custom brand and sponsorship activations, and technical services like on-site network deployment to support connected devices or our lead capture service. 

Of course none of this works without support from well trained technical teams, and our bench is deep. We help ensure you stand out in the crowd, and that your message is clear, so you can focus on new relationships.
