Olympia London – A Historic Exhibition Venue
Olympia London has been hosting exhibitions since 1886 and remains one of London’s most recognisable event destinations. The venue has recently undergone a major regeneration, with new event spaces, hospitality, hotels and other facilities forming part of the development. (Olympia) Olympia hosts trade shows, consumer exhibitions, conferences and specialist events. For exhibitors, the venue provides an opportunity to meet highly targeted audiences depending on the event. Your exhibition graphics should therefore be designed around the specific show you’re attending. For example, a food company may require bright product photography and sampling graphics, while a technology company might need a more corporate, minimalist display. Stand Banner’s printing and display solutions can be adapted to different industries and exhibition requirements.Business Design Centre London
The Business Design Centre in Islington is another established London exhibition venue, particularly well known for trade exhibitions, design-led events and business shows. The venue was developed from the former Royal Agricultural Hall and has evolved into an integrated trade and exhibition centre. The Business Design Centre Group became part of the wider ExCeL/ADNEC Group in 2024. (Business Design Centre) For smaller and medium-sized exhibitors, venues such as the Business Design Centre can provide an excellent environment for networking and face-to-face business. A compact pop-up stand, banner stand or shell scheme graphic package can be an effective way of maximising a smaller exhibition footprint.Evolution London – Battersea Park

SEC Glasgow and Scottish Exhibitions
The Scottish Event Campus (SEC) is one of Scotland’s leading exhibition and events destinations. The SEC Centre contains five interconnected exhibition and meeting spaces with more than 22,000 square metres of combined space. (SEC) Businesses exhibiting in Scotland may therefore benefit from choosing a display supplier capable of delivering nationwide. Stand Banner supplies exhibition graphics and display products for events throughout the UK, helping companies maintain consistent branding whether their next exhibition is in Glasgow, London, Birmingham or elsewhere.Choosing the Right Exhibition Venue
The “best” exhibition centre isn’t necessarily the largest. The most important question is: Where is your target customer going to be? If you’re selling financial technology, a specialist London event may deliver better leads. If you’re manufacturing automotive components, an industry show at the NEC may be more appropriate. If you’re selling products to Scottish retailers, Glasgow could be more commercially useful. The event itself matters just as much as the building. Before booking an exhibition, consider:- Visitor demographics
- Number of visitors
- Exhibitor profile
- Industry relevance
- Location
- Travel costs
- Stand costs
- Sponsorship opportunities
- Competitor presence
- Expected return on investment
Stand Banner – Exhibition Graphics and Display Systems
Stand Banner supplies a wide range of exhibition display products for businesses attending events throughout the UK. These include shell scheme graphics, pop-up stands, roll up banner stands and trade show stands, together with a range of large-format printed displays. The company also supplies systems and graphics compatible with recognised exhibition display systems, including Octanorm and other modular exhibition systems. If you mean a specific system or manufacturer by “Sodium”, confirm the exact system with Stand Banner before ordering so the graphics and fittings can be specified correctly. This is important because exhibition systems aren’t necessarily interchangeable.Shell Scheme Graphics
Shell scheme stands are among the most common exhibition formats. The basic shell provides the framework, but the exhibitor is responsible for making the space look like their brand. This is where professionally printed shell scheme graphics become important. Stand Banner can produce graphics designed around the dimensions and configuration of the shell scheme. These can include:- Company logos
- Product photography
- Corporate colours
- Marketing messages
- QR codes
- Website addresses
- Product information
- Sponsor branding
Pop-Up Exhibition Stands
Pop-up stands remain popular because they’re portable, relatively quick to erect and suitable for a wide variety of exhibitions. They can create a large branded backdrop without the complexity of a fully custom-built exhibition stand. They are particularly useful for:- Small businesses
- Start-ups
- Local companies
- Marketing agencies
- Product launches
- Trade shows
- Conferences
Banner Stands
Banner stands are one of the simplest ways of adding branding to an exhibition. A roller banner can be positioned beside an exhibition stand, reception desk, product demonstration or entrance. They are also useful when the exhibitor has limited space. Stand Banner supplies a variety of banner stand sizes and configurations, allowing companies to select products appropriate for their particular exhibition.Trade Show Stands
For companies wanting a larger presence, a modular or custom trade show stand can provide significantly more branding space. Most trade show stands are often assosiated with exhibitition backdrop banners or simular items. These systems can incorporate:- Back walls
- Counters
- Shelving
- Lighting
- Product displays
- Meeting areas
- Storage
- Large-format graphics
- Digital screens
B1 Fire Rating – Why Does It Matter?
B1 fire classification is an important consideration for exhibition graphics and display materials. Many exhibition venues have specific requirements regarding the fire performance of materials brought onto the premises. This is particularly important in large public venues where thousands of visitors may be present. It is sometimes stated that “if you put a non-B1-rated stand in a public area, your insurance is void.” That statement is too absolute. Insurance policies vary, and the exact consequences depend on the policy wording, venue requirements and circumstances. However, if a venue requires B1-rated materials and an exhibitor fails to comply, the stand or graphics could potentially be rejected, and non-compliance may have insurance implications. For more information on marketing read our guide on Is B1 Fire Rating Necessary for Exhibition Venues? A Comprehensive Guide by Stand Banner. The safest approach is to check:- The exhibition organiser’s regulations.
- The venue’s technical manual.
- The fire certification supplied with the display.
- Your own insurance requirements.
