Blazer Exhibits & Graphics designed this trade show display for Xirrus Inc. for Interop 2009 in Las Vegas. Xirrus had live amateur boxing in the booth during the show and the theme for the entire exhibit was “us versus them.” The display looked like an authentic boxing ring with ropes, logo on floor and announcer box. There was a semi-circle box for the announcer and giveaways. Xirrus actually quadrupled the foot traffic to their booth with this display and lead generation grew over 400% from the previous year.

Czarnowksi, a Chicago-headquartered exhibit firm, designed this award winning immersive exhibit experience for Philips Healthcare for the Radiological Society of North America Annual Meeting. The exhibit featured an open and airy environment that utilized Czarnowski’s Base6 aluminum extrusion system and translucent fabric walls. This approach contributed to a 30% decrease in the number of trailers required to transport the properties which reduced the transportation budget and decreased the carbon footprint of the exhibit. The focal point of the 390' x 80' space was a central path which led visitors through a series of pavilion-like “Simplicity Boxes.” Each Simplicity Box leveraged audio, video and other technologies to tell the client stories that define Philips Healthcare. A variety of lighting effects were created using Philips Lighting Division products including LED fixtures, theatrical lights, and plasma products.

Based on the theme, “It’s time for you AND Kodak,” visitors to Kodak’s booth at Print 09 were able to participate in a tailored experience based on their unique needs. The Pipeline of Innovation served as the centerpiece of Kodak's booth. This 24-foot-long digital display featured a continuous stream of visual images representing solutions from Kodak. Surrounding the Pipeline of Innovation, a series of interactive modules with circular flatscreen displays delivered in-depth information in four market segments: commercial printing, packaging, publishing and data-driven communications. Printed samples representing the four market segments were shown in a new way. Each sample included an RFID tag that, when placed on a display table, activated a presentation showing how the piece was produced using KODAK Technologies. Another highlight of the booth was K-Zone, a live talk show set where discussions with industry experts took place throughout the show.
