Exhibition Stand Success Stories
At ISM 2025, Starsweets and Mirca Sweet House teamed up on the show floor with XDS-designed stands, combining forces while maintaining distinct identities. Together with our other exhibition projects at the event, these stands highlight how XDS delivers memorable, high-impact experiences that help brands stand out year after year—whether sharing the floor or taking center stage alone.
Starsweets @ ISM 2025
For Starsweets, we created a 21 sqm stand designed to maximize brand visibility and engagement. The layout emphasized product accessibility and showcased their latest offerings with a clean, modern design. Every detail—from lighting to graphics—was crafted to attract visitors and encourage meaningful conversations, resulting in high-quality leads throughout the show.
Mirca Sweet House @ ISM 2025
Mirca Sweet House shared the spotlight with a 12.5 sqm stand, seamlessly integrated next to Starsweets. Despite the smaller footprint, the stand made a big impression with clever use of space, impactful visuals, and functional zones for product tasting and demonstrations. The result was an engaging experience that left a lasting impression on attendees.
