Client : PADI

Event: EUDI Show (Bologna)
Stand Size: 160 sqm

An island stand built for maximum visibility and smooth visitor flow. The 6 meter tower placed on the high-traffic front side acted as a powerful landmark, featuring an LED wall and large PADI logos positioned along the upper side walls to ensure the brand was instantly recognisable from a distance.

The layout combined a welcoming info desk, comfortable seating areas, and distinct collaborator zones—each clearly branded while keeping the overall experience cohesive. An additional storage area was integrated to support team logistics and keep the booth clutter-free throughout the event.

As a long-term partner, PADI trusts XDS to maintain consistent branding at major European shows, from Bologna to Paris and Düsseldorf.

Client : Muya A.Ş.

Event: MICAM (Milan)
Stand Size: 96 sqm

An island stand with multiple open entry points, designed to present Muya’s footwear collection with the feel of a premium retail space. The outer perimeter featured storefront-style glass shelves, accented with LED strips and a branded lightbox to highlight key products and draw visitors in from every direction. Inside, sofa seating areas and additional display cabinets created a comfortable, boutique-like environment for browsing and buyer meetings, all unified by custom vinyl flooring for a clean, cohesive look.

The result: a compact yet polished stand that helped Muya attract consistent foot traffic and engage international buyers effectively.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I hire a stand builder familiar with BolognaFiere or bring my own team?

Working with a company that already understands BolognaFiere’s regulations, logistics, and build schedules can save a lot of stress. A team experienced with BolognaFiere exhibition stands ensures smoother approvals, fewer delays, and a setup that fits the venue’s requirements. Bringing your own team is possible, but expect a learning curve with the venue’s rules and timelines.

Are there reliable full-service options for international exhibitors?

Absolutely. Bologna hosts major global events, and many exhibitors choose a full-service partner who can handle design, construction, logistics, installation, and dismantling. A professional exhibition booth contractor in Bologna, like XDS, experienced with international brands can manage everything from concept to on-site execution.

What is the cost range for building a stand in Bologna?

Small basic modular booths (under 20sqm) usually start around €5,000-€10,000. Custom designs typically range between €10,000-€40,000 depending on size, features, and finishing. Premium builds, double-deck stands, or advanced tech increase the cost. Early planning always provides more flexibility and better pricing.

How can we attract Italian and international visitors effectively?

Open layouts, strong lighting, and interactive elements always help. Clear messaging in English and Italian boosts engagement, and product demos or samples work extremely well at Bologna events. A smart design from experienced BolognaFiere exhibition stand builders can help guide visitor flow and maximize visibility.

Is it safe to leave products or equipment overnight at BolognaFiere?

BolognaFiere provides general hall security, but exhibitors are responsible for protecting their own items after hours. Since lockers are limited and additional security guards come at extra cost, most brands choose to have secure storage built directly into their stand, such as lockable cabinets or a full storage room. This ensures your products, equipment, and personal belongings stay safely on-site throughout the show.

How early should I book a stand builder for Bologna trade shows?

For busy shows like Cosmoprof, Marca, Autopromotec, or EUDI Show, it’s best to book 3-6 months ahead. This gives enough time for design iterations, cost optimization, and technical planning.

Can XDS handle urgent or last-minute projects?

Yes – tight timelines may involve higher costs for rush production, but an experienced exhibition booth contractor in Bologna, such as XDS, can still deliver a high-quality stand quickly, even if your previous supplier canceled or you’re behind schedule.
