What is a shell
scheme?
Shell scheme refers to the standard type of stand or booth assigned to exhibitors when booking a space. Essentially, a shell scheme features a box style design supported by vertical poles. It's important to note that shell schemes can vary, with each provider offering different sizes and shapes.

Cost effective shell schemes
Our shell scheme panels are Velcro compatible, making it much easier for exhibitors to dress their stands. In venues where ceiling height restrictions apply, we can reduce the height of the exhibition stands from 2.4 metres to 2 metres. This is particularly useful in hotels and smaller conference venues.

Let us manage the exhibitors while you concentrate on the event. Our team can provide online exhibitor portals, handle all inquiries about package entitlements, space utilisation, and equipment hire on your behalf.

Furniture
hire
Creating the right impression on your exhibition stand is essential to the success of the event. We stock a large and diverse range of exhibition furniture hire items including counters, displays, tables and chairs to complement your stand.

Spatial Interpenetration
Spatial interpenetration involves the intentional overlapping or integration of spaces, creating dynamic and interconnected zones. On the other hand, spatial isolation emphasises the distinct separation of areas for specific purposes or exhibitors.
We keenly pay attention to your goals and expectations and then design the floor plan that suits your ideas.EMS Events offers custom exhibition stands as well as off the shelf options.
We are adept at balancing spatial interpenetration and isolation based on the client’s goals. We excel in creative design and visually engaging layouts with interconnected spaces while also offering options for discrete, standalone areas to meet diverse exhibition needs.

Matrix-like arrangement
This layout involves a grid or matrix-like arrangement of exhibition stands, offering a structured and organised display. Each stand is positioned within the matrix, creating a visually cohesive and easy-to-navigate setup. We make practical and innovative floor plans that suit your exhibition objectives.
Our ability to design and implement matrix-like arrangements involves creativity and experience.
