Riaans Designs Builds EMBED’s Trade Show Exhibit, USA
The new trend in event marketing is converting old shipping containers to match your vision for trade shows. Who better to craft this cutting-edge display-booth than the creative minds at Riaans Designs?
EMBED, with offices in Asia, are the world leaders of cashless business management solutions for the gaming industry, mobile wallet, card readers, game cards, and more. Innovative technology demands an innovative platform of sale, and EMBED contracted Riaan to construct a memorable exhibition experience.
The brief was to build a container booth that would outshine the many stands at the Gaming Trade Show in Orlando Florida in 2019. The EMBED Booth went on to win “Best Booth Design” at the New Orleans Gaming & Entertainment Trade Show in 2020.
Using the highest print quality and wrap graphics, the build team could feature EMBED’s customized branding. The AV capabilities afforded the opportunity of installing screens for interactive client opportunities and social media experiences, allowing customers to linger longer at the EMBED booth.
The stylishly red-painted and wrapped EMBED booth’s dimensions are 20x40 feet, double-deck, three-sided with a front open wall, and a set of movable and lockable stairs to walk clients up to the cocktail hour top-deck. All furniture and tall-boy tables can be included.
Riaans Designs will handle your logistics of sourcing the container, flatbed transportation to the exhibition state in the USA, and storage between events. Send us an email when you are ready to convert a shipping container into your next trade show exhibit!
