Shell Scheme Stands
A shell scheme package consists of:

These stands are built from Octonorm shell scheme with white foamed boards to form the walls. These can be left white, or printed – see images below.
Space Only Stands
‘Space only’ stands are for rental of the floor space only. This gives you creative control to design your stand from scratch.
• Your space only stand space will be marked out on the floor with tape at the edges
• You will need to arrange all content for your stand space, including any power and furniture
• Space only stands are not suitable for pop ups. If you have this type of stand, please order shell scheme
Shell scheme: Branding & Extras
Use the Exhibitor Shop for all branding and stand extras (furniture, carpet & power).
Use the code: ABN_2026_ICCB to order.
The Exhibitor Shop will work with you to enhance your stand with furniture, carpet and branding. Graphic panels can be inserted which show the metal panel dividers (as per the example above), or seamless, which will give one continuous graphic across your wall.
Printing costs vary depending on your design. The cost per panel starts at £210+VAT. Please email us to discuss your printing requirements and to arrange a quote.
The deadline for arranging any extras or branding is Thur 9 April.
Space only: Your build
If you choose a space only option, we expect you to build your own pre-designed bespoke exhibition stand, and not bring along a pop-up style stand – see examples above.
If your stand adjoins another space, the exterior facing walls should be finished and painted in a neutral colour.
• Maximum height build is 2.8m
• Unless you are on the perimeter of the exhibition, all non-shared sides of your stand must be open
No electrical provision is included with your booking. To arrange power, plus any extras, please go to the Exhibitor Shop.
