Exhibition Insights

Equipment that demos, a brand seen from afar, a place to sit and talk. Two Nangang booths from Taiwan Industrial Week 2026 and TAITRONICS show how.

What goes into a booth design quote? We break down the 8 parts of a quote, the decisions that push costs up, and what to prepare so the quote you get is accurate.

A self-built booth needs four types of review documents: drawings, structural safety, utilities, and declarations. Most are due about one month before move-in.

At Nangang you need to check both the venue's technical rules and the show's exhibitor manual. We cover height limits and over-height applications, span support, column wrapping and fire safety, rigging, review deadlines, and move-in/move-out practice, using the Automation Taipei 2026 manual as an example.

If the design is mostly straight lines and modules, and you want a short build time and easy cost estimates, a modular system fits. If you need curves, large volumes, or special forms, custom-built fits. Many booths are actually a mix. We explain how to choose by structure, span, build time, and cost structure.

A multi-brand booth starts by agreeing on site conditions and zoning, then designing one overall form so each company is seen on its own side. Using a three-company island booth at Automation Taipei 2026, we cover zoning, storage rooms, power cost sharing, and move-in order.

Exhibition planning runs in 6 stages: brief, 3D proposal, final design and construction drawings, organizer review, graphics and fabrication, and move-in/move-out. For each stage we explain what the exhibitor provides, what we deliver, and how to schedule back from the organizer's deadlines.

Start with your exhibiting goals, then look at the booth's open sides. Next, set the heights and circulation for the header logo, key visual, displays, and meeting area, and finally work the schedule backward from the organizer's deadlines. Each step is explained with booths we have built.

COMPUTEX is held every early June at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center and Taipei World Trade Center, Hall 1. How to schedule from registration and booth allocation to move-in; for tech product booths, how to plan live demos, power, and logo height. Includes a COMPUTEX 2023 project.

When we build several booths at once, quality comes from one drawing format and one pre-issue checklist. Using three booths at Automation Taipei 2026, we explain what can be shared and what has to be done company by company.

Before looking for an exhibition design company, know the three types: design-led, build-led, and integrated design-and-build. In a pitch, look beyond the 3D images to as-built photos, construction drawings, venue rules, and your point of contact, and avoid the 5 most common gaps.

TAIPEI AMPA Booth Case Study: Three Brand Booths from 2025, Worth Reading Before AMPA 2027

A food-safety pavilion at Kaohsiung Food Show 2025: how the main stage, interactive experiences, and vendor sales area were arranged along the circulation; how the opening drum show, launch ceremony, guided tours, and challenge game fit into the show days; and how one team handled design, construction, events, and promotion.

Exhibiting at the 2027 Taipei International Book Exhibition? Using the 34th edition in 2026 as an example, we cover TWTC Hall 1 over-height and load rules, reader circulation in the booth, book-signing space layout, and a prep timeline counting back from the February show.

Taipei Building Show 2026 runs Dec 10–13 at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center, Hall 1. Using four of our booths from the 2024 show, we cover 4 ways to make building material samples the focus, and the review timeline counting back from December move-in.

To put an AI interactive installation in an exhibition booth, the space has to be ready first. We cover what 4 formats need (smart guides, vision-based interaction, AR/VR, touch and QR scanning) in terms of position, power, network, and queuing space, and how exhibitors, technology partners, and booth builders divide the work.
