BETTER STANDS
Through our commitment to the evolution of the events industry, we aim to ensure that we are delivering the best possible experience for our customers. That is why, we at Informa, have created the industry-wide campaign Better Stands.
Better Stands focuses on uniting exhibitors, contractors and the wider event industry to move away from disposable, single-use stands at our events, in favour of reusable structures. We believe that by moving away from the use of disposable stands we will improve the ease, quality, safety and sustainability of the exhibitor experience at our events.
This year is about educating clients and contractors about Informa’s Better Stands initiative, providing information on how you can help us move away from disposable stands together. The regulations for 2025 will see the bronze level enforced for all space-only clients. Now’s the time to start taking action and get ahead of the game. Why not set yourself up this year so you are in the best position to make your commitment in the future and try to achieve the highest rating possible!
Please have a read through the Better Stands Exhibitor Information Guide to get more information about the campaign!
