Mentoring Recharges Industry Pros

April 4, 2018 By Elevation3D

A decade ago, Dana Esposito met Professor Bonnie Higgins at ExhibitorLive!. Higgins, who teaches at Bemidji State University, quickly gathered that Esposito is a friendly and active professional in the industry. She invited Esposito to become a mentor through the University Affiliations Committee with the Experiential Design Professionals Association.

Esposito would be paired with a student enrolled in the exhibit design programs at BSU or the Fashion Institute of Technology. Esposito, who is a creative director at Elevation Exhibits in Shrewsbury, Mass., would guide the student with her designs and introduce her to the world of exhibitions.

When Esposito learned of the program, she knew that she had to become the mentor she wished she had as a student. “When I got my start, the industry was not a warm and fuzzy place,” said Esposito, who entered the industry when the economy was down and the competition fierce. Wherever she worked, she encountered an us-versus-them culture.

In her heart, Esposito sees colleagues, other professionals and companies as pieces to the puzzle of the exhibitions industry.

Exhibit with AR Experience

Project brief

EXHIBITORLIVE is the trade show event for trade show professionals. In a room of exhibit producers selling many of the same services and skills, we wanted to stand out with from the crowd with our core differentiator: partnership. We knew we had to exemplify our message.

The solution

Evaluating the demographics of our audience as well as their own experience at the event, we created an opportunity for the audience to tune out the noise of the floor and experience powerful (and entertaining) moments of listening.

We created an AR experience in which users scanned one of the letters on our bold LISTEN wall, which then played an audio clip or music mash-up and custom video. Each graphic of the LISTEN wall corresponded directly to the theme of the AV clip.

FM Global

Custom Exhibit + Immersive Content Creations

Project brief

FM Global is a prominent brand within the insurance and risk management industry and is heavily sought out on the trade show floor. They wanted to create a new interactive experience that would reinforce their brand as a forward-thinking leader in research and partnership.

At its largest, the exhibit would display at 20’x80’, but needed to be modular and scalable to 20’x30’ and 40’x50’ configurations as well, without sacrificing core experiential elements. FM Global tasked Elevation3D with designing and constructing a new exhibit as well as concepting and developing the technology experience for their exhibit.

The exhibit

There were several unique messages to convey to FM Global’s audience, including a first-of-its-kind research campus, a new facility in Asia-Pacific, and the unique roles of the FM Global team. Without a tangible product to display, their story and services needed to be communicated in a unique, memorable way.

Exterior

Elevation3D created a cohesive exterior concept, using LED tiles on the exterior of five archways to play a series synchronized videos featuring actual FM Global employees. The videos included both live action and animated graphics that were eye-catching from all angles of the booth exterior. Continuing the exterior content, interior arches displayed an interactive carousel from which audiences used gesture-based technology to select a team member and play a video, all of which was captured by Elevation3D.

Key Features

  • Scalable from 20’x30’ to 20’x80’
  • Custom media content creation
  • Immersive technology
  • 198 LED tiles
  • (2) Best of Show Awards

Interior

Moving toward the center of the exhibit, a touchscreen monitor allowed audiences to select a tour of the multi-faceted research campus in the United States, or the new facility in Asia.

Each campus tour was displayed on a large LED monitor and included several videos that utilized both B-roll footage and 2D graphics to highlight the key features and research benefits of each campus. In addition to the composition, editing, and graphics for each video, Elevation3D also provided the scriptwriting and voiceover recordings.

Vibrant 2D graphics capturing key brand messages were also incorporated throughout the space. A hospitality area featured tablets where guests could choose to experience the content from all of the other archways, as well as additional digital information either on their own or with an FM Global staff member.

Content Creation

In addition to the media content created for the exhibit, Elevation3D also created a promotional video that was used on the event channel at host hotels as well as throughout the exhibit hall.

This engaging and attention-grabbing exhibit was scalable to several footprints. It not only impressed audiences and competitors alike, but it also received Best of Show at RIMS 2019 where it debuted.

NEC Display Solutions

Custom Exhibit with AV Integration

Project brief

NEC Display Solutions showcases their extensive product line at several trade shows throughout the year. They wanted an exhibit space that integrated their products and had a clean, modern design.

The solution

We created a bold structure that was impactful from the exterior and interior. NEC’s innovative solutions were integrated into the booth design and layout to showcase product performance and elevate the aesthetic.

Large archways were eye-catching and strategically efficient. The archways created distinction between different markets the solutions were intended for, provided storage, and created support to mount products such as projectors. Products were prominent and easily accessible for audience interaction.

In contrast with the large black and white structural components, bold graphics and digital signage illuminated the space from all angles.

Key Features

  • Scales from 50×60 to 60×80
  • Easy access storage
  • Semi-private meeting space
  • Prominent branding
  • Best of Show DSE and Best of Show InfoComm
