March 13, 2019 By Elevation3D

SHREWSBURY, Mass. and LAS VEGAS, March 13, 2019 — Elevation3D, a full-service design, production, and face-to-face marketing firm, is proud to announce it has recently received three prominent awards for its exemplary work in the trade show and events industry.

In February 2019, EXHIBITOR Media Group hosted EXHIBITORLIVE, The Professional Development Conference for Trade Show and Corporate Event Marketing, at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. The four-day event hosts thousands of industry professionals, trade show and event agencies, and numerous other vendors. During the event, EXHIBITOR recognizes excellence in exhibiting and design through a series of awards.

Elevation3D was named Best of Show Small Booth Award winner for their custom-designed, interactive 10×20 linear exhibit. A panel of judges, including several corporate trade show marketers and event managers, evaluated hundreds of exhibits at the event and selected Elevation3D as the winner.

“Great booth appeal. A creative and engaging digital experience,” noted one judge. While another commented, “The technology makes you want to engage. They had a natural attraction.”
At the 2019 awards ceremony, Elevation3D also received the Portable/Modular Design People’s Choice Award for their 2018 EXHIBITORLIVE exhibit, receiving the most votes among 51 other exhibits in the category.

“We are proud to be recognized by our industry peers for creative and impactful use of a smaller exhibit space. It is a testament to our collaborative ability to create engaging experiences regardless of exhibit size,” remarked Dana Esposito, Vice President, Creative Services and EDPA Northeast President.

On February 26, 2019 EXHIBITOR Media Group announced its list of Top 40 Exhibit Producers, which honors the best firms in the trade show and event industry. Applicants are evaluated in eight categories, comprised of more than 50 individual criteria, including capabilities, service, reliability, and creativity. Points were awarded based on each company’s responses, as well as surveys completed by client references for each company. Elevation3D scored amongst the top firms in the Thought Leadership and Industry Participation category.

“I am incredibly proud of the dedication and innovation all of our people contribute to each and every project that we produce. It is an honor to be recognized for the high caliber work we put forth year after year, and to be among many of our respected peers on this list,” commented Elevation3D President, Ken Karns.

Elevation3D

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
