A Visit to The Recruitment Agency Expo 2026

Held at Excel London on the 16–17th March, The Recruitment Agency Expo once again proved itself as a key event in the industry calendar. The show featured 60 free seminars, over 100 exhibitors showcasing leading industry solutions, and more than 50 expert speakers sharing valuable insights within the recruitment sector.

This year’s headline sponsor, and one of our newest clients, was Devyce. Their AI-powered communication system is designed to enrich customer relations data and help companies boost productivity, making them an exciting addition to the event sponsor list.

Join us as we take a closer look at our clients’ exhibition stands and how each one stood out on a busy show floor.

Each of Quadrant2Design’s clients at The Recruitment Agency Expo took a different design approach, demonstrating the flexibility and creativity of custom-modular exhibition stands.

• Itris opted for a dark and bold aesthetic, using subtle, high-quality graphics to draw attention without overwhelming the space. This approach made it easier for visitors to focus on the team and clearly understand the messaging on the stand. A particularly creative feature was their “X marks the spot” photo-finish floor, a clever nod to their main software, itris X, which added both personality and interaction to the stand.

• In contrast, Logic Melon embraced a vibrant and playful design at the expo. Their bright and colourful branding helped them stand out in a crowded exhibition hall. Eye-catching features such as a large backlit watermelon character and a watermelon-themed edge-lit acrylic display case ensured they were grabbing attention from every passer-by. The stand was energetic, memorable, and perfectly aligned with their brand identity.

• Working with a larger floor space, Tracker RMS made the most of their 6mx3m stand by combining strong visual impact with practical functionality. The stand featured industry imagery paired with a bold and colourful photo-floor, creating a professional yet engaging environment. Two pillars connected to the main structure through archways added depth and structure, each displaying branded messaging. These pillars also housed product demo stations on either side, allowing the team to guide visitors easily. This setup enabled four or more product demonstrations to take place simultaneously, ensuring the stand remained active and productive throughout the show.

• Our final client at this year’s show was Devyce, who, in addition to being a main sponsor, were exhibiting on a larger floor space for the first time. They wanted a stand that reflected their rapid growth and strong presence in the industry. Giving our design team full creative freedom, the result was a bold purple, 360-degree branded stand with clear and confident product messaging. The clean and simplistic graphic design allowed for a feature-rich build. The stand included three separate counter demo spaces, backlit product icons, illuminated showcases, and integrated storage. These elements combined to create a space that was not only visually striking but also highly functional, supporting the team in achieving their objectives throughout the event.

The Recruitment Agency Expo continues to go from strength to strength, attracting more exhibitors, speakers, and visitors each year. Based on this year’s success, we fully expect to see our clients return next year, making the most of their reusable and reconfigurable exhibition stands once again.

Even our very own Maggie Clemence, who attended the event, took part in a short interview on The Recruitment Agency Expo streamed podcast to speak on the show. She discussed its growth, the success of our clients, and the importance of strong exhibition stand design in such a developing environment.
