Exhibition Advice for Exhibitors at DSEI Germany

Here at Quadrant2Design, we are well-practised with DSEI, and we’ve picked up some tricks along the way. Our top advice:

  • Book early: With the recent success of DSEI UK, which was bigger and more influential than any previous editions, DSEI Germany is likely to sell out fast. Make sure to reserve your space.
  • Use Bold Colours: DSEI is renowned for blue, white and black stands. Choosing a bold colour scheme, or even just a bold accent colour, can make it easier to create a point of difference and stand out from competitors.
  • Bring Your Most Experienced Team: Budget-holders will be looking for credibility, longevity and trust signals. At this event, it is vital to bring only your most experienced team.
