Next Show–NEC Birmingham

LAMMA 2027 is a major farming event and the UK’s leading agricultural machinery, equipment, and technology show.

Taking place annually at the NEC Birmingham, the event features over 800 exhibitors across 12 halls, showcasing tractors, combines and digital farming.

Exhibition Stand Design at LAMMA

LAMMA offers an invaluable opportunity for businesses, as it brings them face-to-face with over 40,000 agricultural professionals, eager to learn and to buy. 

Since the show is centred on equipment, stands should be designed with products as the focus. Large machinery requires a specific design approach, positioning branding carefully so that the stand does not appear cluttered or busy. 

Height is one of your greatest assets. If your budget allows for it, build to the maximum height to ensure visibility, and declutter lower graphics. In most cases, it is better to use imagery and negative space around machinery, so that products are not overwhelmed, limiting information to other segments of the stand. A professional stand designer can help you to use NFC tech and QR codes to refer to more detailed product information. 

The farming industry has the benefit of beautiful panoramic landscapes and scenes. Use these to make stands more attractive and compelling, and to create a point of difference among info-based stands. Both SMEs and industry stalwarts can benefit from professional exhibition stand design advice when preparing for this event.
