Hi Wiebke
The stand looked great and the feedback from the show was fantastic.
A very busy event and we have signed up for the same stand for 2028.

The project manager Yun did a super job, nothing was outstanding or late, perfect 👍
Overall excellent!

Hi Wiebke
It was a huge success, and we had so many positive comments on the branding and the stand.
Someone did actually go to the show on Friday and did a 10 minute video interview with Jerome about the stand and our experiences, so hopefully they have everything you need.
Thank you so much for your help getting us started on this journey, we were thrilled with the finished product.
Many Thanks

Hi Wiebke,
I am very well thank you. I hope you are too 😊?
I’m pleased to say that everything went very well, and our on-site team were very happy with the exhibition stand. In particular, they said how the new graphics freshened the stand up and made a big difference compared with the last show we did.
Regarding my experience this time; as usual, the timelines provided were clear and well managed throughout. Communication from our project manager and the wider team was also consistent and reliable, which of course made the process clearer from start to finish.
Overall, it was another positive experience, and I appreciate the work from everyone involved.
Many thanks

Hi Wiebke,
Apologies for the delay with this, hope you’re well.
Please see below:
- Very quick and professional turnaround as we were on a tight schedule to get everything sorted for CNE 2026
- Excellent communication
- Understood the design and look that we were trying to achieve
- Quick and efficient at build and break days – stand was ready to go and was dismantled when we arrived with friendly, knowledgeable staff at both the handovers
- Everything and everyone were kept in the loop e.g. between Quadrant/event organisers/furniture suppliers/electrics
Many thanks again 😊

Hi Wiebke,
Thank you for your email.
The show went really well, thank you, and we were extremely happy with our Prestige Exhibition Stand.
The stand looked fantastic and received a lot of positive feedback from both our team and visitors. It was a significant upgrade from the stands we have used at previous exhibitions and really helped us stand out on the day.
I would also like to thank the entire team. Everyone we worked with throughout the process was friendly, professional and incredibly helpful. From the planning stages through to the build and support at the event, the experience was seamless, and I cannot thank the team enough for all their hard work.
We are very pleased with the outcome and look forward to working with you again on our future exhibitions.
Thank you once again for all your support.
Kind Regards

Hi Wiebke,
Apologies for the delay in getting back to you—there’s been a lot to catch up on in Dublin following the show.
Overall, I was very pleased with the exhibition stand, and it received great feedback from both colleagues and visitors.
We have provisionally booked a similar exhibition space for next year, so we are hopeful the stand can be reused in 2027 without the need for a redesign.
Thanks
