Award-Winning Exhibition Stand Design: What Sets Imagine Events Apart

Every Imagine Events exhibition stand starts with the same intention: make the experience worthwhile for the people who step onto it. That focus has shaped the way we work for nearly 30 years, so receiving two ESSA Awards this year is something we’re delighted about. It’s a moment that highlights the commitment our team puts into every exhibition stand we design and build.

These wins capture the approach we bring to all our work: clear thinking, purposeful design and dependable delivery. It’s a way of working we’re proud of, and one that continues to help our clients achieve more from their exhibitions, whether we’re producing modular exhibition stands, bespoke builds or full-scale environments.

Winning across two categories (over 30sqm and under 30sqm) says something important about our team. It shows that the principles we work by apply whatever the brief, whatever the size, whatever the setting. From tightly defined footprints to larger exhibition spaces, the same thinking carries through: clarity, purpose and design that earns its place.

For us, these awards are as much about the processes behind our exhibition stand design as they are about the stands themselves. The early sketches. The design debates. The refinements. The technical decisions that make a build run smoothly on site. The coordination that ensures a space feels ready when the doors open. It’s the combination of those elements that these awards allow us to acknowledge and appreciate.

And that’s what makes the recognition meaningful. It reflects the way our designers, project managers, builders and installers collaborate. It shows the value of approaching every stand, big or small, with the same level of focus. It speaks to the trust our clients place in us, and the responsibility we feel to honour that trust through high-quality exhibition stand design and reliable delivery.

Exhibitionology captures this balance. It isn’t just a formula; it’s a mindset. A way of designing with intention, building with precision and staying close to our clients’ goals at every stage. These awards simply shine a light on a way of working we’ve been refining for three decades.

Awards are a welcome moment of celebration, but their real value lies in what they say about the way we support our clients. Exhibition design is never just about creating something that looks good in a photograph. It’s about building spaces that work; spaces that welcome visitors, support conversations and create an environment where a brand can show its best side.

That’s why our approach matters. Clear thinking means fewer compromises. Purposeful design means every element earns its place. Dependable delivery means clients arrive on-site knowing their stand will be ready, considered and aligned with their goals. It’s the foundation of every project we take on, and it’s the reason so many brands choose to work with us year after year.

Being recognised as an award-winning exhibition stand design agency simply reinforces that the things we prioritise make a genuine difference on the show floor. Exhibitors get a space they can trust, one that supports their objectives and gives their team confidence from the moment the doors open.

As we move towards our thirtieth year, these ESSA Awards feel like a timely reminder of what matters most to us. Not the spotlight, but the standard. The consistency.  Exhibitionology will continue to guide the way we work: thoughtful design, precise delivery and a clear understanding of what brands need from their exhibitions. It’s an approach shaped by decades of experience, and one we continue to refine with every project, every brief and every conversation on a show floor.

We’re proud of what these awards represent, proud of the team who made them possible and proud of the trust our clients place in us. And as we look to the year ahead, we’re excited to keep building exhibition stands that serve with purpose, perform with confidence and give exhibitors the best possible foundation for success.

Here’s to what’s next.
