Our largest project of the year to date. Pfizer took the main hospitality suite at SASMO/ SASCRO Oncology medical congress in August.  This entailed treating the entire stage at the Sun City Superbowl. We chose a concept that was quick to install. All external walls where inflatable and internally lit with colour changing LED lighting. This created a soft space that was inviting, comfortable and an escape from the business of conferencing and the main show floor for doctors. Features included: 1. Air-roof entrance 2.Read More

Event and Exhibition Tips: Security

Event and Exhibition Tips: Security The sad reality is that theft at South African exhibition and conference venues  is endemic. Both stand builders and other contractors as well as exhibitors are constantly besieged. As a stand building company we constantly have a steady trickle of theft onsite. Power Drills, small tools, ladders, wrapping material, furniture (how do you walk off with a 3 seater couch?)…even our lunch is thieved. Insuring for this type of site work is prohibitively expensive, reactive and soRead More

Modern Garden Company

Occasionally one comes across a furnishing company that has mind-blowing pieces. It’s the stuff that Interior Designers, Architects and those with taste dream about. The Modern Garden Company in Cape Town is one of those companies with just such furnishings. No doubt the price tags are probably not to most of our palettes, but its great to look at. Eye-candy for designers. I will for one will be looking for future projects where I can acquire a decent budget to use such items as these.

Another succesful Clicks Congress for Pharmaplan at the Cape Town Convention Centre (CTICC) Once again the photobooth was instituted on this stand and once again the poor photographer (me) was inundated. Each picture taken was printed  and branded with Pharmaplans key product logo’s and given to the delegates as a memento of the show. Feedback from the 2010 congress suggests that many of last years prints are still displayed on office, hospital and practice walls…carrying the company name and brands wellRead More

The inception chair

Every so often one has to blog off topic. Well not entirely off topic, but away from the norm. The inception chair is something i discovered today on twitter and it is genius. Simple, functional and just downright cool. It was designed by Vivian Chiu and is a series of ten interlocking chairs made of ash, meant to mimic the dream-within-a-dream concept from the 2010 film Inception. To me this is what Po refers to as pure awesomeness The restRead More
