Grand Stand Events

28/05/2026

The Restaurant & Foodservice Show 2026 was a big one for the team, with multiple exhibition spaces delivered across the venue, all with different layouts, products, and goals.

What people don’t always see is everything happening behind the scenes during bump in. While exhibitors are organising stock, staffing, AV testing, and final setup touches, our team is simultaneously building stands, installing signage and lighting, solving problems on the fly, and making sure every detail comes together on time.

It’s a fast-paced environment with a lot of moving parts, which makes watching the team stay calm, communicate, and consistently deliver such a high standard even more impressive.

By show open, visitors see polished stands, incredible brands, and a buzzing exhibition hall. What they don’t see is the amount of teamwork, experience, and coordination it takes to make every space ready for that moment.

A huge thank you to our clients for trusting us to deliver. We hope you had a fantastic show!

A few weeks ago, Christian hosted his annual fundraiser night in support of Variety – the Children’s Charity — and the support shown by his community was incredible.

Thanks to everyone who attended, donated, sponsored, bid, or supported the night in any way, $14,475 was raised on the evening, ontop of vehicle sponsorship pledges.

Most importantly, these funds will help support children and families across NSW and the ACT who need it most.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed and helped make the night what it was. The support around this event each year is something genuinely special to see.

There’s still opportunity for businesses to get involved through vehicle sponsorships, with logo placements available from $1,000.

Thank you again to everyone continuing to support such an important cause!

As National Volunteer Week continues across Australia this week (18–24 May), we wanted to take a moment to recognise some of the incredible people within our team who quietly give their time, energy, and support to causes far beyond the event industry.

We’re incredibly proud of our team. Not just for the work they do professionally, but for the contribution they make within the broader community too.

A closer look at the details of our Porta build - turning residential building materials into an immersive exhibition environment.

12/05/2026

Take a walkthrough of one of our most detailed builds of the year for at the 2026 Trade Expo

The goal was to make the stand feel less like an exhibition space and more like an actual build site you could walk through and explore.

Key Features:

• Exposed timber framing
• Walk-on transparent flooring
• Integrated product displays
• Custom shelving and feature zones
• Overhead illuminated signage
• Built for national rollout

Projects like this are why we love product-led exhibition design.

6 stands. ~500sqm. 12 days.

One of those builds that takes a lot behind the scenes… but comes together exactly how it should.

Behind it all:

• 4 months of planning
• 5 day bump-in
• 3 semi-trailers of stock
• multiple crews building side by side
..AND with over 90% of materials either reused or recyclable.

A huge team effort, and one we’re always proud to be part of.
