Exhibition stand design for IDEX 2027
Built around the way you exhibit.
25–29 January 2027
ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi · Abu Dhabi, UAE
Plan a stand with clear circulation, considered display space and room for focused meetings. Bring the practical requirements together before comparing design and construction proposals.
Define the space before the finishes.
A useful stand starts with its daily use: how visitors arrive, where the team meets them and what needs to remain out of the public areas. Plan those requirements together so the layout supports both short introductions and longer conversations.
Use your allocated space, meeting plans, display dimensions and storage needs to build a consistent brief. Ask each builder to explain the structure, materials, graphics, furniture and installation responsibilities behind the proposal.

Plan your IDEX stand in Abu Dhabi.
IDEX, the International Defence Exhibition and Conference, is scheduled for 25–29 January 2027 at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi. For stand planning, begin with your allocated hall, dimensions and the current exhibitor requirements.
Keep the stand-construction brief specific to the space: circulation, meeting rooms, graphics, furniture and day-to-day use. Check event participation, access and venue requirements through the relevant official channels before finalising the build programme.

One stand brief. Up to 3 proposals.
Set the requirements
Share dimensions, open sides, meeting capacity, display-space needs and budget priorities. Include the hall allocation and exhibitor manual when available.
Compare the approach
Review up to 3 proposals against the same brief. Compare layout, materials, furniture, graphics, installation, dismantling and exclusions—not only the visual concept.
Agree the responsibilities
Discuss the programme and commercial terms with your chosen builder. Confirm inclusions, specialist-supplier responsibilities and any outstanding permissions before work begins.
Make every part of the stand useful.
Meeting rooms, reception points and open display areas need to work together. Leave enough circulation for visitors and staff, make the entrance easy to understand and consider where everyday items will be stored. A clear plan can keep service areas from competing with public-facing space.
Check delivery, handling, access and venue-service requirements early with the appropriate suppliers. The stand proposal should identify who coordinates each item and which costs or approvals sit outside the builder's scope. Do not treat an attractive rendering as a complete construction agreement.
Questions before you compare builders
When and where is IDEX 2027?
The event is scheduled for 25–29 January 2027 at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Check the Official Website for current event information.
What should go into a stand brief?
Include stand dimensions, open sides, hall and stand allocation if known, meeting-room needs, reception, storage, display-space requirements and budget priorities. Add the exhibitor manual and any venue guidance you have received.
Can the stand include meeting rooms and reception space?
Include both in your brief, with the expected seating and circulation requirements. Ask builders to show how the meeting areas relate to the entrance, open display space and staff storage.
What does “up to 3 proposals” mean?
The quotation service is intended to help you compare up to 3 stand-builder proposals based on one brief. Review the scope, suitability and commercial terms of each proposal before choosing a builder.
Are installation and dismantling included?
Ask for both to be itemised, including the programme, handover and removal responsibilities. Venue services and other specialist costs should be shown separately where applicable.
Can I use the form before my stand allocation is confirmed?
Yes. Write “Not allocated yet” in the stand-size field and explain what you know in the notes. Confirm the final dimensions and applicable requirements before agreeing a build.
Does the stand brief cover event participation or access?
No. Use the Official Website for event participation and access information. Confirm any venue or organiser requirements with the appropriate official channels; a construction proposal is not an admission or participation approval.
Will the preview send my enquiry?
No. The demo checks your entries on this page, but nothing is sent or stored. Do not include confidential documents, personal identification details or sensitive information.
A better-defined brief is a stronger starting point.
