https://adamexpostand.com/custom-exhibit-booth-design-build-guide/A custom exhibit booth typically takes 8–12 weeks from brief to build-up, and the decisions that cost exhibitors the most are made early: structure before drawings, content before print.

In this episode of the Adam Expo Stand podcast, we cover:

- How a custom booth project runs from brief to build-up, and where the schedule slips

- Planning cost ranges per m² for custom, modular and shell scheme stands

- Why freezing structure before drawings and content before print protects your budget

- What to ask your builder about venue technical manuals at IFEMA Madrid, Fira Barcelona and other European venues

- One practical step to take this week if you exhibit in the next six months

We have spent 15+ years building stands for 639+ exhibitors across Europe, and we offer a free 3D design concept in 24 hours. This episode distils what we put in our complete guide so you can brief a builder with confidence.

A good exhibition stand is decided in the brief and the floor plan, not on build-up day: write a one-page brief, draw the layout around visitor flow, then check it against the venue rules before choosing a single material.

In this episode of the Adam Expo Stand podcast, we cover:

- Why most stand redesigns happen at build-up, and how a one-page brief prevents them

- Drawing the floor plan around visitor flow: entrance, meeting area and storage

- How venue rules change a layout, for example Fira Barcelona Gran Via's technical guide (15 kg/m² load limit, 0.80 m clear exits)

- Why timing matters: in Adam Expo Stand data from 639+ projects, commissioning design 4-6 months ahead tends to save 12-18%, while under 4 weeks can carry a 25-40% premium

- A practical route from concept to production to installation

Adam Expo Stand has designed and built stands for exhibitors across Europe for 15+ years, with a free 3D design concept in 24 hours.

Empack Madrid 2026 runs 11–12 November at IFEMA Madrid (Halls 2, 4 & 6), co-located with Logistics & Automation, with roughly 25,000 m² of exhibition space. Here's what exhibitors need to know about stand design, the new Smart Badge tech, and getting your booth build booked before the halls fill up.

In this episode of the Adam Expo Stand podcast, we cover:

• Key dates, halls, and what co-location with Logistics & Automation means for stand placement

• What the 25,000 m² floor plan and last edition's 46,000+ commercial interactions and 76 leads/stand average tell exhibitors about booth strategy

• The 2026 edition's Smart Badge tech for digital business-card exchange — and how to design a stand that makes use of it

• Common stand-design mistakes that quietly cut into lead capture at packaging trade shows

• Why a fast turnaround (Adam Expo Stand offers a free 3D design concept in 24 hours) matters when booking close to the show

With 23% of exhibitors coming from outside Spain, Empack Madrid 2026 is one of the larger packaging and logistics events on the European calendar this year — and stand design is one of the few levers exhibitors fully control.
