The Project
This was our first time working with Fitch Ratings, who found us via our website. They were looking for an events partner to create a sustainable modular exhibition stand with interactive elements to help them share their insights with delegates at their Credit Outlook 2025 event, held at Convene in Houndsditch, London.
The event, for economists, policymakers and investors, explored the key risks, challenges and opportunities ahead for the credit markets. It looked at how geopolitical risk, surging global debt levels, interest rate uncertainty, post-election policy impacts, and the outlook for emerging markets will shape the credit landscape in 2025.
Fitch needed an interactive stand that would serve as a networking and information hub in between the keynote speeches and presentations on the conference agenda.
The Solution
We created a simple modular exhibition stand using beMatrix frames and LEDskin components. It featured a single back wall with LED tiles that played corporate video content.
A freestanding interactive touchscreen display unit allowed visitors to view and download PDF brochures, video insights and other information from the presentations.
Although the design was clean and minimalist, we added visual interest with bespoke LED lighting to illuminate the Fitch Ratings logo on the stand. We also created a custom-printed floor which hid all the stand’s wiring and electrics. The stand is reusable, and we’re currently storing it for the client for use at similar events across Europe throughout 2025.
The event’s central London venue was the biggest challenge with this project. Car parking and access to the venue to unload the stand was limited. We had only four hours to build the stand and an hour to take it out. But, because we have vast experience working in this part of London and used modular components for the stand, we were able to fit within these guidelines and ensure a smooth and swift install and takedown.
The Impact
Our stand created a focal point for the event, drawing delegates into meaningful conversations about Fitch Ratings’ market insights.
The integrated LED screen and interactive touchscreen display transformed the complex presentations into accessible, engaging content.
Visitors could explore and download materials at their own pace, while the illuminated 3D logo and custom floor created a sophisticated backdrop for networking.
The stand’s blend of digital and physical elements helped Fitch Ratings showcase its expertise in a format that resonated with delegates at all levels throughout the event.
