Exhibition Stand Builder for International Confex
International Confex runs 3–4 March 2027 at ExCeL London, where 330-plus exhibitors — venues, destinations, AV suppliers and event-tech brands — meet an audience of professional event organisers, agencies and corporate buyers. We build exhibition stands at ExCeL, in custom wooden construction or on our DUM FLEX™ frame; our work at this venue includes a 45 m² DUM FLEX stand for EKA Elevator with integrated profile lighting and a 54 m² custom wooden stand for Teknik Döküm with an open frontage built for technical conversations.
Get a quote →Your stand's audience already knows how a stand is built
International Confex's visitors are professional event organisers, agencies and corporate buyers who come to commission venues, destinations, AV suppliers and event-tech brands — on the organiser's own figures, more than half plan budgets above £200,000. They notice a stand's finish, lighting and flow because judging exactly that is their day job.
What that changes about the brief
A seam that sits slightly off, a cable left visible, or graphics that do not quite line up read differently to this audience than to a general trade buyer who is looking at the product on the stand rather than the stand itself. We build to hold up at the distance this particular audience actually inspects from, not just from the aisle.
Custom wooden construction or DUM FLEX
A one-off stand in custom wooden construction photographs as a single piece and suits a brand making a statement for this specific show. Our DUM FLEX™ frame builds the same quality of finish from a reusable profile system, which matters more if Confex is one of several shows your brand exhibits at across the year.
A space-only plot is where a custom build starts
At Confex, a fully custom stand needs a space-only plot — a footprint with no shell attached, so the structure, the branding and the lighting are yours to design from the floor up.
What a custom build gives you
On a space-only plot, you decide the layout, the finish and the lighting from the ground up, in either custom wooden construction or on our DUM FLEX™ frame — not a shared format that reads close to identical from the aisle.
Built to come back
A stand built for Confex this year can be struck, stored and rebuilt for a different footprint at your next show. The more shows your brand exhibits at across the year, the more that matters.
Confex, Event Production Show and The PA Show share a floor, not a brief
International Confex co-locates with Event Production Show and The PA Show, so the stands either side of yours on the day are often selling to adjacent but different buyers — venues and destinations on one side, production and technical suppliers on the other, PA professionals wherever that show sits on the floor.
We design the stand around the buyer you are actually there for, rather than trying to speak to all three audiences off one graphic panel. A stand that states a single clear offer reads better across a co-located floor than one trying to cover every visitor type walking past.
If your brand genuinely sells to more than one of the three shows, a stand with a shared base structure and swappable graphic panels can carry a second message without a second build — cheaper than two separate stands, and still one clear offer at a time rather than three at once.
Talk to us about Confex →We have not built at Confex itself yet — here is our evidence at the same venue
ExCeL London sets its own rigging, vehicle-booking and complex-structure rules independently of whichever show is on the floor; our ExCeL London page covers those in full.
Why that matters for a two-day show
Confex runs over two show days with no quiet opening day to absorb a late delivery or an un-booked build slot. Vehicle access at ExCeL runs on a booking system, and anything taller or heavier than a standard shell goes through the venue's own complex-structure sign-off before doors open — we file that paperwork as part of the build, not as an afterthought.
What we have built at this venue
The 45 m² EKA Elevator stand at UK Construction Week London combined a compact open layout with branding lit directly into the DUM FLEX™ profile; the 54 m² Teknik Döküm stand at Passenger Terminal Expo used a clean custom wooden structure with an open frontage built for close-up technical conversation. Both were built, installed and struck at ExCeL London — International Confex has not been one of our projects yet, and we say so rather than imply otherwise.
Exhibiting at International Confex: the questions we get asked
When and where is International Confex 2027?
Wednesday 3 and Thursday 4 March 2027 at ExCeL London, published by the organiser on international-confex.com.
What is International Confex?
It is a UK trade show for the events industry itself: venues, destinations, event technology and AV/production suppliers exhibit to an audience of professional event organisers, agencies and corporate buyers, rather than the general public.
What are Event Production Show and The PA Show?
Both run alongside International Confex at ExCeL London on the same dates, under the same organiser, giving exhibitors access to three adjoining visitor groups in one visit.
What is a space-only plot at Confex?
A footprint with no shell attached, so the structure, branding and lighting are built to your own design rather than a shared format. That is the route we build: custom wooden construction or our DUM FLEX™ frame, sized to your plot.
Have you built stands at ExCeL London before?
Yes, including a 45 m² DUM FLEX™ stand for EKA Elevator at UK Construction Week London and a 54 m² custom wooden stand for Teknik Döküm at Passenger Terminal Expo. We have not yet built at International Confex itself; those two projects are our closest evidence at the same venue.
Can we reuse the stand for other shows during the year?
Yes, if it is built for that from the start. Our DUM FLEX™ frame is designed to be struck, stored and rebuilt for a different footprint at your next show, rather than built once and scrapped.
