An exhibition on a university campus

A university campus is an unusual but useful setting for an exhibition. Concourses and halls in the city centre attract students, staff and visiting professionals, which suits recruitment fairs, industry showcases and education-focused brands.

Lay out the space for flow

Campus concourses are often long and narrow. Plan booth placement so visitors can move in one direction without dead ends, and keep main walkways clear for people passing through.

Manage exhibitors well

Exhibitors need clear information on set-up times, power, furniture and access. A single exhibitor pack, sent early, prevents most problems on the day.

Campus rules

Campuses have their own rules on deliveries, signage and noise. Check them with the campus events office before you plan the layout.

See these layout and visitor flow notes for an SMU exhibition for practical examples.
