Exhibition Stalls in Chennai – Design, Rental and Builders

Planning a stall for Chennai Trade Centre

Most large trade fairs in Chennai take place at one venue, which makes planning simpler. A few things are still worth knowing.

Column-free halls

The newer pavilions at Chennai Trade Centre have no pillars, which gives designers more freedom with your stall layout. Height and structure rules are still set by each show, so share the exhibitor manual with your builders.

Product fairs and machinery fairs

At the leather fair, a stall is all about displaying products beautifully, with good lighting and shelving. At automation and packaging shows, it needs space and power for running machines. Tell builders what you will show.

Exhibiting from outside Chennai

If you travel to Chennai for one show, a local builder or rental supplier saves shipping a stall across the country. Ask whether they can store your graphics if you plan to return.

Stalls for the India International Leather Fair

At IILF, buyers walk the halls looking at leather, footwear and finished products, so displays, lighting and the way products are arranged matter more than structure. Leave space for buyer meetings and sample handling, and make your best products visible from the aisle.

Automation and packaging shows

At AUTOROBOT, WAREMAT, TOPACK and COMPACK, exhibitors often bring running machines and conveyors. Plan power and safe space around working equipment, and tell builders the size and weight of each exhibit early.

Reusing a stall in Chennai

Some exhibitors return to Chennai Trade Centre for several shows a year. A Chennai builder who can store your stall or graphics between shows can save transport and printing costs each time.

Questions to ask a Chennai builder

• Which shows at Chennai Trade Centre have you built for?
• Can you show photos of stalls in my industry?
• Can you store my stall or graphics between shows?
• Does your price include delivery to Nandambakkam, lighting, display fittings and dismantling?

Custom, modular or rented in Chennai

For a one-off visit to Chennai Trade Centre, a modular or rented stall from a local supplier is often the simplest choice: there is nothing to ship and the supplier handles set-up and dismantling. If you exhibit at the leather fair or the automation shows every year, a custom stall stored in Chennai between editions can work out well. Ask builders to quote for both options.

Bringing a team to Chennai

Chennai Trade Centre is close to the airport, which makes it easy for exhibitors flying in. Plan your team's arrival so you can check the stall before the show opens, and agree with your builder who will be on site during build-up and on the first morning.

Matching the stall to Chennai's buyers

Chennai's fairs draw buyers from manufacturing, export and retail. Think about what they need to see and do at your stall, whether that is handling samples, watching a machine run or sitting down to discuss an order, and brief your builder around it.
