The challenge
This was our second time designing the UK Pavilion, building on earlier success with clear refinements. Each partner was given its own moment, balanced within an open, welcoming and engaging layout. The 152 m² stand combined partner showcases with a central stage and a barista-led coffee area, creating a lively and practical hub for Smart City Expo World Congress 2025.
What we did
For the second year running, we had the pleasure of designing a stand for this client at Smart City, an event that in 2025 welcomed more than 27,000 attendees from 143 countries. The space was carefully optimised so each partner had an equal, clearly defined niche to showcase their innovations. Sustainable materials and local suppliers reduced environmental impact, while wood and greenery created a warm, welcoming atmosphere. A fully equipped stage with screen, wireless headphones, microphones and distributed sound supported daily talks, complemented by an all-day barista that kept the stand active and inviting.
The result
The stand became a natural meeting point throughout the event, drawing strong footfall and sustained engagement across talks, partner showcases and hospitality. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive, with the client sharing their thanks in a follow-up email and publicly on LinkedIn. The response reflected a space that worked both operationally and emotionally, strengthening the overall presence at Smart City 2025.
