4Networking, the leading business networking forum in the UK,  has invested in a new modular exhibition stand from 200m2.  4Networking’s new exhibition stand can be adjusted or modified to suit virtually any floor space.

4Networking’s new exhibition stand is based on 200m2’s CROSSWire modular stand concept.  Fast to erect, CROSSwire modular stands can be put up in a fraction of the time most modular stands require for set up.

Stefan Thomas, 4Networking’s Network Director said “200m2 provided the ‘new’ 4Networking stand which we started using at the Business StartUp Show at London’s ExCeL. This was our most successful show ever – with many people commenting on how friendly and eyecatching our stand was.”

Commenting on the new stand, 200m2 Managing Director Tim Cronin said “The CROSSwire solution we supplied to 4Networking allowed them to go much higher than pretty much any other stand.  Consequently, the 4N stand could be seen from the other side of the exhibition hall.  The quality of the display panels we used created an extremely professional finish.”

Watch the video below to find out how easy it is to put up a CROSSwire stand.  For more information about 200m2’s range of exhibition stands, contact us today.

Join 200m2 at FESPA 2013, the largest focused event for the wide format print industry; encompassing the very latest equipment and consumables in digital printing, screen printing and industrial decoration.  FESPA 2013 takes place at ExCel London from the 25th to the 29th of June 2013.

200m2 will be exhibiting its new modular display system with its Danish partner X-Module.  Dubbed X-15, the new modular trussing system will debut at London’s ExCeL for the first time.

X-15 is a development of the CROSSwire modular display system which has become immensely popular for Point of Sale (POS) displays and at exhibitions alike.  With a new patented centre joint and greater use of composite materials, X-15 is significantly lighter than its predecessor, making it ideal for space limited applications.

Like CROSSwire, X-15 is quick to assemble and requires no tools.  Suitable for indoor or outdoor use, X-15 is available in a variety of colours and is compatible with all forms of media.

200m2 and X-Module will be showcasing X-15 for the first time at FESPA 2013 – the principle trade conference of the Federation of European Screen Printers Associations (FESPA).   FESPA provides an international platform to demonstrate and see the latest display equipment available today.

Visit 200m2 on Stand M85S – we look forward to meeting you there.  Come along and see for yourself the advantages of our modular systems including CROSSwire, TRUSSwire and TECHwire.  Contact 200m2 for more information on X-15 and its wider range of exhibition stands by calling +44 20 3332 0092.

200m2 Exhibition Stands has supplied a TRUSSwire exhibition stand to leading adventure tour operator Travel Talk Adventures.

Travel Talk Adventures approached 200m2 in early 2013 with the aim of increasing its presence at the TNT Travel Show, London’s largest free travel show. With a new larger floor plan, Travel Talk Adventures was looking for a new exhibition stand solution which would stand out from the crowd.  The new exhibition stand also had to ‘modular’ so that it could scale and adapt as required.

After comparing solutions from several competing exhibition stand contractors, Travel Talk Adventures chose one of 200m2’s TRUSSwire modular exhibition stands.  With a floor area of 10 by 6 metres and a vertical height of 5 metres, the TRUSSwire stand supported over twenty four square metres of printed displays.  Despite being the biggest stand in the exhibition hall by 4 or 5 times, the entire stand was built in just 4 hours and took just 2 hours to dismantle.

Tim Cronin, Managing Director at 200m2 explained “Travel Talk Adventures needed an exhibition stand which looked highly professional but also one which maximised flexibility.  TRUSSwire is a modular truss system which can be used across a wide range of applications – both indoor and outdoor. Made from an aluminium core with a scratch resistant composite outer layer, TRUSSwire is extremely lightweight yet very strong.  It is also a foldable system which folds away after use to be almost completely flat.  Consequently, TRUSSwire is easy to transport and store.”

200m2 has built a special display housing to showcase ‘Princess’, the world’s first narrow gauge steam engine.  Princess is returning to London for the first time in 150 years and will go on display not far from where she was built by George England & Co at their Hatcham Iron Works in New Cross.

The world famous locomotive will be displayed at London’s Paddington station to mark her 150th anniversary.  The steam train has been painstakingly restored by the craftsmen at Ffestiniog Railway in North Wales and will be unveiled to the public on St David’s Day – Friday the 1st of March.

For her return to London, the Ffestiniog railway commissioned 200m2 to design and build a temporary structure around Princess to showcase this marvel of 18th century engineering.  After supplying detailed CAD drawings of the concept, 200m2 built a structure around Princess using its TRUSSwire gantry system.  High quality exhibition panel displays were then produced to hang from the structure to create a visual presence befitting a 150th birthday.

Tim Cronin, Managing Director of 200m2 said “It’s been a real honour to work with the Ffestiniog railway on this project.  Technology has moved on a long way since Princess was built but the quality of the workmanship that went into both building and restoring her is quite astounding.  The materials used since the 1860s have moved on too.  Brass and steel have been replaced by aluminium alloys and composites, both are used in the TRUSSwire modular exhibition stands which surround the exhibit.”

Cronin added “TRUSSwire is an integral part of our exhibition stands portfolio.  Our solutions start with small pop-up displays up to large stage trussing systems for concerts and stage shows.  All of our solutions are modular which means they can be adapted for almost any purpose.  What’s more, our exhibition stand hire service enables organisations to hire in addition modules, or even whole exhibition stands, when required.”

200m2 Exhibition Stands, the UK leader in modular exhibition stands and exhibition services, has announced a new modular concept called TECHwire which is specifically designed for large scale applications such as stage shows or catwalks.

Made from a composite outer material with an aluminium core, TECHwire is extremely strong yet lightweight.  Consequently, it is extremely cost effective to transport around the world.  For applications like concert stages for example, TECHwire is set to make an impact both visually and in terms of reduced transportation costs.

TECHwire is made from the same outer material as 200m2’s other modular concepts called TRUSSwire and CROSSwire.   As its name suggests, TECHwire is a technological innovation which combines strength and lightweight composite materials, to create a weatherproof and scratch resistant gantry system which can be re-used time and time again.

Like its smaller counterparts TRUSSwire and CROSSwire, TECHwire is extremely easy to build and break down.   Measuring 25cm by 25cm across, TECHwire is available in a variety of different lengths from 25cm to 200cm.  Compatible with all forms of media (lighting, sound, visual etc), TECHwire is expected to revolutionise the large scale event management industry.
