Scan Display’s Cape Town branch was the exhibition stand provider for 12 overseas clients at AfricaCom, Africa’s premier telecommunications conference and exhibition. The show, which is owned and managed by Informa UK, was held at the Cape Town International Convention Centre from 10 – 11 November 2010.

International exhibitors have often sent their own stand and crew to be on site. However, at AfricaCom 2010, Scan Display’s clients entrusted them with the complete process, with Scan either building from the client’s design or both designing and building the stand. Scan was also involved in providing staff for the stands, and catering and cleaning services.

The foreign investment from these stands amounted to roughly R2.5 million (paid in US Dollars and Euros), which not only provides a boost to the South African economy, but also contributes to job creation.

The brief from Scan’s clients was to provide great value while keeping to a budget. Scan achieved this successfully in spite of building custom stands, which are generally more expensive than modular stands. The stands were uncluttered and elegant, and used lighting effectively to create interest and a flattering look-and-feel. These are cost-conscious solutions that enhance a stand when used correctly.

Scan Display has developed a national team specialising in the design and delivery of award-winning stands. Scan’s international network includes top exhibition agencies and brands, which has led to many successful partnerships on South African projects.

AfricaCom 2010 was a very successful event, experiencing a 41% increase in visitors from 2009. Seventy-five percent of the exhibition stands for 2011 have already been sold.

Let Brochure Display Systems Do The Work For You

Face it; you cannot walk around with stacks of brochures the whole time. If you are an exhibitor you want your hands free to demonstrate products, greet people, and write. Brochure display systems can effectively help you reach people that don’t want to make personal contact, but do want information. Use brochure display systems as a vehicle for displaying essential sales material, product catalogues, specials, and brochures in a neat, professional and visually attractive method. While you are explaining the details of your latest innovation to a visitor, someone passing will immediately be able to identify where they can get more information if the information is well displayed by means of brochure display systems.

Modulbox – conference coffee stand

Scan Display sponsored the use of a Modulbox at Ellis Park for one of their conferences in July, from which to serve coffee and popcorn to the conference delegates.

Oppikoppi music festival

The 16th OppiKoppi music festival took place on the 6-8 August, 2010.

Situated just outside Northam, in the Limpopo province of South Africa, the venue is essentially untamed bushveld and a hill. In fact, the name of the festival is an abbreviation of the Afrikaans phrase “op die koppie”, which literally means “on the hill”.

Thorn trees, red dust and the beautiful scenery of similar thorn tree-covered hills is the setting for this rugged festival, which is clearly not for the faint-hearted.

Scan Display recognised that the Modulbox was therefore the ideal solution for a durable and comfortable smoking lounge at Oppikoppi, for their client Dunhill.
