Events are back in the game… stronger than ever.

In a world increasingly flooded with artificial intelligence, it’s somewhat paradoxical that offline events are regaining their undeniable value. Today, we can effortlessly generate content, scripts, visuals, and even entire campaigns. What we cannot generate, however, is real presence—and all the experiences that come with it. And this is exactly what we hear from exhibitors more often than ever.

Trust is moving into the physical world

When it becomes harder to distinguish reality from algorithm-generated content, brands look for spaces where they can build truly authentic experiences. Visitors, in turn, want to see the product, touch it, test it, and talk directly to the sales team.

In conversations with our clients, the same arguments come up repeatedly:
“People attend because they want to verify whether what they saw online is real. They also want to meet the people they plan to work with—and negotiate offers face to face.”
Trade fairs make all of this possible.

Online attention is easily fragmented. Live, in-person meetings allow for 100% focus.

In an era of intensified online communication, we compete for mere seconds of a potential client’s attention. Meanwhile, trade shows give us 30 minutes of conversation—or sometimes even more. There are organizations that measure the real impact of offline meetings. One of them is Freeman, a global leader in the event industry, whose insights are based on extensive, ongoing research conducted in collaboration with renowned research firms—making their data a highly reliable source.

According to the 2025 Freeman Trust Report:

• 93–95% of event attendees say they trust a brand more after a live event, believing the brand will keep its promises and is credible.
• 92% of professionals declare that live events positively influence how they perceive a brand or company.
• 96% of attendees report positive emotions after a live event—such as a sense of connection, energy, and satisfaction.
• 74% of respondents prefer discovering new products and services at live events rather than online, even if they actively use social media or company websites.

We see this every day and strive to fully leverage the potential of trade shows and exhibitions. When we design a space, we think not only about aesthetics, but also about how to hold attention for as long as possible—and how to create an environment that naturally encourages conversation.

Growing expectations around “realness”

AI can produce excellent promotional materials, but it cannot replace an immediate, thoughtful response to a client’s question. It cannot replace eye contact, a handshake, expert advice, or the energy of a committed team. Very often, it is precisely these “soft” experiences that determine whether a conversation turns into real business.

Many exhibitors tell us directly: well-prepared trade shows deliver ROI faster than digital campaigns. Why? Because this is where concrete relationships are built and meaningful conversations happen.

The booth becomes a place where technology is only a support

There’s no need to compete with AI. It’s enough to show what AI cannot replace: people. Our role is to create spaces where a brand is visible, authentic, and memorable.

Even the most advanced technology cannot replace:

• a handshake
• a side conversation
• the exchange of experiences
• spontaneous interaction
• a sense of belonging

This is the currency brands are fighting for today.

As a company that designs and builds trade show booths, we can clearly see it: events are entering a new golden era.

In a world where enormous amounts of content and imagery are created by artificial intelligence, in-person industry meetings are gaining exceptional value—for both sides. Saturation with messages of increasingly questionable authenticity pushes us to seek different forms of interaction. And among them, live meetings are becoming the most valuable of all.

So if you already recognize the benefits of trade show interactions and are planning to attend one as an exhibitor, we invite you to explore our website. You’ll find detailed information about our cooperation model as well as a portfolio of projects worth taking a look at.
