Project Overview

Exposure Displays partnered with Catalyst Connect (Germany) to deliver an exhibition stand for the City of Chicago at the World Routes event in Adelaide. The project was a high-profile international showcase, designed to highlight Chicago’s status as a global hub for business, culture, and aviation, while meeting the expectations of both Catalyst Connect and their end-client.

Vision

Catalyst Connect engaged Exposure Displays to ensure that Chicago’s presence at World Routes would be delivered to the highest international standards. The brief required:

• Seamless execution of a premium international exhibition stand.
• A build that balanced cultural storytelling with functional hospitality and business engagement spaces.
• Delivery at an Australian venue to the same standard Catalyst Connect was accustomed to in Europe.

Delivery

• Partnership with Catalyst Connect: Worked closely with Catalyst Connect to bring their concept and design intent to life, translating European standards of execution into an Australian build environment.

• Onsite Management: Managed logistics, installation, and finishing touches in close coordination with Catalyst Connect’s team.

Impact
