Overview
OFC (Optical Fiber Communication) 2024 is the world’s most important conference and trade fair for optical communication technology, IT and software. It serves one of the most important growth markets, that of optical communication technology. In close cooperation with the Photonics Cluster Berlin and Brandenburg and the Fraunhofer HHI, the capital region of Berlin and Brandenburg has presented its innovative research results and products to around 16,000 trade visitors from 75 countries and around 700 international exhibitors in recent years.
Concept &
Design
Berlin Partner for Business and Technology has been commissioned by the Senate to organize a joint stand – a Pavilion.
The pavilion should not appear as a mere series of boxes, a balancing act between a grand entrance and minimal effort but should allow the small to radiate on a large scale. For this reason, each individual exhibitor area is elevated by columns and illuminated. The core, the inner area, is designed and seen as a common room and meeting place for every exhibitor and visitor.
Challenge
The aim and challenge are to demonstrate the existing economic, technical and innovative capabilities of the Berlin region as a whole and in the individual business units, and to enable these business units to serve the American market in the best possible way.
Solution
We have designed a clean, modern space within the subdivided pavilion area for each company. The exhibition sections were demarcated from one another by a row of backlit columns, symbolizing the connection in a kind of urban skyline. The central meeting area was equipped with an impressive backlit wall that highlighted the Berlin Partner as the umbrella and supporting organization of each exhibitor.
Results
The Berlin Partner pavilion stood out as a truly unique and attractive space. It perfectly captures the essence of a joint stand while offering visitors the opportunity to network and collaborate directly with individual exhibitors or indirectly through the umbrella organization Berlin Partner. Berlin Partner has made a lasting impression and shown that small and medium-sized economic entities can also successfully present themselves in other economic areas under a joint umbrella.
Testimonial
“The exhibition stand looked even better this year because Absolute had the LEDs on the sides of the columns and not just at the top and bottom like last year. It therefore had a very good external impact! In Chris, the stand construction manager of Absolute, I had a highly committed implementer.”
