Organising a successful exhibition or congress involves hundreds of details. From planning the exhibition layout and installing shell scheme stands to coordinating graphics, furniture and audiovisual equipment, every element needs to be delivered on time and work together seamlessly.
LyonExpo supports exhibition organisers, congress organisers and event agencies by managing the general installation of their events. We provide the infrastructure, equipment and on-site services needed to turn an empty exhibition space into a fully equipped, professional event environment.
Our role is to take care of the physical exhibition setup, allowing you to concentrate on what matters most: your exhibitors, your delegates and the success of your event.
From smaller congresses with a dedicated exhibition area to large trade fairs with multiple exhibitors, we develop a solution tailored to your floor plan, schedule and budget.
Give Your Exhibitors a Professional, Ready-to-Use Stand
A well-organised exhibition makes life easier for both organisers and exhibitors. By offering shell scheme stands and optional equipment, you give participating companies a straightforward way to exhibit without having to appoint their own stand builder.
We can provide standard stand structures, customised graphics, furniture, lighting and audiovisual equipment according to your exhibitor packages. Individual exhibitors can select the options they need, while you maintain consistency across the exhibition and retain control of the overall event presentation.
We work with you to define the available configurations, specifications and optional extras in advance, making it easier to communicate the offer to exhibitors and coordinate the installation.
You focus on your exhibitors. We take care of the exhibition.
One Partner. Complete Exhibition Infrastructure.
We coordinate the key elements of your exhibition installation, from the first technical discussions to the final dismantling.
- Shell Scheme Stands — Standard exhibition stands with partition walls, structural elements and fascia signage, ready for exhibitors to personalise.
- Exhibitor Graphics and Branding — Printed wall graphics, company logos, fascia lettering, branded panels and other graphic elements for individual exhibitors.
- Organiser Branding and Signage — Entrance branding, registration areas, directional signage, information panels and other visual elements that create a coherent event identity.
- Furniture Rental — Tables, chairs, counters, stools, meeting furniture and other equipment for exhibition stands, conference areas and organiser facilities.
- Audiovisual Equipment — Screens, displays and other AV equipment to support presentations, product demonstrations and event communication.
- Additional Exhibition Structures — Counters, storage areas, partitions and practical installations adapted to your event requirements.
- Installation and Dismantling — Coordinated delivery, on-site assembly, technical checks and dismantling according to the agreed schedule.
- Project Coordination — One point of contact to help coordinate the installation, suppliers, equipment and technical requirements.
The scope of each project is adapted to the event. You can entrust us with the complete general installation or select the services you need to complement your existing suppliers.
From the First Floor Plan to the Final Dismantling
Every event starts with a clear understanding of what needs to be delivered. We review your floor plan, exhibitor numbers, stand sizes, branding requirements, equipment needs and installation schedule.
Based on your brief, we help define the most suitable installation solution and prepare a proposal covering the agreed scope of work.
Our process includes:
- Planning and Coordination — Review the floor plan, exhibitor requirements, technical specifications and event schedule.
- Design and Specifications — Define shell scheme configurations, graphics, signage, furniture and AV requirements.
- Production and Preparation — Coordinate the required structures, printed materials and equipment ahead of delivery.
- On-Site Installation — Assemble the exhibition infrastructure and install the graphics, furniture and agreed equipment.
- Event Support — Provide assistance with installation-related requirements during the event, as agreed for the project.
- Dismantling and Removal — Coordinate the removal of the installed structures and equipment after the event.
Our objective is simple: to give your team a dependable installation partner and a clear overview of the work involved.

Every congress and exhibition has its own format, requirements and financial constraints. A compact congress exhibition with a dozen shell scheme stands requires a different approach from a multi-hall trade fair with hundreds of exhibitors.
We adapt the proposed solution to your event’s scale, complexity and budget. Depending on the project, we can provide a complete general installation or focus on specific elements such as shell scheme stands, graphics, furniture rental or audiovisual equipment.
By coordinating these elements through one partner, you can simplify communication, reduce the number of separate installation arrangements and maintain a consistent standard across the event.
Whether you are planning a recurring annual congress or a new exhibition, we work with you to find a practical solution that meets your requirements.
