Planning layout and visitor flow for exhibitions
Event layout and visitor flow planning considers how people move through exhibition and fair spaces — stand zones, signage, access points, entry and exit flow, facilities and the overall visitor experience.
Event layout and visitor flow planning should consider venue suitability, access, stand zones, signage, facilities, entry/exit requirements, visitor movement and safety responsibilities.
