Goals & Objectives
Having celebrated its 23rd anniversary this year, The International
Fuel Ethanol Workshop is the ethanol industry’s largest
and longest-running conference in the world. Due to dramatic
growth – 100% growth from 2006 to 2007 – BBI International
and Valley were faced with many new challenges that needed
to be overcome quickly.
A few of those challenges were: expanding the necessary exhibit space numerous
times, communicating BBI International’s global presence as the leader
in biomass resources and introducing BBI International’s Going Green Globally
initiative www.goinggreenglobally.com
Solution
Logistically, the increase in new exhibitors led BBI and Valley
to focus on expanding the show floor where the teams worked
relentlessly as the show date drew nearer and nearer. Additional
halls were opened. The general session was moved. And an international
pavilion was created.
As the leader in Biomass Resources, BBI International
challenged Valley’s exhibit design team to make a dramatic statement
with its corporate display which needed to contain space for
each of the four corporate divisions as well as a private meeting
room. Valley designed and built a two-story structure
with an enclosed private meeting room and an overhead observation
deck.
To further introduce and communicate BBI International’s
Going Green Globally initiative, we designed and fabricated
a pavilion created to support multi-directional, personal interaction. This
interactive space effectively communicated the essential Going
Green Globally initiative…a vital component to BBI’s
message and brand.
Results
BBI’s expertise and Valley’s involvement resulted
in the 2007 event being voted into 2007 TradeShow Weeks Fastest
50. Afterwards, Valley was named the convention service contractor
for all BBI International- owned expositions through 2011 and
will continue to cater to both the exhibitors and attendees,
while at the same time sustaining BBI International's brand and
help manage its growth.
