| Abstract | This paper details an exploratory study surrounding the environmental impacts of the UK exhibition industry, particularly in relation to the design and build of bespoke exhibition stands. A mixed methodology of face-to-face surveys and expert interviews were conducted, alongside an in-depth case study with an exhibition stand designer, to gain insights into perceptions of sustainability and current practices across the exhibition industry. Insights gained from these formed design criteria for a sustainable exhibition stand solution. The paper explores wider principles and recommendations for the industry and concludes that designers and contractors are in an ideal position to improve the industry through the adoption of environmental management practices, sustainable design principles and systemic thinking.
