Exhibition Stand Design & Build in Johannesburg

Memories Made in Motion designs, builds and installs custom exhibition stands across Johannesburg — Gallagher Convention Centre, the Johannesburg Expo Centre at Nasrec, Sandton Convention Centre and Kyalami. We take the stand from 3D concept and organiser approval through fabrication, install, show-day crewing and derig.

Carpentry, scenic finishes, branding, lighting, LED and furniture come out of our own 1,200m² Wynberg warehouse, which keeps build cost and change turnaround under our control rather than a sub-contractor's.

Frequently asked questions

Q. How much does a custom exhibition stand cost in Johannesburg?

Custom stands generally run R2,800–R6,500 per square metre depending on height, scenic complexity, AV and whether the structure is reusable. Shell-scheme upgrades start considerably lower. Every quote is itemised.

Q. Which Johannesburg exhibition venues do you work at?

Gallagher Convention Centre, Johannesburg Expo Centre (Nasrec), Sandton Convention Centre, Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit and Ticketpro Dome. We hold rigging, power and load-in specs for each.

Q. Do you handle organiser approvals and safety documentation?

Yes. Stand plans, structural sign-off, method statements, OHS files and Public Liability certificates are submitted on your behalf ahead of the deadline.

Q. Can the stand be reused at other shows?

We design modular structures that reconfigure across footprints, and we store the stand between shows in our Wynberg warehouse.

Q. How early do you need the brief?

Six to eight weeks for a custom build. Fast-track builds are possible in three weeks when the floorplan and branding assets are already approved.
