Design for the conversation that matters
What an IDEF stand has to do.
IDEF is a delegation show like IDEX: the business happens in scheduled meetings, often with government visitors, and the stand is a hosting venue as much as a display. We design and build defence exhibition stands for that brief - briefing rooms, hospitality, secure storage and heavy display structures - produced by our team and installed in Istanbul, and much of that work stays confidential at the client's request.

Before you appoint anyone
Questions exhibitors ask about IDEF Istanbul.
When and where is IDEF Istanbul 2027?
IDEF Istanbul runs 3–9 May 2027 at Istanbul Expo Center, Istanbul. Confirm build-up and breakdown times in the organiser's exhibitor manual, which sets the real deadline for a custom stand.
Is an IDEF stand like an IDEX stand?
Very close. Both are delegation shows where meetings are scheduled and private, so meeting rooms and hosting take more of the footprint than open display. We plan IDEF stands the same way and keep the work confidential where the client asks.
What does a stand at IDEF cost?
Beauty Sky quotes custom exhibition stands in Dubai from AED 1,000 per square metre, on a minimum stand size of 24 m². What moves the figure is structure, AV and finishes rather than floor area alone, so ask any builder for a line-by-line quotation that separates AV and rigging from the build, and check what the organiser bills you directly for space, power and rigging points.
How early should we appoint a stand builder for IDEF?
Ten to twelve weeks before the show for a custom build, and earlier if the stand carries a double deck or heavy structure, because those go to the venue for structural approval first. The sequence is brief, concept, 3D sign-off, technical drawings, venue submission, fabrication, then build-up at Istanbul Expo Center. Workshop capacity in Dubai fills before the organiser's technical deadline does, so the deadline that matters is not the one in the exhibitor manual.
