VBN's Traveling Tour of Buffalo!
FB Displays & Designs, Inc., recently designed and produced a 20' peninsula booth for Visit Buffalo Niagara (VBN). The new exhibit made its debut at the 39th Annual Empire State Society of Association Executives Conference 2018 (ESSAE), June 21st, in Saratoga Springs NY.
This spring, VBN solicited proposals for the ESSAE booth space. VBN wanted to capture the fun and sophisticated feel of their "Unexpected Buffalo" Campaign. The FBD2 team was awarded the bid after pitching the idea of a large mural wall combined with a row of banners to "tour" unique Buffalo destinations
The final display features a 20ft serpentine pillowcase back wall, three double-sided retractable banners, and a greeting counter. The graphics on the back wall showing large, stunning photos of Riverworks and the Washington Market Mural, while the banners promote the highlights of the city. VBN's own Matt Steinberg created the eye-catching artwork.
"The ESSAE trade show went very well and we are very happy with how the booth looked!! The set up and tear down went smoothly. The booth looked professional and inviting… We truly appreciate you and your team helping us execute a strong showing." - Jennifer Gregory, National Sales Manager, Visit Buffalo Niagara
