Stand Out Temporary
Structures Guide. The team at Stand Out HQ has been hard at work gathering the best of the best when it comes to temporary event structures. Just like week, we headed to Goodwood Festival of Speed and watched the automotive event come to life during its extensive build period. It was interesting to see how
agencies have chosen to use temporary structures in order to bring high-end car marques to life. Of course, it’s not just brands that are using temporary structures and marquees to “wow” their guests; event and festival organisers are choosing a variety of structures to enhance hospitality and VIP areas, sporting events, award ceremonies, summer parties, festive celebrations and experiential activity. Each event has its own “unique” look and feel, but whatever the vibe, you can guarantee creativity has been at play. And if it’s out of the ordinary then you’ll find it on the following pages. In this guide, you’ll find advice and guidance on how to write the perfect brief for your chosen temporary structure supplier and how to write a tender for your structure company, and there are pearls of wisdom from the brightest minds across the industry, along with information on how the raft of different structures that are now available can be used, and the benefits they could bring to your event or festival. Stand Out endeavours to bring its readers a useful guide to temporary structures that is not only free but also one that can be visited time and again throughout the events season. Please treat this guide as a resource you can pass around your office and share amongst colleagues. Don’t forget to take a look at our great contributors too, which are truly a treasure trove of great industry contacts. They are forward-thinking and informed, bringing fresh and innovative temporary structures to the market, in which they are leaders.
