Stable unit. Uniformly stable.
When you think of stability in the event context, it’s not just about the secure setup of an exhibition system—though proper assembly is a given. Whether you choose to set up modular rental exhibition stands yourself or have them assembled by the ExpoCloud assembly service is defined by your online booking. Your preferences, your customised event cycle.
Want to discuss your needs personally? Your key account managers look forward to hearing from you.
Each rental exhibition stand is a stable unit, as exhibition systems from leading manufacturers are supported by well-established processes in exhibition logistics, scheduling, and assembly – across Europe. Additionally, every cloud-based digital process you perform within the ExpoCloud ecosystem is uniformly stable, as the system is highly performant and achieves a 99.7% availability rate! The remaining 0.3% accounts for maintenance during weekends, ensuring that weekday workflows are never disrupted.

Security in all aspects
Stability is closely linked with security – and security is a fundamental human need that extends naturally into the event management realm. The ExpoCloud ecosystem is comprehensive, combining rental exhibition stands, project management, exhibition logistics, and cloud-based software. It is only logical that this integration raises some questions regarding the security of the system.
The core benefit of security in the context of ExpoCloud can refer to the following aspects:
- Storage, Transport, and Assembly of Rental Exhibition Stands: Ensuring the safe handling and assembly of exhibition stands.
- Data Collection and Flow: Within the software and concerning the measurement technology "Event-Metrics," which captures data on stand movements.
- Effective, Targeted, and Efficient Use of Exhibition Budgets: Ensuring that budgets are managed securely and effectively.
- High-Performance Cloud Software with Robust Redundancy: Providing reliable and secure cloud-based software with strong backup systems.
- Comprehensively Recorded Processes: Ensuring that the event cycle remains uninterrupted by thoroughly capturing all processes.
People and materials: Conscientiously high-quality
Each exhibition stand is a unique creation, assembled from various material categories. This applies equally to all ExpoCloud rental exhibition stands, which you can configure online in 3D using the integrated "Studio" software module. The software "knows" which exhibition items are available and "recognises" your custom graphics and inventory of promotional items or giveaways. You design and create, while ExpoCloud experts later transform your 3D vision into reality.
You see what will follow in advance – later, you use what you previously visualised in 3D. High-quality rental exhibition stands are the result of a consistently secure process where materials, logistics, and scheduling form a seamless unit.
Logistics and scheduling: Ensuring seamless security
At the ExpoCloud Service Hub, located in Alsdorf near Aachen, experienced logisticians handle inventory management, order picking, packaging, and loading of your customised exhibition stands. Transport logistics partners deliver your stands to the event location, where assembly specialists set them up and dismantle them as needed.
ExpoCloud coordinators ensure the smooth handling of all rental exhibition stands across Europe. The Service Hub is conveniently located at the crossroads of Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. The scheduling of your custom exhibition stand includes all graphics, which are produced to high-quality and sustainable standards: graphics, like all exhibition materials, can be regularly rented, supporting your sustainability efforts.

Software. IT. GDPR.
Yes, ExpoCloud complies with the stringent requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The ecosystem ensures the protection of personal data, applicable to both the web-based software and all hardware components.
With the "Event-Metrics" technology developed in Germany, you can measure visitor flows at events: Tiny sensors, which can be placed in drawers, exhibits, or plants, create a unique digital fingerprint from various factors without linking it to personal data. The result is valid measurement results with GDPR-compliant data collection as the foundation.
Data protection: Internally and externally
External partners handling ExpoCloud data also adhere strictly to GDPR regulations. For instance, our partner data centre is certified to ISO 27001, 27018, and 27701 standards. This ensures data security both within your ecosystem and beyond.
You will receive this assurance in writing, as every ExpoCloud contract includes a "Data Processing Agreement pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR," which outlines the subcontractors handling the data. Additionally, you will receive a document detailing technical and organisational measures for the protection of personal data.
