What your Gartner Symposium stand needs depending on infrastructure, security, data or software
Gartner Symposium/Xpo draws, per its press release, more than 6,500 CIOs and IT executives. They arrive with a packed agenda of sessions and meetings, so the stand is above all a room to sit and talk.
Cloud and infrastructure
A demo position with its own power and data, and seats for a long briefing, not standing between aisles.
Cybersecurity and risk
A closed, acoustically insulated area to walk through an incident scenario without it being heard outside.
Data, analytics and AI
Screens at the right viewing distance and light that does not wash out the image, with seats to review results in pairs.
Enterprise software
A brand visible at height and a clear approach, because the flow between sessions is short and concentrated.
Designing a Gartner Symposium stand as a CIO meeting room with demos that explain themselves
The CCIB’s and Gartner’s build rules are given to exhibitors and we could not consult them. Meanwhile we design with what we know: an executive audience, little time and a seated conversation.
Table before showcase
The centre of the stand is a table for a half-hour conversation, with the demo behind it, in view.
A demo that explains itself
A screen with a short, clear walkthrough, so the CIO grasps the value without waiting for anyone.
A room with a door
A closed, insulated space to talk contracts, security or figures not shared in the aisle.
Produced in Barcelona
We build in the workshop and move the stand within the same city, with no international transport or customs.

What costs most in a Gartner Symposium stand with a meeting room and demos
We do not give figures without seeing your plot: the cost of a Gartner Symposium stand depends on the metres, the rooms and how many demos you set up. These are the six factors.
Meeting room
Every insulated room adds structure and fabrication, and reduces the open surface of the stand.
Screens and demos
Each screen adds power, connection and supports, and needs a design that does not dazzle.
Brand image
A careful front and a brand visible at height need quality graphics and their own light.
Seating furniture
A long conversation needs good chairs and tables, which add fabrication and space.
Short build-up window
A stand produced in the workshop needs fewer hours on site and reduces last-minute risk.
Reusing the stand
A modular design pays off if you return to Gartner Symposium or take the stand to other shows.

Common questions from Gartner Symposium sponsors about their stand
The questions that come up most when preparing a stand for Gartner Symposium/Xpo in Barcelona. The specific build rules are given to exhibitors by the organiser, so we confirm them with it.
When is Gartner Symposium 2026?
On 9-12 November 2026 at the International Barcelona Convention Center, the CCIB.
What is Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo?
The gathering of more than 6,500 CIOs and IT executives, with an exhibition of technology providers alongside the session programme.
How much does a Gartner Symposium stand cost?
It depends on the plot, the rooms and the demos, so we give no figure without the plan. To orient yourself on the items, see how to calculate a trade show stand budget.
Where can I check the build rules?
In the documentation Gartner and the CCIB give each exhibitor. They are not public, so we ask the client for them before closing the design.
Is a reusable stand worth it?
Yes, if you return or go to other technology shows: a modular design keeps the identity and cuts the cost from the second time.
When should I start designing?
With months to spare, because the organiser sets its own deadlines. See the steps to organise a trade show in advance.
Produced in Barcelona and installed at the CCIB, without leaving the city
We build the stand in our Barcelona workshop and take it to the CCIB. We install and dismantle it ourselves, within the organiser's hours.
