Your stand at the Gartner Symposium captures the attention of CIOs and technology leaders
The Gartner Symposium/Xpo brings more than 6,500 CIOs and technology leaders from all over the world to the CCIB in Barcelona, both at the IT Symposium/Xpo and the Supply Chain Symposium/Xpo. In front of an audience like this, a conventional stand goes unnoticed. We are an exhibition stand design and stand building company with more than 20 years building in Barcelona.
At Contemporanea Eventi we design, manufacture and install your custom, bespoke stand with in-house carpentry and production in our Barcelona workshop, minutes from the CCIB. We have spent more than 20 years building exhibition stands for the technology sector and turning square metres into spaces that generate meetings and product demos, with a craft finish and sustainable materials.
A complete exhibition stand service for the Gartner Symposium
The the Gartner Symposium/Xpo project runs end to end with us, so your time at Fira de Barcelona Gran Via goes into conversations. A single team on the Gartner Symposium/Xpo, turnkey, with nobody in between. We design the concept, manufacture it with in-house carpentry in our Barcelona workshop and build it at the CCIB, taking care of every detail so your exhibition stand arrives flawless and on time.
Design
Collaborative briefing, visitor-centred strategy and photo-realistic 3D design of your bespoke exhibition stand.
Manufacturing
In-house carpentry and production with premium, high-quality and sustainable materials in our Barcelona workshop.
Build & Install
Transport to the CCIB in Barcelona, on-site build and dismantle by our own team, and dedicated support at the venue throughout the show.
Exhibition stands we have built for the technology sector
We have designed and built exhibition stands for technology brands at shows such as the Mobile World Congress and ISE, and we have more than 20 years working for the sector. For the Gartner Symposium/Xpo we start with a photo-realistic 3D design, manufacture with our own carpentry and sustainable materials, and handle everything from there.
What your Gartner Symposium/Xpo stand needs, depending on what you exhibit
A stand that works in front of a senior audience is not improvised. We build every the Gartner Symposium/Xpo stand on the same three ideas.
01
Cloud and infrastructure
Infrastructure is sold to a CIO in a scheduled conversation. We plan a demonstration position with its own power and data plus a seated area, so a briefing does not happen standing between two aisles.
02
Cybersecurity and risk management
Security vendors bring live demonstrations that should not be overheard. We build a closed area with acoustic separation inside the stand, so an incident scenario can be walked through in private.
03
Data, analytics and AI
Analytics is shown on screen and compared side by side. We plan screen positions with the right viewing distance and lighting that does not wash out the display, plus seating for a two-person review.
04
Enterprise software and applications
Application vendors compete for the same executive agenda. We work brand visibility at height and a clear approach, because at the CCIB the flow between sessions is short and concentrated.
A reusable stand that goes with you edition after edition
The Gartner Symposium/Xpo is an annual fixture in Barcelona. If the Gartner Symposium/Xpo is an annual fixture for you, we build a modular, reusable stand that keeps the brand consistent and cuts the cost of each edition. A sustainable option.

What does a stand need in order to stand out at the Gartner Symposium?

Both. For the Gartner Symposium/Xpo we build bespoke stands with a premium finish, modular reusable systems, or a hybrid of the two.
