Brands that trust us as their stand builder
What your SBC Summit stand needs depending on the type of exhibitor
SBC Summit brings operators, platforms, affiliates and payment companies onto the same floor. Each profile uses a stand differently, and that decides the bar, the rooms and the demo area.
Operators
A silhouette that shows from afar and an open area to meet in. Your stand is the obvious place to gather.
Platforms and software
Demo stations at the right angle and away from noise, to show a back office without an audience on top.
Affiliates and media
A plot open on every side the rules allow, with high tables and no barrier at the front.
Payments and compliance
Closed rooms soundproofed from the bar, for long and confidential meetings.
Stand construction rules at the Feira Internacional de Lisboa (FIL)
Before drawing we read FIL’s general regulations, which set the height, the deadlines and what may be built inside the hall. These four figures weigh most.
See all 10 rules, with their source
| Base module | Space is allocated in modules of 9 m² (3 x 3 m), with no platforms or walls. source |
|---|---|
| Height | Up to 3 m. To go higher, dimensioned plans, elevations and sections must reach FIL’s technical department at least 20 days before build-up starts. source |
| Second floor | Needs FIL’s express authorisation. The usable area and any element over 3 m high must be set back at least 1.50 m from the stand perimeter. A raised floor needs a wheelchair ramp. source |
| Building on site | Workshop-style construction inside the hall is forbidden, as are cutting, welding and sanding machines and spray painting. The stand is assembled from parts already built. source |
| Flooring | Only fire-retardant carpet, class M3, is allowed. source |
| Electricity | 230/400 V, 50 Hz. The stand’s installation is the exhibitor’s responsibility, done by an accredited professional with a residual-current switch and earthing. Only FIL connects to the main grid. source |
| Water, drainage and power | They are requested on the registration form, stating the power needed. Special lines or circuits not on the form must be requested at least 20 calendar days ahead and are quoted separately. source |
| Ceiling rigging | Needs FIL’s authorisation, is carried out only by FIL’s concessionaire and must be requested 20 calendar days ahead with a plan and the weights. source |
| Loads | Showing products over 2,000 kg/m² on the ground floor, or over 200 kg/m² on the first floor of a stand, needs special authorisation. source |
| Build contractors | Prior accreditation and a civil and professional liability policy of 1,000,000 EUR. FIL sets build-up and dismantling hours, and working outside them carries a fee. source |

How we design your SBC Summit stand around FIL’s rules
With FIL’s regulations on the table, the project closes in four decisions in the first plan, so the stand arrives built and goes up without surprises.
Height
The general height needs no paperwork. If the design needs more, FIL needs the plans well ahead.
A prefabricated stand
You cannot build inside the hall. We build in Barcelona and in Lisbon it is only assembled.
The bar, ordered early
Water, drainage and power are requested from FIL on the form. We lock the bar into the plan first.
Second floor
FIL's authorisation and a set-back: you lose some floor space and gain a room above the aisle.

What drives the budget of an exhibition stand at SBC Summit
We do not give figures without seeing your plot: the price of a trade-fair stand depends on surface and on what you want to show. At SBC Summit these six factors weigh most.
The bar and its services
A working bar needs water, drainage and power requested from the venue, plus room for a back store.
Closed rooms and soundproofing
Every private room adds structure, a door and acoustic treatment. Deciding how many you need saves budget.
Height and second floor
Going past the general height or adding a second floor needs a project, FIL's authorisation and a heavier structure.
Electrical installation
An accredited professional does it, with a board and residual-current switch, and FIL connects to its grid. Budget for it from day one.
Reusing the stand
A modular design spreads the cost across editions if you return to Lisbon or go to another show on the circuit.
Transport and dismantling
We move the stand and the crew from Barcelona and dismantle within the hours FIL sets.

Common questions from SBC Summit Lisbon exhibitors
The questions that come up most when preparing a stand at the Feira Internacional de Lisboa, answered from FIL’s regulations and what the organiser publishes.
When and where is SBC Summit?
21-23 September 2027 at the Feira Internacional de Lisboa, according to SBC’s website. The 2026 edition has already taken place.
What is the maximum stand height?
In general, 3 m under FIL’s regulations. For more, plans must reach FIL in advance, and a second floor needs its express authorisation.
Can the stand be built inside the hall?
No. FIL forbids cutting, welding, sanding and spray painting on site. The stand arrives built and is assembled in pieces.
How much does a stand for SBC Summit cost?
It depends on the plot, the bar and the closed rooms, so we give no figure without seeing the plan. To get oriented on the line items, see how to calculate the budget for a trade-fair stand.
Can you build a bar with real service?
Yes. We design it with water and drainage sorted from the plan. They are requested from FIL on the registration form, so settle the bar early.
My stand is small next to the big operators. How do I stand out?
With FIL’s general height limit there is little room in height, so you win at the front: a recognisable silhouette, good light and somewhere to stay. More ideas on booth design in small spaces.
Stand build and dismantle at the Feira Internacional de Lisboa
We build in Barcelona and bring the stand to FIL. We install and dismantle it ourselves, within the venue's hours.
