Anyone can become a member of Better Stands
Organiser
Event organisers can use the Better Stands framework as a structured approach to assessing the reusability of exhibition stands. By assessing stands before or during an event, organisers can learn where to focus their efforts, celebrating exhibitors and service providers who already use reusable stands and engage with those who have not yet started that journey.
Service Provider
Service providers use Better Stands as a framework to assess and showcase the level of reusability of their stands by gaining a Bronze, Silver or Gold rating, while identifying opportunities to increase the reuse of stand materials.
Assessor
Trained assessors are part of Better Stands by providing the impartial assessment of stands against the Better Stands framework, either onsite at an event or pre-event through the Better Stands platform.
Exhibitor
An exhibitor can use Better Stands to help make an informed decision on the build of their stand, as well as to showcase their stand’s credentials. To find Better Stands–approved partners, please refer to the member list.
Venue
Venues can use the Better Stands framework to engage their customers and support the use of more reusable stand solutions.
Association
Associations can use the Better Stands framework to engage their members and promote the adoption of more reusable stand solutions.
Industry Partner
Industry partners form the backbone of event construction, comprising providers of products and services that promote reuse and recycling of materials within the exhibitions and events sector.
