Your stand options

Whichever space you booked, we build it.

The 2026 exhibitor form lists three ways to exhibit. Here is what UPC delivers for each.

Space only

Small, medium or large plot

You book the floor space and bring your own stand. We design a custom stand around your brand, fabricate it in-house and build it on site: structure, counters, feature walls and graphics.

Shell scheme

Listed as 6x6

The organizer provides the basic structure. We upgrade it with branded walls, counters, feature elements and printed graphics so it stands apart from the row.

Startup pod

Compact, ready-made spot

A small footprint with a big job. We produce the graphics, branded counter fronts and display pieces that make a young company look established.

Scope

One team, from first render to dismantling.

Custom Exhibition Stands

Bespoke stand structures designed and fabricated to brand specification for trade shows and expos.

Branded Kiosks

Free-standing kiosks for activations, retail promotions and experiential brand moments.

3D Concept & Visualization

Concept design and 3D renders that let clients approve the stand before fabrication starts.

Structural Fabrication

In-house metal, wood and large-format fabrication of stand frames, counters and feature walls.

Event Logistics

Transport, storage and coordination of stand components to venues across the Kingdom.

On-Site Build & Strike

Certified crews assemble, dress and dismantle stands within venue build-up and breakdown windows.

Planning timeline

Working back from 1 December.

A custom stand typically needs 6 to 8 weeks from concept to installation. This is the schedule we recommend for Black Hat MEA 2026.

On the show floor

What works on a cybersecurity stand.

01

Demo stations that draw a crowd

Raised screens and standing demo pods let visitors watch a live product walkthrough without blocking the aisle.

02

A quiet corner for serious talks

Buyers at a security show ask detailed questions. A semi-private meeting area keeps those conversations on your stand.

03

Power and data planned early

Live demos need reliable power and connectivity. We plan cable routes and counter layouts around your equipment list.

04

A message readable from the aisle

One clear line on the high-level graphics tells visitors what you solve before they step in.

FAQs

Answers before you ask.

Is there still time to build a custom stand for Black Hat MEA 2026?

+

Yes. Black Hat MEA runs 1 to 3 December 2026 at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Centre, Malham. A custom stand typically needs 6 to 8 weeks from concept to installation, and shorter timelines can be accommodated. Send your brief today and we will confirm a delivery schedule with your quote.

Do you build space-only stands, or can you upgrade a shell scheme?

+

Both. On a space-only plot we design and build a fully custom stand around your brand. On a shell scheme package we add branded walls, counters, feature elements and graphics, all produced in-house.

What is included in a Black Hat MEA stand package?

+

3D concept and renders, structural fabrication, graphics production, transport to the venue in Malham, on-site build within the official build-up window, and full dismantling after the show. One team, one contract.

What does the price depend on?

+

Stand size, number of open sides, structure and finishes, graphics coverage and timeline. Send your stand number, dimensions and brief and we will return an itemized quote within 24 hours.

Where is Black Hat MEA 2026 held, and how do build crews get there?

+

At the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Centre in Malham. Drivers reach the venue via Al Qassim Road and enter through the Falcon Gate. Our crews and transport handle delivery to the venue, so your team only needs to arrive for the show.

Do you handle the organizer's approvals for the stand?

+

We prepare the stand drawings and technical details the organizer asks for and follow the rules in your exhibitor manual. Submission steps and deadlines are set by the organizer, so share the manual with your brief.

We are exhibiting from outside Saudi Arabia. Can you manage the build remotely?

+

Yes. Brief us by email or video call, approve the 3D renders online, and our production team handles fabrication, delivery and installation. Your team arrives to a finished stand, ready for opening day.

Can the stand be reused at other exhibitions?

+

Yes. Many stands are engineered as modular systems that can be refreshed and redeployed across several exhibitions, which lowers the cost per show.
