NOTE: There is a 5% levy on all corner stands and a 10% levy on all island spaces. Comparatively, Expo’s rate is very competitive and the event offers its exhibitors more benefits than any other trade or décor show in terms of reputation, infrastructure and a supportive environment. The majority of Expo exhibitors not only recoup their costs through sales, they also make a profit at the event.

CO-EXHIBITOR FEE

We do not encourage exhibitors to share stands as this results in a cluttered display and does not promote the individual brands effectively. There is thus a co-exhibitor fee of R900. In other words, if you share a stand with another exhibitor we will charge you an additional R900 for the extra accreditation, registration and administration costs. 

To ensure that Design Indaba Expo maintains a high professional standard, each exhibitor is pre-approved by a curatorial panel of industry experts. The curatorial panel comprises industry leaders and experts in their field of design. The creative work of each potential exhibitor is evaluated to ensure that it meets the exacting standards set by Design Indaba, ensuring that each design is 100% homegrown and of the highest quality.
