the project

In 2014, CPTDC partnered with Dolphin International Media to deliver a large-scale exhibit for the Global Energy Show. With a multi-year commitment to the event, CPTDC needed a reliable fabrication partner based in Canada — one that could manage a technically complex build, avoid the risks of international shipping, and stay on time and on budget. The exhibit had to be bold, functional, and built to last across multiple show cycles.

What We Did

The Solution

To meet CPTDC’s needs, we designed, built, and installed a 15-foot-tall, 30x13 custom tower. The structure featured a 16-screen video wall, a private meeting room with frosted glass, integrated storage, and load-bearing support for industrial equipment. Modular graphic panels and light boxes were designed for easy yearly updates, maximizing the booth’s lifespan. Additional elements included large-format graphics, double-sided light box displays, branded counters, product stands, and a backlit bar. The result was a high-performance, turnkey exhibit that delivered visually, technically, and logistically.
