  1. From an idea to several thousand square meters of print

    Comments Off on From Idea to Several Thousand Square Meters of Print

    After more than 15 years of working with graphic design and large-format printing in collaboration with external printing partners, it was time to take the next step. Last year, we began setting up our own in-house printing operations at Adapt with the goal of making the process faster, simpler, and more secure for both our teams and our customers.

    In January, our new print shop began conducting tests and handling small-scale production runs for internal projects. Over the spring, we fine-tuned our work processes, equipment , and systems. In May, we faced our biggest challenge yet: several thousand square meters of graphics for AVEVA WORLD in Milan.

    The production was carried out with excellent results, in close collaboration with our long-standing printing partner ABS in Italy, which supplemented the shipment with locally produced materials.

    Large-format printing up to 3.2 meters

    Today, we can produce large-format graphics with a height of up to 3.2 meters at our own facility. We print on both rigid panel materials and soft, flexible materials for beMatrix and a range of other applications in the event and trade show industries.

    In-house production gives us better control over the entire process—from the initial source file to the finished graphics. It also makes it easier to meet tight deadlines, conduct tests, and ensure the quality of every shipment before it leaves our warehouse in Linköping.

    But the investment is about more than just printers and production capacity.

    Easier file management with our Print Portal

    To make the entire process smoother and more secure, we have developed our own digital Print Portal.

    Here, our project managers and external clients can drag and drop their artwork directly into preset formats and beMatrix layouts. The system prepares the material for production and creates print-ready artwork that is sent directly to our printers.

    This reduces the need for email threads, separate file transfers, and repetitive manual work. At the same time, it creates a clearer workflow from the uploaded file to the finished product.

    Simple. Fast. Secure.

    We test everything before delivery

    Once the graphics have been printed, they are installed and tested in the actual structures at our warehouse. Only then are they packed along with the rest of the equipment and transported to the project site.

    By testing the entire assembly in advance, we can verify the fit, quality, and visual appearance before on-site installation begins. This ensures more reliable deliveries and creates better conditions for efficient implementation.

    Our new Printshop has now also been featured in the Swedish trade magazine Sign&Print —something we are, of course, very proud of.

    Would you like to become a test pilot?

    We are now looking for a few more external test pilots who want to try out our Print Portal, challenge us, and help us make the system even better.

    In return, we offer a simple, fast, and reliable process—at a special pilot program price.

  2. A Circle K station built for Elmia Lastbil

    Comments Off on A Circle K station built for Elmia Lastbil

    10,000 cups of coffee, freshly baked cinnamon buns, and a trade show booth that can change its appearance at the push of a button.

    For the third year in a row, Adapt was entrusted with designing and building Circle K’s large-scale booth at Elmia Lastbil in Jönköping. The goal was clear: to create an experience that visitors would instantly recognize, while also serving as a well-functioning gathering place with the capacity to accommodate thousands of people during the trade show.

    About the Project

    • Client: Circle K
    • Event: Elmia Lastbil in Jönköping
    • Adapt's assignment: Concept, design, and production
    • Highlights: digital LED displays, a gold-plated electric car charger, and an interactive loyalty experience
    • The Challenge: High-Capacity Brand Experience

    Circle K’s booth needs to do more than just stand out. It should convey various aspects of the brand, welcome a large number of visitors, and enable fast and efficient service throughout the day. Throughout the day, thousands of cups of coffee and freshly baked cinnamon rolls were served directly from the booth. This placed high demands on everything from visitor flow and workspaces to logistics and sustainability.

    The Solution: A Flexible Circle K Station

    Much of the design draws inspiration from a real Circle K store. Familiar architectural elements create instant recognition, while integrated digital LED surfaces make the experience flexible. With the push of a button, the messaging and atmosphere of the display can be changed. This allows Circle K to highlight different messages, products, and offers without having to rebuild the physical environment. Every part of the display was designed from two perspectives: what visitors will experience and what the team needs behind the scenes. The result is a welcoming environment that handles large visitor flows while conveying a clear and consistent brand identity.

    New eye-catchers that spark curiosity

    This year’s booth also featured two new experiences. A gold-plated electric car charger marked an important milestone: Circle K now has more than 1,000 chargers throughout Sweden. A giant iPad gave visitors the opportunity to explore Circle K’s smart loyalty program in an engaging way. Together, these new features sparked curiosity and encouraged interaction, while allowing Circle K to highlight its progress in electrification and digital customer experiences.

    A booth that captures the brand’s essence

    The result was a popular gathering place that embodied the Circle K spirit—welcoming, efficient, and always on the move. It was created not just to be seen, but to embody the brand it represents. A big thank you to Circle K and the entire Adapt team for yet another wonderful collaboration.

    Are you planning a trade show booth that will both attract attention and perform well when the pressure is at its peak? Contact Adapt, and we’ll create the next great experience together.

  3. We showed up. We delivered. We won!

    Comments Off on We came. We delivered. We won!
    After 10 months of planning, we held AVEVA World in Milan last week—the largest AVEVA World ever. And what a fantastic event it turned out to be!
    Together with AVEVA’s event and content team, we designed, planned, and delivered the entire production at the Allianz MiCo Arena:equipment, branding, signage, booths, furniture, decor, plants, LED screens, stages, staff, and all the infrastructure needed to set up and execute an international flagship event for 4,000 guests from around the world.
    The event included, among other things:
    • A keynote hall for 3,000 attendees
    • 18 breakout scenes
    • An Innovation Zone with 90 booths
    • A major outdoor event featuring live performances, including one by Roxette
    • Complete venue branding and wayfinding for the entire facility
    AVEVA World was set up over three intense days, running from Monday through Thursday last week—and was then dismantled in just 24 hours.
    A total of 20 trailers carrying equipment were used to fill the arena with materials, which were handled by over 150 people on site. All structures were created using our beMatrix system, in which over 3,000 frames were covered with more than 6,000 m² of printed graphics.
    We are incredibly proud to have served as production managers for this project. In terms of scope, it is one of Adapt’s largest projects in history. But what makes this project extra special is that we’ve been able to utilize our full range of expertise in design, 3D visualization, equipment, exhibitions, branding, print, and project management in close collaboration with AVEVA’s content team. When production, equipment content work together seamlessly, the result is something truly special.
    The project was made possible thanks to a close and fantastic collaboration with our invaluable beMatrix partner, ABS Group in Italy—a partnership that truly demonstrates the power of combining our own resources with those of strong local partners.
    A heartfelt and sincere thank you to everyone involved in the project—no one left out, and above all to AVEVA for their trust and the wonderful collaboration throughout the project.

  4. Successful 3D Scanning in Chicago

    Comments Off on Successful 3D Scanning in Chicago

    This week, we’ve continued our ambitious project to 3D-scan all of the world’s event and exhibition venues. Our expert, Isak , just returned from Chicago, where he 3D-scanned parts of the well-known McCormick Place for one of our clients.

    Today, 3D scanning has become an integral part of how we at Adapt plan our projects. By creating digital twins of venues, we can operate faster, smarter, and with a level of detail that significantly impacts project execution even before on-site presence. This provides us and our clients with a clear, shared vision from the outset (and significantly fewer surprises on-site).

    Our 3D scans provide an exact digital twin that allows us to navigate, extract precise measurements, and analyze from all angles. We can also generate a complete point cloud of the entire facility, which we utilize in our 3D tools to create realistic visualizations in advance. Click the link in the comments and experience it yourself!

    The result is well-designed solutions, assurance for all project stakeholders, and more efficient productions. While we may not manage to 3D scan every venue worldwide, we are methodically working through the list with great dedication! A big thank you to our clients and our team for their trust. The next destination awaits.

    Over 1,000 attendees convened at the Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre as Arrow Electronics presented its flagship event, "5 Years Out" – a day dedicated to equipment, innovation, and the future of business.

    In collaboration with the agency Telegraf, we managed the technical and operational production, encompassing everything from scenography and AV equipment to booth construction and exhibitor support. The project commenced with 3D scanning of the venues and comprehensive visualizations to establish optimal workflows, precise proportions, and a unified objective well in advance of physical setup.

    The agenda featured keynotes from industry leaders such as IBM, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Dell Technologies, and Symantec, complemented by breakout sessions, panel discussions, and an exhibition showcasing over 30 premier suppliers. This constituted a comprehensive experience where content, interactions, and equipment seamlessly integrated throughout the event.

    We extend our sincere gratitude to Arrow and Telegraf for their trust and the exceptional collaboration. It is consistently rewarding to facilitate new engagement platforms for such a dedicated and numerous audience.
