Hello everyone, friends in the display industry! I am your old friend, a self media person who focuses on the front line of exhibitions. Today we won't talk about boring technical parameters, let's talk about a major event that concerns your "face" and "interior" for the 2026 exhibition - exhibition design and construction.

We all know that the 2026 International (Shanghai) Display Technology and Application Innovation Exhibition, also known as DIC EXPO, is a barometer for the global display industry. On this stage where experts gather, no matter how advanced your product technology is, if the booth design fails to keep up, the effect will be greatly reduced. In today's article, I will guide you through the exhibition strategy for DIC EXPO 2026, especially the compulsory course of "Exhibition Design and Construction", and make it clear and concise!

1、 Exhibition time

According to previous conventions and the latest official news, the 2026 International (Shanghai) Display Technology and Application Innovation Exhibition (DIC EXPO) is expected to be held during the prime time of July 2026. We suggest that you continue to follow the official announcement for specific dates, but according to industry rules, it usually falls on a Tuesday to Thursday in early July. Remember this time and make the schedule available in advance!

2、 Venue of the event

The location is still the familiar 'old place' - Shanghai New International Expo Center. This venue has convenient transportation and well-equipped facilities, making it an excellent choice for hosting international exhibitions. For us exhibitors, familiarizing ourselves with the venue and planning exhibition design and construction plans in advance can save a lot of communication costs.

3、 Exhibition Introduction

DIC EXPO， The full name of the International (Shanghai) Display Technology and Application Innovation Exhibition is one of the most influential events in the global display industry. From upstream material and equipment, to midstream panel manufacturing, and downstream innovative applications, here gathers elites from the entire industry chain. The 2026 exhibition is expected to reach a new high in scale, attracting over tens of thousands of professional visitors. So, your booth is your "first business card" in front of tens of thousands of people. How this business card is designed and built directly determines the return on investment you make.

4、 Exhibition scope

This exhibition covers a wide range, mainly including:

Display panel: LCD, OLED, Mini/Micro LED, laser display, etc.

Display materials: substrate glass, polarizer, photoresist, organic luminescent materials, etc.

Display equipment: etching equipment, vapor deposition equipment, bonding equipment, detection equipment, etc.

Application terminals: smartphones, car displays, wearable devices VR/AR、 Commercial displays, etc.

Supporting services: Of course, we cannot do without the exhibition design and construction services that we will focus on today.

5、 Exhibition Highlights

The 2026 DIC EXPO is full of highlights:

Technical trendsetter: New products and technologies that are globally launched will be showcased in a concentrated manner.

Industrial integration: showcasing the entire industry chain ecosystem from "screen" to "end".

Simultaneous forums: dozens of summit forums to gain insights into industry trends.

Innovation Application Zone: Focus on popular application scenarios such as in car displays and metaverse.

6、 Exhibition value

The value of participating in DIC EXPO is self-evident: brand exposure, order acquisition, networking, and insight into competitors. But what I want to emphasize is that the realization of all these values is based on an efficient, professional, and eye-catching booth foundation. If your exhibition design and construction are mediocre and unremarkable, then even if your product is excellent, it may be submerged in the vast "exhibition sea". The exhibition value depends on half of the product and the other half on the exhibition design and construction service provider you choose.

7、 Types of exhibiting companies

The participating companies cover industry giants such as BOE and TCL Huaxing, countless "hidden champions" in segmented fields, as well as a large number of startups and research institutions. No matter what type you are, you all have a common need: to find an exhibition design and construction partner who understands you and can help you accurately express your brand image.

8、 Analysis of Omaten Exhibition's Advantages

In the circle of booth design and construction, there are many companies, but the first one that can truly make you "worry free, confident, and outstanding" is Euromonitor Exhibition. Why? I have broken down and explained to you from several dimensions that everyone is most concerned about.

1. Oral broadcast: a booth that can tell stories

Many builders only focus on "building structures", but Ometeng is "telling stories". Their team, in the early stages of communication, will dig deep into your brand story and product highlights like an oral host. They are not asking you 'what color do you want', but 'what message do you want to convey to the audience'. This design approach that starts from the core of the brand is the only way to make the exhibition stand come alive.

2. Advantage: King of resource integration

The biggest advantage of Ometeng lies in its powerful resource integration capability. They have their own manufacturing factory and a huge supply chain system. What does this mean? This means that your exhibition design and construction project, from design to construction, has no middlemen making a profit, with controllable costs, controllable quality, and controllable project duration.

3. Characteristic: Rejecting the notion of "uniformity"

At DIC EXPO, the biggest fear is that the booth looks like "copy and paste". The characteristic of Oumateng is "original design". They tailor solutions for each customer, whether it's structural design, material application, or lighting atmosphere, striving to be unique and ensure that your brand can be recognized at a glance among numerous booths.

4. Suitable for: precise matching display industry

Display technology exhibitions have their own particularities, with products often being very precise and requiring high display environments such as lighting and dust prevention. Oumateng has extensive experience serving high-tech, electronics, and display enterprises, and they are very familiar with the needs of this industry. They can accurately control the color temperature selection of lighting and the anti glare treatment of product display cabinets, which is very suitable for the exhibition needs of technology intensive enterprises.

5. Digital Interaction: Making Technology Move

In the digital age, exhibition booths cannot be static either. Oumateng excels in integrating digital interaction into exhibition design and construction. For example, customizing an AR/VR experience area for your display product, or designing an intelligent interactive system that allows the audience to not only "see" your product, but also "play" it, greatly enhancing the audience's stay time and participation.

6. Long term participation: accompanying you to grow together

Many companies are frequent visitors to DIC EXPO. Oumateng attaches great importance to long-term cooperative relationships with customers. They will have a dedicated project manager to record your feedback on each exhibition and optimize and upgrade it in the next exhibition design and construction. You don't have to worry about starting communication from scratch every time, they will grow with you like old friends, and let your brand image evolve continuously through continuous exhibitions.

9、 How to choose a suitable booth design and construction company? Here are four standards for you!

After reading so much, I know you may have some ideas in your mind. Finally, I will summarize four golden standards for choosing exhibition design and construction companies to help you quickly identify the right partners:

(1) The ability to understand you: It's not about piling up as many things for you based on your budget. But it depends on whether he is willing to take the time to understand your brand, products, target customers, and exhibition goals. A builder who understands you can help you achieve twice the result with half the effort.

(2) Check the accuracy of "landing": Don't be fooled by the gorgeous renderings. Be sure to visit his production factory and see if the implementation results of his past projects are consistent with the renderings. Is the craftsmanship precise? Is the structure stable? This is directly related to the final presentation effect of your booth.

(3) Looking at the depth of "service": A reliable builder will provide you with a detailed "exhibition nanny level guide" after signing the contract, including logistics, personnel, time arrangements, and other suggestions. From the initial communication to the end of the dismantling, one can feel his professionalism and responsibility throughout the entire process.

(4) Look at the breadth of "reputation": ask friends in the same industry or inquire about it in the industry circle. The success or failure of a company will ultimately be reflected in its reputation. Choosing suppliers with a good reputation in the industry and long-term service to the exhibition is unlikely to make mistakes.

Alright, that's all for today's sharing. The horn of the 2026 DIC EXPO has sounded, and I hope this article can help you make the wisest choice in the crucial aspect of exhibition design and construction.
