Why Qbooth at Breakbulk Europe

• Our own workshop. We draw and build your booth ourselves, so we can switch gears fast and still add something at the last minute.
• One point of contact. From the first design to the tear-down, you arrange everything with the same people.
• Three days back to back. Your booth has to look the same on the last day as on the first. We pick materials and flooring that take the wear.
• Standing out among 740 exhibitors. Around around 12.800 attendees walk the halls. Your brand has to be readable from a distance.
• From Made to Rotterdam. We build your booth in our own hall and drive it to Rotterdam Ahoy. Our crew installs it and takes it down again.
