ExpoDisplays has launched the new LP Canopy/Light System™ for the MultiQuad® Exhibit System. Combined with the existing ET Canopy/Light System™, MultiQuad exhibitors now have two choices for adding tension fabric canopies and lights. The LP Canopy/Light System installs with no tools and mounts flush against the top of the MultiQuad for a sleek, low profile appearance. As with the ET system, the LP version offers built-in lighting that shines down on the MultiQuad wall. The LP Canopy/Light system offers a variety of sizes, starting at 23" wide for single MultiQuad towers and up to 115" to cover an entire 10’ wide display. Canopies can be combined together to cover any length MultiQuad Exhibit System.

The lights are integrated into the frame allowing for a truly, self-contained design. The canopies not only polish the look of the MultiQuad exhibit, but are lightweight, rigid and highly portable. LP Canopy/Light Systems pack into 2’ x 4’ boxes and cases for easy transporting and shipping. This new canopy light system provides a clean and modern style to ExpoDisplays’ MultiQuad Exhibit System.

"We’ve given MultiQuad exhibitors a new sleek, low profile way to add decorative canopies and lighting in one simple product," says ExpoDisplays Research and Development Manager, Nick Imsand.

Birmingham, AL -- The University of Alabama Athletics Department recently commissioned ExpoDisplays, a Birmingham based designer and manufacturer of exhibits, museums and interiors, to create the newest display set for the television football series The Saban Show. Hosted by University of Alabama Head Football Coach, Nick Saban and football announcer, Chris Stewart, the show covers Alabama Crimson Tide Football highlights from the previous game with coach commentaries. It also features university sponsors and fan interaction segments, i.e. Fan Questions for the Coach.

For the new 2011 season, the University of Alabama wanted to create a new desk and backdrop for the weekly show. Since the display will be used in multiple locations and during away football games, ExpoDisplays designers and account executives worked with University of Alabama representatives to create a portable display the university could be proud of.

Set up is a breeze, taking under ten minutes to install. The backdrop consists of three pieces. The middle is an ExpoVoom™ fabric pop-up display boasting The Saban Show football graphic and is flanked on left and right by two DiamondFlex™banner stands, each listing National Championship years and one of the University of Alabama logos. The desk is a serpentine style "Euro" desk with deep crimson base, frosted plex accent panels, under-the-counter lighting and University logo. The collapsible ExpoVoom and retractable DiamondFlex banner stands store easily in one oval case and the desk into four flat cases for maximum portability. Since the graphics of the ExpoVoom and DiamondFlex can be replaced in a pinch, this display can also be utilized for other sports such as basketball and gymnastics. This display is yet another great example of combining multiple ExpoDisplays products to create an impressive display.

Birmingham, AL -- Method-1 Museums, a division of Birmingham, Alabama-based ExpoDisplays, recently completed a new traveling exhibit for the World Golf Hall of Fame based in St. Augustine, Florida. After extending its showing of Bob Hope: Shanks for the Memory exhibit into 2011, the World Golf Hall of Fame & Museum contracted Method-1 to transform it into a traveling exhibition with the support of the Bob & Dolores Hope Foundation. Bob Hope: An American Treasure, will embark on a five-year tour this fall.

"The challenge of designing an exhibit that spans the career of Bob Hope was daunting but enjoyable," said Wes Wilson, Method-1 Account Executive and project lead. "Discovering his life, and all the others that he touched, motivated us to create an experience that would be as memorable as the man."

The 2,500-square foot exhibit will open in October at the Green Bay Packers Hall of Fame in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Following a three-month engagement, it will open at the President Gerald R. Ford Library and Museum in Grand Rapids, Michigan, for a February-June 2012 exhibition. The tour is scheduled to continue through 2015.

"Bob Hope is a transcendent figure not just in golf, but in American history," said Jack Peter, World Golf Hall of Fame Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. "His story is so compelling that we felt it was the ideal candidate to build into our first traveling exhibition. We are honored to have the support of the Bob & Dolores Hope Foundation in this exciting venture."

Bob Hope: An American Treasure will feature more than 150 artifacts, including Hope’s PGA money clip, an honorary Oscar statuette, Honorary Veterans citation, and Congressional gold medal. More than 200 vintage photos and several video displays will tell the story about Hope's early years as part of an immigrant family in the early 20th century, his rise as a star of stage, screen and radio, the relationships he had with U.S. presidents, his devotion to the U.S. military and his love of golf.

Method-1 Custom Interiors of Birmingham, Alabama recently completed a donor recognition wall for the Cullman Regional Medical Center Foundation in Cullman, Alabama.  The foundation was seeking a creative way to give honor to their exceptional donors. 

Method-1 Custom Interiors of Birmingham, Alabama recently completed the design and development of a donor recognition wall for the Cullman Regional Medical Center Foundation. The donor wall was created as a way of honoring those who donated to the foundation’s emergency department capital campaign, which managed to raise more than $6,000,000 for the enhancement of the emergency care in the Cullman area.

The Method-1 design team listened to the goals of the foundation and created a custom wall that showcased approximately 400 donors. The names of campaign donors are imprinted on an internal glass plate wall spotlighted by recessed lighting. This focal point accents the foundation's logo which appears on the backdrop behind the glass. Employee donors were recognized separately with their names etched into the plexi-glass surround. The whole piece comes together with an overview of the campaign story and a recessed 42" monitor that plays presentations, gives weather updates and more.  This allows the wall to be educational as well as relational to those who pass by the donor wall.

The foundation’s executive director, Darla West, extended her appreciation of the Method-1 team’s success with the following statement, "Method-1 has a passion for guest excellence and making sure that clients are completely satisfied with the end product."

ExpoDisplays, creator of the MultiQuad® exhibit system, is taking the trade show display to new heights with the launch of MultiQuad Towers. Utilizing the unique, easy-to-use, aluminum framework of the MultiQuad, ExpoDisplays gives exhibitors the ability to create a trade show tower with heights up to 16 feet. Each MultiQuad Tower can be arranged in a variety of widths, depths and configurations to meet any size booth space, need or budget.

Utilizing a MultiQuad Tower is not only an innovative and attractive exhibit option; it's a smart move, helping to eliminate the cost and trouble of traditional hanging signs. Company logos or marketing messages can be placed anywhere across the top of the tower, propelling the message high above other exhibits, for maximum trade show visibility. With a lightweight structure and compact packing system, MultiQuad Towers pack and ship in one or two crates, helping to keep operating expenses (shipping, drayage, labor, etc.) manageable.

To help exhibitors envision how the MultiQuad Tower system works, ExpoDisplays has created eight introductory packages of uniquely designed towers. For one set fee, exhibitors can purchase a pre-designed MultiQuad Tower package that contains everything needed to construct the design, including the framework, Quads™ and shipping container(s). Backed by ExpoDisplays’ "Always in Stock™" promise of inventory, exhibitors have the option of choosing to purchase or rent a MultiQuad Tower at any time. Visit www.MultiQuad.com/towers.php to view the available options / pre-designed kits; each is represented with renderings shown from different views, and includes the pricing, weights and resourceful line drawings.
