Grand Stand Events

14/10/2025

This week is National Carers Week, a time to recognise, celebrate and raise awareness of the more than 3 million unpaid carers across Australia.

Behind every workplace are people quietly managing far more than we realise.
With one of our own currently working remotely to care for a family member, balancing professional responsibilities with compassion, patience and strength, it's an important reminder that caring often happens out of view, especially among high achievers and neurodivergent team members who may mask exhaustion or stress in their drive to deliver.

Supporting carers at work means more than flexibility. It’s about building a culture of trust, understanding and open communication.

Anyone can become a carer, at any time.

Tips to Support Carers

💚 Check in regularly
A simple message or conversation can remind someone they’re not alone.

💚 Offer a break
Even small acts — covering a meeting, helping reprioritise or offering flexible hours — can make a big difference.

💚 Acknowledge and appreciate
Recognition goes a long way. Thank them for what they bring to both their work and their caring role.

💚 Initiate support
Don’t wait to be asked. Suggest practical help or check if your workplace has wellbeing resources available.

💚 Encourage self-care
Remind carers to take time for themselves, even briefly. Rest and connection matter just as much as care.

🔗➡️ Where Can Carers Get Support?

Carer Gateway provides information and advice on the supports available to carers across Australia, and has an excellent range of online resources designed to promote carer wellbeing.

This year, we had the privilege of delivering standout spaces for QB Foods, the Poland Pavilion, Pecorino Romano and Temper Group.

Each stand had its own story, its own challenges, and its own design language, but the goal was the same: create a presence that couldn’t be missed on the busiest floor in Australia’s food and beverage calendar.

Take a look at our Fine Food 2025 highlights!

We recently had the pleasure of partnering with MA Financial Group at Sydney Contemporary to deliver a space that felt like an event within the event.

Spanning the Elston Room and foyer, we delivered a multi-zone activation designed to evolve as the day shifted into night.

The entry hut and tunnel framed the experience, the sculptural DJ booth and colour palette brought energy, and large-format banners and media walls carried the brand confidently.

The result reinforced MA Financial’s role as principal sponsor of SCAF, creating a space to host clients and connect brand to art.

When Temper Group asked us to design a compact 6×3m stand that gave both Loyal Bakeware and Colour Mill equal spotlight, we knew creativity and precision were key.

The result?

A vibrant, dual-brand showcase featuring:

• Split wall imagery and PMS-matched floor decals
• Acrylic shelving and slatwalls for clear product display
• Flush-mount signage, scalloped panels, and bright LED lighting

The stand was bold, colourful, and seamless: delivering two distinct identities within a unified space....and client feedback says it all:

“From design to construction the team were amazing. Customer service and quality is outstanding! Looking forward to working with them again!” 

We don’t just build stands. We create spaces that allow every brand to shine.

We’re just over halfway through September and looking at our calendar, we’ve had A LOT going on:

• Pharmacy Connect
• Pregnancy & Baby Expo
• Fine Food 2025
• Sydney Contemporary Art Fair
• No Vacancy 2025
• ANZIIF Claims Convention
• Growth Potential 2025 Annual Business Conference
• St Mary's Spring Festival
• Australian Steel Convention 2025
…and more.

Back-to-back bump-ins.
Back-to-back bump-outs.

Every project executed with the same precision and high standard our clients expect.

It takes more than long days and late nights to make this happen. It takes a team that’s sharp, disciplined, and deeply committed to each other and to our clients.

Designers, project managers, account managers, producers, warehouse crew, logistics — every person plays their part, and it’s that collaboration that turns pressure into performance.

This isn’t just what we do.
It’s who we are.

We couldn’t be prouder of the people who make Grand Stand Events what it is.

2025 marked 9 years of collaboration with Konami — celebrated with a 480sqm mezzanine stand built for impact, hospitality, and results.

Take a look inside the build (and the beast) that was this year’s AGE stand 👀
