How a fully themed trade show booth stole the show and set the tone for the entire event
When Ferrilli partnered with Exhibit Experience to create a standout presence at Ellucian Live 2025 in Orlando, they didn’t just want visibility — they wanted a vibe. What resulted was a completely custom trade show exhibit that transformed the exhibit hall entrance into a tropical, interactive beach retreat.
And it wasn’t just eye-catching — it was the talk of the show.
Instant Impact: The Booth Everyone Was Talking About
Positioned right at the front of the exhibit floor, the Ferrilli Beach Bar became the unofficial welcome mat for Ellucian Live 2025.
Attendees were snapping photos. Fellow trade show exhibit companies were complimenting the craftsmanship. Show organizers stopped by to say, “This is how it’s done.” Even our own team couldn’t stop smiling — seeing the buzz, the interaction, and the client’s excitement reminded us why we love this work.
Whether they came for the branded coconuts, the lifeguard chair selfies, the beachside chats, or the happy hour at the tiki bar — everyone came back for more.

“I didn’t know trade show displays could feel this immersive.”
“You raised the bar for themed convention booth design.”
As a full-service exhibit company, it’s one thing to build something beautiful — it’s another to see it resonate so deeply with attendees, peers, and organizers alike.
