Building your stand for CABSAT 2026
Stand space booking goes through the organiser at cabsat.com. Once your space is confirmed, the stand build is where most of the design and budget decisions land. Broadcast and Pro AV stands tend to carry screen walls, LED displays and rack equipment, so power distribution, cable routing and load-bearing fixings need planning into the stand design from the start. New Royal Advertising, a custom exhibition stand builder in Dubai, builds custom stands for CABSAT exhibitors with everything done 100% in-house, no subcontractors, free 3D design included with every quote, and a 120-second instant quote on our site.
