In a world eager for authentic, compelling content, nothing beats the real time buzz of an expo hall. Live action video is the most commonly created type of video content and 93% of marketers report positive ROI on their video content creation efforts (Wyzowl, 2025.) Recording podcasts, streaming interviews, and hosting mini-sessions while the event unfolds captures the excitement and turns it into marketing gold. By building content creation right into your event design strategy, you capture the energy of the show, spark authentic engagement, and extend your event’s impact.

Pop-Up Studios

Transform a corner of your show floor into a sleek, branded podcast or broadcast space. Invite industry leaders, partners, or attendees for short, dynamic interviews. The natural buzz of the show floor adds an authentic backdrop, while the recordings become evergreen episodes that keep your brand conversation going year-round.

Onsite studios allow you to capture the excitement of the show floor, host special guests, and develop evergreen content.

Expo Floor Theatres

Embed mini-theatres or a presentation nook on the expo floor to host product demos, expert panels, or “flash talks.” Stream or record each session to share across your digital channels, multiplying the value of every speaker and every minute of floor time.

Expo floor theatres expand engagement across the show floor, giving attendees the option for more education opportunities in various settings.

Social Media Zones

Designate branded spaces and immersive photo opps for real-time social content. Add elements of gamification by incorporating interactive challenges or prompts for attendees to create a song or strike a pose. Encourage guests to tag a show hashtag and display a live social wall so attendees see their own posts in action, turning them into co-creators of your event narrative.

BravoCon created a confessional space for attendees to create short-form video content to share on social.

Why it Works

Show floor content creation transforms casual foot traffic into meaningful attendee engagement. It elevates your brand as a thought leader, provides measurable ROI through shares and impressions, and generates a steady stream of media long after the event closes.

At Hargrove, we design environments that don’t just host moments, they generate them. Building content creation into your event design strategy enables you to create spaces that prioritize engagement on and off the show floor, transforming conversations into lasting stories that extend your event’s influence, and fosters community connection with your audience.
