DisplayMode at the VM & Display Show 2025: Innovation, Interaction & Lots of Fun
April 2025 – London, UK
This year was our very first time exhibiting at the VM & Display Show – and what a brilliant time we had! As the UK’s top event for visual merchandising and retail displays, the 2025 show brought together some of the best minds in retail, design, and POS. We were proud to be part of it and excited about the interesting conversations we had throughout the event.
Showing Off What We’re Made Of!
At DisplayMode, we’re all about creating display units that turn retail spaces into memorable and engaging experiences – and this show was the perfect place to share that. While many people know us for our End of Arm Reflex Sign Holder range (which we love, of course), not everyone realises we’ve also got in-house design and manufacturing capabilities too. So, our stand this year was all about showcasing both sides of what we do: robust and durable end of arm retail signage and fully custom visual merchandising tools and retail display solutions.
And because we’re a small, friendly team who love a good chat, we didn’t want to just build a stand – we wanted to build an experience. Enter: our custom-made mini golf challenge (yes, we made that too!). Visitors had a blast trying for a hole-in-one, and it gave us a great excuse to have some fun and get talking to everyone who stopped by. And as a thank you to everyone who connected with us at the show, we hosted a free giveaway—congratulations to a member of the VM team at Panache Lingerie, who walked away with a brand-new pair of Apple AirPods!
Great People, Great Ideas, Great Event
As first time exhibitors at the show, it was fascinating to see how varied the offerings are within the sphere of Visual Merchandising and Retail Displays. Exhibitors from all over the world, were there showcasing their products and what they contribute to this exciting and innovative industry. It proves that there’s space for us all and we all share the same passion for highlighting the importance of those IRL moments, in a world that’s becoming more and more dominated by virtual experience.
The feedback we received from other exhibitors and visitors to the show was fantastic – from industry professionals to curious newcomers, it was amazing to connect with so many people. Beyond the displays and demos, the show was a chance to catch up with existing clients, make new connections, and soak in the creativity on display.
One theme that really stood out was sustainability and flexibility – it’s clear that versatile and reusable design is top of mind for a lot of brands right now, which aligns closely with our own approach.
What’s Next?
We left London full of energy and ideas. Being part of events like this reminds us why we do what we do – and how exciting the future of physical retail still is.
A huge thank you to everyone who visited our stand, tried the golf challenge, or just stopped by for a chat. And if we didn’t get to meet this time, our team would still love to hear from you!
See you next year, VM & Display Show!
