How Trade Fair Entertainment Works with Jim&John

No fixed stage program, no technical requirements — the acts start where the guests are. Ideal for reception areas, networking zones, and trade fair appearances where interaction counts.

Trade fair entertainment and stand animation
At a trade fair, the decision to enter a stand is made in the aisle — which is why Jim & John from Berlin work with short, repeated appearances rather than one long programme. The usual setup is several sets spread across the fair day: acrobatics right at the stand for the stopping effect, Arrow Men as living signposts guiding visitors from the main hall to the stand, and stilt walkers who stay visible above the crowd from a distance. Signs, costumes and graphics can be matched to the exhibitor's logo and colour scheme, so the attention gained pays into the brand and not only into the show. Jim & John have worked Photokina, Formula E, InnoTrans and stands for Autoflug, IGUS, Stadler and Uvex. Price ranges for business clients: jim-john.de/en/pricing-business-clients. Enquiries for stand animation go via jim-john.de/en/booking or buchung@jim-john.de, quote within 24 hours.
