- 1. TRADE SHOW CUSTOM PURCHASE & CUSTOM RENTAL
- 2. PAGE2 INTRODUCTION nParallel specializes in communicating your brand, your message and your truth at eye level and arm’s length. Whether trade show exhibit hall, retail, distributor location or a corporate lobby, it is always at the critical intersection of shopping vs. buying. Our team has partnered with global brands like Microsoft, Nike, Bridgestone, Aveda, Under Armour, Cambria, Medtronic, New Era, Crocs and many others. We understand what really matters and we deliver on time, on budget and spot on effective. nParallel was opened in 2003 by a team loaded with extensive industry experience spanning a variety of sectors. Since then, nParallel has been recognized twice by the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal as one of the “Fast 50” companies in the Twin Cities; and its co-owner and president, Megan Diamond, as one of the 25 Women to Watch in business in the Twin Cities. The company has been ranked on the Inc. Magazine’s “Inc. 5000” fastest growing privately held companies; and most recently, in February of 2014, nParallel was honored on Event Marketer magazine’s Fab50 list of the top 50 exhibit designers in the U.S. Our creative team has taken Best-In-Show hardware many times over for world-class design, which, we can’t lie, makes us smile. But the truest and only accolades that matter are those of happy and successful clients.
- 3. PAGE3 BRAND STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT BUILDING CONFIDENCE Study, strategy, site surveying and just plain smarts will always precede the physical build up of your project. This is the Define phase of our Define, Design & Deliver process. We devote a massive amount of brain cells to making certain that when people arrive at the intersection of shopping vs. buying, they know exactly which direction go. Bridgestone Executive Symposium
- 4. PAGE4 DESIGNED ON PURPOSE They say design surrounds us at all times, and never is that more true than with the works we design. At nParallel, we are equal parts marketers, architects, engineers, performance artists and designers with a side of Rock nRoll drummer wannabes. This high-energy hybrid is evident in the way we design for trade show spaces, full-on retail environments, P.O.P. displays, fixturing and more. Design is the critical part two in our ever-present Define, Design & Deliver mantra. DESIGN Wolters Kluwer Health Trade Show Exhibit Sage Glass Exhibit Aveda Trade Show Exhibit

- 7. PAGE7 ENGINEERING RIGHT ANGLES nParallel engineers are a special breed. First, they love a great show. They engineer for the competing realities of real-world spaces (aka., trade show insanity) and the harsh realities of shipping, assembly and the unending tick of the clock. They engineer ingeniously and prep smart with prototypes. They create, prepare and think from every direction so you can stay focused on one direction. We wouldn’t trade them for any crew. Chief Trade Show Exhibit “Companies’ relationships with exhibit agencies come and go. Our relationship with nParallel has endured because we can depend on them. That longevity stands as the most compelling endorsement we can give.” - Sallie Baker, Manager of Exhibits & Special Events, Chief Mfg.
- 8. PAGE8 MAKING IT BETTER Ultimately, all the Defining, Designing & Delivering on earth means nada if fabrication is second rate. Our craftspeople are top-shelf pros with years of experience putting the pieces together and making a concept a creation. Whether we fabricate internally or through one of our vested and valued strategic partners—it will be brilliant. FABRICATION & GRAPHIC PRODUCTION Micros Trade Show Exhibit
- 9. PAGE9 QUALITY CONTROL FINAL MIDAS TOUCHES From the simplest set-up to the most complex Rubik extravaganza, nParallel handles them all with extreme care. Assembly is a fine art of precision, finishing is a keen-eyed disci- pline of detail and quality control overarches everything we do (and don’t do). Wilson Tool Trade Show Exhibit “nParallel is strategic in exhibit design and visionary in the application of technology, yet down-to-earth and practical.” – -Jeff Paulson, Director of Worldwide Marketing, Wilson Tool International
- 10. PAGE10 HOME OR AWAY We are here, there and everywhere we need to be to make certain that schedules are kept, plans are executed and brains are headache-free. Shipping to one location or 1,000 locations, we are proud helicopter parents to our projects (and we know where to rent a helicopter if needed). Whether we’re getting it to a far-flung there or we’re keeping it snug and safe here—you will sleep well. LOGISTICS & WAREHOUSING Bridgestone MinExpo Trade Show Exhibit

At nParallel, we realize that anything from the smallest bolt to the largest snowstorm can derail trade show success.

ENVIRONMENTALISTS Aveda Trade Show Exhibit display table made from reclaimed black walnut ““We challenged nParallel with the creation of a non-traditional trade show booth that featured specific experiential elements designed to showcase the Aveda culture, mission, vision and values. Their understanding of our goals was creatively reflected in both concepting and execution of the booth design and fabrication. nParallel not only met, but exceeded our expectations.” – - Kevin Molin, Vice President Technical Education, Aveda
