Big Data LDN 2025:
Exhibition Stand
Round-Up

Posted by Richard | 01/10/2025

The Big Data LDN 2025 event, held at Olympia, London on September 24th and 25th, brought together the UK’s leading data, analytics, and AI experts. As the largest free-to-attend data and analytics event in the UK, it was a crucial platform for data professionals, business leaders, and technology innovators to connect, learn, and discover how to build agile, data-driven enterprises.

Kestra BIG DATA LDN Exhibition Stand Design

Attendees gathered to learn from over 300 expert speakers, explore cutting-edge technology from over 180 exhibitors, and gain practical insights into the latest tools and strategies for successful data projects. Graphic Mill was there to ensure our clients stood out from the crowd!

Kestra: Orchestrating an Exhibition Masterpiece

Kestra, the open-source orchestrator that simplifies complex data workflows, needed a stand that was as dynamic and powerful as their platform. We designed and built an impressive space that dominated the hall and embodied their innovative brand.

The stand featured towering 4-metre high walls that commanded attention, topped with a bold, large 3D logo. Overhead, impressive ceiling banners and a custom illuminated logo box ensured visibility from across the venue.

The experience at ground level was just as engaging. We incorporated plenty of screens for product demos and marketing videos, and the interactive “match the workflow” game was a huge hit, demonstrating data orchestration in a fun, hands-on way, complete with a custom, bright RGB LED countdown timer.

A custom illuminated canopy with illuminated slats added a modern, high-tech touch. The welcome counter was a bespoke piece, featuring a high-quality, hand-built finish and an illuminated logo that glowed with Kestra’s signature purple. Prizes were highlighted on a custom display plinth with a clear acrylic box and an opal acrylic illuminated diffuser.

To complete the look, we installed a raised sub-floor with a split flooring finish—one side featuring a custom-printed brand-colour vinyl—and embedded LED strip lights to draw the eye. The entire space was framed by a 4-metre tall bright LED trim, creating an unmissable, futuristic effect. All main structures were built using the sustainable Aluvision framework, with all custom elements and fabric graphics produced right here at Graphic Mill HQ.

Neo4j: Rooted in Graph Database Innovation

For Neo4j, the leader in graph database and analytics, we crafted a stand that brought a fresh, natural, and inviting atmosphere to the tech-heavy exhibition floor.

The design focused on their core value of connected data, delivered with a visually stunning aesthetic. The stand featured eye-catching 3-metre high walls and a warm, inviting feel thanks to wood finishes on all the counter tops.

The natural theme culminated in the stunning use of artificial moss, which was embedded into the bold Neo4j logo. This striking design continued on the central feature: an eye-catching welcome counter with an artificial moss front panel and an illuminated 3D logo that truly popped.

The stand was optimised for engagement with a freestanding demo station and a large screen for product demonstrations and presentations, ensuring visitors could easily grasp the power of graph databases in action. The natural textures and bright, clean design made Neo4j’s stand a true haven on the show floor.

The Wrap-Up: Building Success with Graphic Mill

We had a great time at Big Data LDN 2025, and judging by how busy the show was, it was a huge success for both Kestra and Neo4j. Designing and building dynamic, high-impact exhibition stands is what we do best, and we are incredibly proud of the standout spaces we created for our clients.

Every element—from the large-scale structures to the custom illuminated features and interactive elements—was designed and built at Graphic Mill, utilising the sustainable Aluvision framework and featuring high-quality graphics printed in-house by our dedicated team. We can’t wait to see what next year’s show brings!
