Calgon Carbon, a Kuraray Company, created an innovative exhibition space for AWWA ACE25 that strategically showcased their comprehensive four-pillar approach to customer service excellence through an immersive brand experience.
The booth featured a striking suspended ceiling element in Calgon Carbon's signature blue, incorporating branded medallions displaying their four core service pillars. The sophisticated color palette of deep blue, cyan accents, and clean whites reinforced brand recognition across the exhibition floor.
The space was organized around Calgon Carbon's customer experience pillars:
FILTRASORB Carbon - Dynamic water-themed digital displays showcasing activated carbon filtration
Reactivation Services - Visual content demonstrating regeneration capabilities
AquaKnight Equipment Vessels - Product imagery and technical information stations
Technical Expertise - Dedicated consultation areas with expert staff
Welcome Area: Open front section with high-top tables and digital displays for visitor engagement
Product Showcase: Glass-enclosed central area for protected product demonstrations and technical discussions
Meeting Space: Private rear consultation area with comfortable seating for in-depth customer conversations
Digital Integration: Multiple large-format displays showing dynamic water treatment visuals
The booth incorporated several engagement-enhancing features, including open sight lines encouraging natural flow and exploration, multiple zones accommodating different conversation types, professional lighting creating an inviting atmosphere, strategic glass partitions maintaining openness while defining spaces, and comfortable furniture supporting both brief encounters and extended technical discussions.
This exhibition space successfully positioned Calgon Carbon as a comprehensive water treatment solutions provider, moving beyond traditional product displays to demonstrate their holistic approach to customer partnership and technical expertise. The design effectively communicated their integrated solutions portfolio while creating an inclusive, professional environment for meaningful customer interactions.
