At Datum, we believe that successful event management is about more than just showing up on the day with a pop-up banner and a smile. It’s about strategy, preparation, flawless execution – and above all – making sure your brand has impact, from the first point of contact to the final handshake.
With over 30 years of experience in print, Datum has evolved into a full-service event partner. Our integrated Print Project Management Model is designed to remove the stress and fragmentation that can plague event planning. Instead, we offer a streamlined, collaborative service that covers every stage of your journey – from pre-event logistics to post-event materials.
Compliance-Ready, Concept-Led
Whether you’re hosting a local business expo, attending an international trade show, or managing a public-facing educational event, Datum ensures your entire project complies with relevant standards. From RAMS documentation to risk assessments and installation protocols, our team is experienced in working with facilities teams, venue coordinators, and health and safety officers.
But it’s not just about box-ticking. We bring creative expertise from the outset, helping you shape engaging, visually striking environments that tell your story. Through initial client workshops and detailed briefs, we translate your ideas into practical outputs – creating moodboards, concepts, visuals, and CGI mock-ups that bring your space to life before anything goes to print.
Site Surveys and Strategic Planning
Datum’s support begins long before the first design is drafted. Our team conducts comprehensive site surveys to assess space, access, installation requirements, and visitor flow. This upfront attention to detail informs smarter layouts, signage plans, and asset selection – ensuring that every graphic and structure is functional, compliant, and impactful.
Having a seasoned project manager to handle these pre-event elements doesn’t just reduce risk – it saves time and money. It ensures the final execution matches your expectations, and avoids common pitfalls like incorrect dimensions, late deliveries, or overlooked compliance issues.
Full-Service Production and Build
Once your visuals are approved, we oversee the full production and delivery process, managing both in-house tasks and our trusted supplier network. From large-format graphics and modular exhibition stands to bespoke furniture and lighting, every item is built to the highest standards and delivered on time.
On-site installation is included as part of our offer. Our experienced team handles all logistics, setup, and breakdown – leaving you free to focus on what matters most: engaging your audience. We manage all liaison with venues and ensure strict alignment with scheduling and access regulations.
Beyond the Stand: Supporting Materials That Deliver
A well-designed stand is only part of the equation. Our Print Project Management Model includes supporting collateral that elevates your presence and extends your message. Whether you need brochures, leaflets, flyers, branded merchandise, or takeaway packs, Datum designs, produces and delivers.
Our approach guarantees consistency – every piece you hand out reflects the same brand tone, visual identity, and level of care as your main stand. And because we manage the entire production timeline, you won’t be caught short on event day.
Event Management that Delivers ROI
The ultimate goal of any event investment is ROI – whether that’s leads, visibility, sales, or partnerships. Datum’s print project management model is designed with outcomes in mind. We don’t just deliver assets – we deliver strategy, service, and sustained support.
This means helping you identify goals early, shaping materials to align with them, and analysing outcomes to inform future planning. With a single point of contact, a collaborative design team, and a production partner rolled into one, you can expect a level of agility and efficiency that few standalone suppliers can match.
