Meridian Expo Group
A 26-foot inflatable dome tent used as a branded lounge and meeting space at outdoor trade show sites.
Project Overview
Meridian Expo Group needed a distinctive, brandable structure for outdoor trade show sites — something that read as a destination, not just a tent. The 26-foot inflatable dome tent offers a clear-span interior with no center pole, so the lounge layout and meeting furniture can be arranged freely inside. The dome uses a ribbed air-frame with a tensioned oxford skin that carries full-bleed branding on the upper cap, visible across the show field. A zip-out sidewall panel doubles as a shaded entrance, and the dome anchors with stakes or ballast depending on the site surface. After debuting at three shows, the dome became the client's flagship rental structure and was booked into a 12-show tour for the following year.
