8 Key Event Signage Types
1. Welcome Signs
Welcome signs are the first point of contact for your guests and set the tone for the event. They typically display the name and date of the event and are strategically placed at the entrance. They’re often floor-standing sign holders or easels, making them easy to see by everyone who enters.
Welcome signs can be creative and customised to fit the theme of the event, making guests feel immediately immersed in the atmosphere.
