How should an I/ITSEC Cyber Pavilion booth be planned?

An I/ITSEC Cyber Pavilion booth should start with one clear training scenario, the roles involved, and what observers need to understand as the exercise unfolds. Role-based cyber and wargaming demos may require several workstations, a simplified observer dashboard, reliable connectivity, offline backup content, technical storage, and a quieter area for program or integration discussions.

OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW

The I/ITSEC Cyber Pavilion brings together cyber, electromagnetic warfare, wargaming, and information warfare technologies. Exhibits may include cyber ranges, mission rehearsal platforms, command interfaces, networked training applications, scenario tools, workforce development programs, and systems built for multi-role exercises.

The display needs to make the exercise understandable to more than the people sitting at the workstations. Visitors should be able to identify the scenario, the roles involved, what changed during the exercise, and why the result matters without reading every technical screen. Broader show and venue information is available in the I/ITSEC 2026 exhibitor planning hub, while playable game-based training projects are covered in I/ITSEC Serious Games Showcase planning.

Station count, operator access, observer screens, cable routes, equipment racks, backup content, and discussion areas should be settled before the structure is finalized. A compact exercise with several role-based stations and one observer dashboard may fit a 20x20 booth, while larger station groups need more separation. Orlando trade show booth rental planning provides the local production and move-in context for OCCC.

Booth Size Planning for Cyber Training and Wargaming Demos

Booth Size Planning for Cyber Training and Wargaming Demos

Choose the footprint around the number of roles, workstations, observer screens, technical equipment, waiting visitors, and discussion needs. Additional stations only help when the exercise remains easy to follow.

10x20 Single-Scenario Demo

10x20 Single-Scenario Demo

Use a 10x20 booth for a focused cyber or wargaming demonstration with a limited number of stations, one observer display, and a short explanation area.

20x30 Demo, Briefing, and Discussion

20x30 Demo, Briefing, and Discussion

Move to a 20x30 booth when the exhibit needs separate briefing, active stations, external viewing, technical control, and a quieter integration or program discussion area.

20x20 Multi-Role Exercise

20x20 Multi-Role Exercise

A 20x20 booth gives a multi-role exercise room for several user stations, an instructor or control point, one observer dashboard, technical storage, and limited discussions.

30x40 Connected Training Environment

30x40 Connected Training Environment

A 30x40 booth suits larger station groups, linked scenarios, wider observer zones, overhead visibility, storage, and private meetings.

Planning a Cyber Range Demo Workflow

Planning a Cyber Range Demo Workflow

A multi-user cyber demo should make the scenario, participant roles, workstations, observer dashboard, and reset process easy to follow. The cyber range demo workflow guide explains how to connect these parts so participants can run the exercise while nearby visitors understand what is happening and why the result matters.

Display Needs for Cyber Pavilion Demonstrations

Display Needs for Cyber Pavilion Demonstrations

Cyber Pavilion displays need to communicate a digital exercise through physical stations, simplified visuals, reliable technical infrastructure, and a clear transition from demonstration to discussion.

Scenario Briefing and Role Labels

Scenario Briefing and Role Labels

Give visitors a clear starting point before they watch the exercise. Identify the mission, participating roles, training objective, and expected result.

Multi-User Station Layout

Multi-User Station Layout

Arrange workstations so active users can collaborate without blocking operator access or surrounding sightlines. Cable routes and technical support should remain outside the visitor path.

Observer Dashboard and Result View

Observer Dashboard and Result View

Use a larger display to show key actions, status changes, and the exercise result. The observer view should explain the scenario without exposing every technical screen.

Connectivity, Fallback, and Discussion Space

Connectivity, Fallback, and Discussion Space

Plan live network access together with local data, recorded content, equipment storage, and a quieter area where technical teams can discuss integration after the demonstration.

Not Sure Which Booth Size You Need?

Not every exhibitor knows whether a 10x20, 20x20, 20x30, or larger booth is the right fit. Circle Exhibit can help review your event goals, product display needs, demo areas, meeting space, storage, budget scope, and setup timeline before you choose a booth size.

Exhibiting Challenges

Exhibiting Challenges

The Scenario Is Hard to Read From the Aisle

The Scenario Is Hard to Read From the Aisle

Workstation screens may show detailed interfaces without explaining the larger exercise. Visitors need a quick view of the mission, participating roles, and intended training outcome.

User Roles Blend Together

Attacker, defender, instructor, analyst, and operator roles become difficult to follow when stations look identical or lack clear labels and sightlines.

Workstations Turn Away From Observers

Screens positioned only for active users can leave surrounding visitors watching the backs of monitors. A separate observer display should simplify the exercise without copying every interface.

The Demo Depends on Live Connectivity

The Demo Depends on Live Connectivity

Remote systems, live data, cloud access, and connected stations can fail for reasons outside the booth team’s control. The presentation needs an offline or recorded path.

Logins and Scenario Resets Slow the Demo

Logins and Scenario Resets Slow the Demo

Account access, role changes, data loading, and scenario resets can create long gaps between sessions. The next demonstration should be prepared without stopping visitor conversations.

Open Demos Disrupt Technical Discussions

Open Demos Disrupt Technical Discussions

Repeated narration, screen activity, and groups around the stations can interfere with government, partner, or integration conversations elsewhere in the booth.

Preparation Steps

Preparation Steps

1

Choose One Scenario to Lead With

Select a scenario that can be understood quickly and connects the system to a clear training, readiness, decision-making, or mission objective.

Rental vs Custom Build for Cyber Pavilion Exhibitors

Rental vs Custom Build for Cyber Pavilion Exhibitors

Rental Booth for Screen-Based Cyber Demos

A rental structure works well for software-led demonstrations, a limited group of workstations, observer screens, branded graphics, and compact 10x20 or 20x20 layouts.

Custom Build for Connected Mission Environments

A custom build becomes more useful when several station groups, equipment racks, overhead branding, private discussion areas, unusual cable access, or integrated control points shape the layout.

Hybrid Booth for Reusable Technical Systems

A reusable rental structure with custom workstations, equipment interfaces, cable access, storage, and graphic elements can support repeat use without treating every show as a new build.

South Concourse Station Setup

South Concourse Station Setup

At the OCCC South Concourse, workstation clusters, observer displays, equipment racks, storage, and aisle access should be confirmed before electrical and network service locations are finalized.

Scenario Flow and Visitor Positioning

Scenario Flow and Visitor Positioning

Place the briefing point, active users, waiting visitors, and observer screen so the scenario remains readable without surrounding the workstations.

Network and Installation Coordination

Network and Installation Coordination

Treat electrical service, wired connectivity, AV routing, equipment arrival, cable management, and installation sequencing as one technical workstream.

Live and Offline Readiness Check

Live and Offline Readiness Check

Before opening, test account access, station roles, dashboard routing, connectivity, local data, recorded content, reset timing, and the transition into the next session.

I/ITSEC Cyber Pavilion Booth Rental Planning

A rental booth can support role-based workstations, cyber range demos, observer dashboards, scenario graphics, equipment storage, and technical discussions. Larger station groups or complex cable and control requirements may need custom components within the rental structure.
