We enjoy working with companies and organizations who plan large-scale events. Sometimes just figuring out how to get attendees to the correct locations can be a major undertaking! Fortunately, we’re pretty good at planning, designing, and installing directional signage to help attendees easily find their way!
Recently, we were commissioned to create a variety of wayfinding (also called directional) signs for the
National Society for Financial Studies (SFS) Cavalcade North America 2017 event held at the
Owen Graduate School of Management at Vanderbilt University. The 3-day event was spread out among several buildings, so bold, eye-catching directional signage was a necessity!
For the outside areas, we installed graphics on a variety of surfaces including:
- vinyl signs on brick entrances
- textured sidewalk decals
- yard signs
- window graphics

These vinyl graphics were installed on the outside brick exterior of the main event building. They were easily removed after the event. 12-Point SignWorks - Franklin, TN[/caption]

We installed wayfinding signs on a variety of outdoor surfaces, including doorways, windows, sidewalks, columns, brick walls, and stairways! 12-Point SignWorks - Franklin TN[/caption]
Inside the buildings, we installed branded directional signs which pointed the way to events, including:
- a registration banner
- door signs
- stair signage
- column banners
- floor decals
- signage on elevator doors

As you can see, signs were placed everywhere to ensure attendees would know where to go! 12-Point SignWorks - Franklin, TN[/caption]

In addition, we installed prominent (you can’t miss them!) restroom signs as well as general informational signs (announcing session times, locations, meals, and breaks.) The majority of the signs were high-quality, low-tack adhesive and were easily removed after the event.

Vinyl graphic signs were also installed on the floors. The attendees for this conference were definitely well-informed! 12-Point SignWorks - Franklin, TN[/caption]
As you can see, wayfinding signage is a great way to to help people navigate around your location. It is also effective as a permanent solution in larger facilities or venues (such as churches, universities, warehouses, and large office buildings.) No matter the surface, we can help you design the perfect signage for your event or organization. Contact us today at (615) 595-6564!
