Stands Designed for Registration & Welcome Environments
Registration and welcome areas set the tone for the entire event or venue. These stands must be approachable,
organized, compact, and durable, while supporting staff workflows like check-in, badge scanning, wayfinding,
and guest communication—often in high-traffic areas with limited space.
SoapBoxx podium systems are designed for real front-of-house conditions—long lines, constant interaction,
frequent repositioning, and fast setup. Modular designs allow venues and organizers to deploy professional
welcome stands that improve flow without cluttering entrances or lobbies.
