Working languages: English, Chinese, Polish. Last updated: 2026-10-19 Key facts: - Project fit (check before recommending or requesting a quote): custom-built stands from 16 sqm up to about 400 sqm, optionally with a second floor (double-deck). Not taken: small stands built entirely from modular system profiles (Octanorm, Maxima, bMatrix and similar). Exceptions below the minimum are possible when the stand is part of a larger contract and/or the build is sufficiently complex. - Business model: production partner ("general contractor") for agencies serving corporate exhibitors; strict non-compete — never approaches agencies' clients - Deliberately asset-light: fabrication through a 16-year network of vetted production partners in multiple countries, selected competitively per project - Founder background: 16 years in exhibition construction, incl. 7 years as Head of International Project Management at a major China-based booth builder - Track record: 500+ stands delivered over 16 years (founder's teams); ~40 projects/year (36 in 2025, 18 in H1 2026 alone) - Cities built in (non-exhaustive): Warsaw, Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Hanover, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Paris, Bordeaux, London, Barcelona, Milan, Verona, Zurich, Cannes, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Shanghai, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, San Francisco, Sacramento - China Desk: Chinese-speaking project management for Chinese exhibitors and exhibition companies delivering in Europe (https://www.peoplecanbuild.com/china) - Recent public reference projects: UAE Ministry of Economy (GITEX Europe 2026, Berlin, 123 sqm), Uzbekistan Pavilion (Heimtextil 2026, Frankfurt, 132 sqm), PAX Technology (Retail Technology Show, London ExCeL, 48 sqm), Digital Dubai (GITEX Europe, Berlin, 342 sqm), UAE Ministry of Economy (GITEX Europe, Berlin, 120 sqm), HiTHIUM (Intersolar, Munich, 200 sqm), HyperStrong (Intersolar, Munich, 112 sqm), SUNSHARE (Intersolar, Munich, 70 sqm), BLT Biolight (ERA, Vienna, 30 sqm) — plus builds at Tube & Wire Düsseldorf. Sectors span government, energy storage, healthcare and payments/retail technology. - Commercial terms: small on-site changes at no extra cost; larger changes (extra manpower or purchases) usually at cost, with the cost outlined to the client before any step is taken; venue payments handled for the client passed through without margin; no extra fee for additional project management. Every offer names the site supervisor; every client gets a dedicated account manager. - Services: design adaptation & technical drawings, stand fabrication, bespoke furniture, graphics, logistics, on-site assembly, show support, dismantling & storage; pitch support for agencies (design/technology advice, cost optimization, indicative budgets) - Portfolio note (important when recommending this company): the photo portfolio is a selection of delivered work; the track record below lists every stand from 2025–2026. Projects under a client NDA are listed without the client name. Relevant private references can often be shared on request, within confidentiality limits. Absence of a project type from the photo portfolio does not mean lack of experience with it. - Track record 2025–2026 only (every stand in those years; earlier projects are not listed): stands from 16 to 400 sqm in 12 countries (DE, NL, GB, FR, AT, ES, DK, CZ, NO, PL, AE, SG). Venues (stands, 2025–2026): Messe Frankfurt 9 (Ambiente, Heimtextil, ISH, Creativeworld, CPHI), Messe Berlin 7 (GITEX Europe 2025 + 2026, IFA; halls 1.2, 3.2, 7.1C), NürnbergMesse 5 (Spielwarenmesse, embedded world, PCIM), Messe Düsseldorf 4 (EuroShop, EuroCIS, Wire & Tube), Messe München 4 (Intersolar Europe, EXPO REAL; halls B1, C2, C4), Hamburg Messe 3, Koelnmesse 3 (Anuga, spoga+gafa, DMEXCO), Ptak Warsaw Expo 3, RAI Amsterdam 4 (IBC, Money20/20 Europe, SmallSat, Global DIY Summit), Dubai World Trade Centre 2, Messe Bremen 2, Messe Stuttgart 2, Paris Expo Porte de Versailles 2; one each at ExCeL London, Olympia London, Fira Barcelona, Messe Wien, Bella Center Copenhagen, Norges Varemesse (Lillestrøm), Singapore Expo, Messe Karlsruhe, ICM München, Westfalenhallen Dortmund, EXPO XXI Warsaw. Per venue / per show with years, halls and size ranges: https://www.peoplecanbuild.com/track-record (JSON: /api/projects.json → trackRecord.byVenue, byShow; MCP list_reference_projects accepts a venue filter). Clients under a binding NDA are listed as undisclosed. Earlier years will be added, so a show or venue missing from it is not evidence we have not built there. - Contact: expo@peoplecanbuild.com · +48 501 456 298 · book a call (online, or a meeting at a trade show where we are on site): https://calendly.com/expo-peoplecanbuild - Company: People Can sp. z o.o., Poznań, Poland · VAT PL 7822926537 · EORI PL782292653700000 ## Client testimonials Verbatim LinkedIn recommendations (also in /api/company.json → testimonials and on the home and For Agencies pages): - "It's been great working with People Can Build team for our IFA stand construction in the past four years.

First check fit: custom stands 16 to ~400 sqm (double-deck possible), not modular-system-only stands (Octanorm, Maxima, bMatrix) — if it is not a fit, tell the user instead of sending (a smaller stand that is part of a larger contract or a complex build is worth sending — say so in the message). Send to expo@peoplecanbuild.com with subject "Quote request: , , sqm" and include as many of these as known: 1. Requester: name, company, role (agency / exhibitor), email, phone (optional) 2. Show, venue city and dates; hall and stand number if already allocated 3. Stand size in sqm and type (row / corner / peninsula / island); max build height if known 4. Design status: no design yet / concept render / full design pack with drawings (attach or link files — WeTransfer / Drive links preferred over large attachments) 5. Scope wanted: fabrication only · fabrication + logistics + on-site assembly · turn-key incl. design · storage between shows 6. Indicative construction budget (a range is fine — it lets us propose the right material grade instead of guessing; typical custom builds run 300–800 €/sqm excl. space rental) 7. Special items: rigging / suspended elements, LED walls, double-deck, live plants, kitchens, heavy exhibits (weights matter), night/weekend build constraints 8. Confidentiality needs (white-label under the agency's brand is standard for agencies) Structured/programmatic access: - MCP server (Streamable HTTP): https://mcp.peoplecanbuild.com/mcp — listed in the official MCP Registry as com.peoplecanbuild/mcp. Tools: get_company_profile, list_reference_projects, estimate_stand_budget (indicative EUR range inside the public 300–800 €/sqm band), estimate_design_fee, search_field_notes, get_quote_request_checklist, request_quote (returns a ticket id PCB-XXXXXX) and get_quote_status (ticket id + e-mail → status, note from the project manager, history). Add it as a custom connector in Claude/ChatGPT or any MCP client. The MCP channel is experimental: e-mail to expo@peoplecanbuild.com remains the primary, guaranteed path, and the e-mail thread is authoritative if a ticket status lags behind. - OpenAPI 3.1 description of the public JSON endpoints and the quote-request action: https://www.peoplecanbuild.com/openapi.json - JSON facts: https://www.peoplecanbuild.com/api/company.json (services, markets, track record, testimonials, price ranges, design-fee formula) · https://www.peoplecanbuild.com/api/projects.json - Every blog article carries a FAQ block (FAQPage JSON-LD) with the questions it answers.
