Size: 81 sqm, 9 x 9m island
Design and build: Creative8
Racer activation: Arcade Strange
Creative8 designed and built Sage’s 81 sqm island exhibition stand for UNLEASH Paris in October 2026. The 9 x 9m space combined Sage’s new materials palette, software demonstration areas and a mind-controlled racing activation supported by Arcade Strange.
Part of our bespoke exhibition stand design and build work, the project brought brand visibility, visitor interaction and space for conversations together in one open environment.
Sage’s brief was to create a new booth using its updated materials pack, reinforcing the brand’s position and opening up insightful conversations through its software.
The 9 x 9m island site, near the hall entrance and theatre, called for a welcoming design with clear visibility and room for visitors to explore.
Curved walls and illuminated Sage lettering gave the stand a recognisable identity, balanced by timber-look flooring, vertical timber-style slats and textured surfaces.
A suspended circular feature dressed with greenery created a focal point above the open island layout. Integrated screens and demonstration points brought Sage’s software into the space, while planting and seating softened the setting for conversations.
The completed stand brought product demonstrations, face-to-face discussion and a playful interactive experience together within one coherent Sage environment.
Its open edges welcomed visitors from the surrounding aisles, with distinct areas to explore the software, meet the team and take part in the activation.

Arcade Strange supported the stand’s interactive experience with Racer, The Mind-Controlled Grand Prix.
Two visitors wore EEG headbands to race slot cars using their concentration, with their focus controlling the speed. The bespoke Paris-themed circuit featured recognisable landmarks, Sage-branded cars and a live focus display.
Set within the stand, the activation offered a playful starting point for conversations alongside Sage’s software demonstrations.
