Backdrops with Projection Screens

An event reflects your identity and conveys brand value to all visitors.

This being said, any event requires multiple structures, and projection screens are an essential element in any large-scale event.

These screens help to capture more attention from the visitor or consumer and are perfect for when we want to display something graphically or digitally. This directly impacts audience engagement and visibility in a trade show, fair, or conference setting.

In summary, a projection screen isn’t just a display – it’s a strategic, multi-functional asset that enhances your presence, communication, and impact at an industry event.

Projection Screens Help Communicate Crearly & Memorably in an Environment Where Attention is Everything

Projection Screens at Industry Events

Professional Presentation of Visual Content

At industry events, first impressions matter. A projection screen allows you to present videos, animations, slideshows, product walkthroughs, or promotional content in a clean, professional, and cohesive way. It becomes your central communication tool, helping convey complex information quickly and visually. Instead of handing out a brochure, you can show a short demo or testimonial video that’s more likely to resonate. It also allows for real-time updates if your message changes or evolves during the event.

Audience Engagement

In a crowded venue, grabbing attention is half the battle. A projection screen displaying motion, color, and light naturally draws the eye far more than static signage. It helps pull people in from across the room, encouraging them to stop, watch, and engage with your booth or presentation. Once they’re there, you can deliver your pitch or start a conversation. When used effectively, screens act as magnets, especially when combined with sound or interactive elements.

Scalability

Projection screens are highly adaptable — they come in a wide range of sizes and mounting types (freestanding, ceiling-mounted, foldable), which means you can scale your visual presentation to fit your space. Whether you have a small kiosk or a full booth, or you’re delivering a keynote in a large conference hall, projection fits. This flexibility makes it easier to maintain brand consistency across different types of events, venues, or booth sizes.

Cost-Effective for Large Displays

Compared to LED walls or large-format displays, projectors and screens are generally more affordable for large-scale viewing. You can achieve a 100”+ display with a mid-range projector and screen for a fraction of the cost of an equivalent LED setup. Especially for one-off events or companies on a budget, projection offers a high-impact, low-cost solution that doesn’t compromise on professionalism or visibility.

Flexibility in Content

Projection screens support nearly any type of content: PowerPoint decks, video reels, live camera feeds, product interfaces, social media walls, or real-time data visualizations. You can switch between different types of media without physically changing anything in your booth. This allows you to tailor your message throughout the day depending on the audience (e.g., investors in the morning, customers in the afternoon), or run multiple campaigns from a single setup. The screen becomes a dynamic storytelling tool that adapts to your needs.

Advantages and Uses of Backdrops with Projection Screens

A projection screen is an installation consisting of a surface and a support structure used for displaying a projected image for the view of an audience. Projection screens may be permanently installed on a wall, as in a movie theater, mounted to or placed in a ceiling using a rollable projection surface that retracts into a casing, painted on a wall, or floor rising models as in conference rooms or other non-dedicated viewing space.

Projection screens allow us to better express and explain the purpose of the event, conference or lecture. They can be accompanied by a backdrop that draws greater attention to the screens. In this way, the user/visitor’s eyes are focused on the content we want them to see.

With AV Drop you get easy, quick and simple assembly and disassembly. In addition, we can design a customised screen for your needs. We can adapt to what you want to show and turn it into a reality.

This is the ideal option if you want a projection screen on its own. But if you want a backdrop, you can also have a projection screen or more than one projection screen next to your structure. There are two projection types, rear and front projection.

Depending on the size of your backdrop, you can choose to use one or more screens, and you can vary the size of the screens. We use three standard sizes of projection screen, but they can also be made to measure. Our three standard sizes are 350cm. x 197cm., 400cm. x 225cm. and 500cm. x 285cm.

In addition, our kits (AV Drop PRO, Starter Kit) include the necessary parts and fabrics to be able to mount two projection screens on your stage backdrop.

Front Projection Screens for Backdrops

Front projection screens are an essential tool for many events, presentations and productions. They are an effective way of presenting images, video and other content to a live audience. However, the screen alone is not enough to create an impressive backdrop.

If you don’t have a lot of space in the room where you want to place your backdrop, front projection is the best option.

Depending on the size of your backdrop, you can choose to use one or more screens, and you can vary the size of the screens.

Rear Projection Screens for Backdrops

Rear projection screens are screens designed to be used from behind, where a light source projects an image onto the screen to be viewed from the front. These screens are commonly used in locations where a clear and crisp image is required in low light situations.

If you have a lot of space behind the stage itself, rear projection is the best option.

The advantage over front projection screens is that the projection is from behind, so there are no shadows seen from the front. The disadvantage is that you need much more space behind the screen to project.
