EventMAX components can be used to create simple pavilions as well, using the same 16’x16’ architecture. A quick setting premium pavilion is perfect for food/beverage or experiential games or attendee activities. Although EventMAX is a premium architectural solution, set-up is simpler than comparable tent structures – post and beam construction without cranes.
