Elevating the PBSA Mid-Year Conference Environment

The Professional Background Screening Association (PBSA) hosted its 2025 Mid-Year Conference at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, VA. As their team prepared for a multi-day gathering of industry professionals, they turned to Heritage for visual solutions that would support the tone, flow, and identity of the event.

Working from client supplied artwork, Heritage produced and installed branded graphics throughout the hotel including the lobby, escalators, elevators, and registration areas to help guide attendees and create a polished, high-visibility environment. Our team managed all aspects of print prep, production, and on-site execution under a compressed schedule that included weekend installation and weekday removal.

Project Goals + Background

PBSA’s internal event team had a clear vision for how the environment should look and feel: elevated, cohesive, and purposeful. The goal was to reflect the organization’s professional identity through branded visuals that engaged attendees from the moment they arrived.

Heritage worked closely with their design files and floorplans to ensure every element was correctly scaled, prepped, and sequenced for production. We also performed detailed site coordination and material selection to ensure smooth application on various surfaces across the venue.

Process + Solutions Delivered

• Column Wraps: Wrapped four columns throughout the hotel with conference branding to reinforce messaging and fill negative space
• Registration Desk Wrap: Applied a wide-format desk wrap to serve as a branded focal point in the attendee check-in area
• Glass Walkway Graphics: Installed two large-format decals on interior glass railings to enhance visual presence and define the event footprint
• Elevator Wraps: Wrapped elevator doors and header panels on three units to bring visual consistency across vertical transitions
• Escalator Graphics: Branded both sides of two escalator columns to carry the theme across high-traffic vertical spaces
• Meter Boards: Produced freestanding double-sided displays to support wayfinding and agenda visibility
• Installation Services: Coordinated all installation logistics with hotel staff, completing weekend setup and scheduled removal with minimal disruption

Final Outcome

From bold column wraps to directional signage, every element was produced and installed with precision to elevate PBSA’s conference experience. Attendees moved through a branded environment that supported clarity, professionalism, and event cohesion at every turn.

Heritage was honored to help PBSA bring their vision to life by providing reliable, venue‑ready graphics backed by a responsive project team and experienced installers. We take pride in supporting events like these with solutions that reflect both purpose and polish.

The objective was to guide visitors through distinct brand zones while maintaining a cohesive overall experience. The team prioritized visual storytelling, brand clarity, and wayfinding within a large multi-zone environment.

Process & Solutions Delivered

We worked alongside the client team to produce and install a coordinated set of large-format graphics and dimensional elements.

Iterative proofing and sequencing ensured each zone aligned to its brand look and remained presentable during updates.

Enhancing a Global Dialogue with Effective Event Signage

Meridian International Center hosts events that bring together global leaders, policymakers, and changemakers. For one of their signature summits in Washington, DC, the Meridian team engaged Heritage to produce and implement signage that would enhance navigation, reinforce branding, and support a seamless guest experience from arrival to departure.

Project Goals and Background

The summit required directional and branded visuals that could be deployed quickly and removed without disruption to the venue. With a tight install window and prominent interior placement, the signs needed to be visually sharp, well-balanced, and easily understood by attendees across multiple spaces.

Heritage’s role was to manage the production, installation, and post-event removal of all signage elements, working from client-supplied design files.

Solutions + Process Delivered

SEG Counters: Two branded registration counters featuring push-in printed fabric graphics and internal shelves
Meter Boards: One single-sided welcome sign and one double-sided sponsor display, produced on foamcore with custom feet
Easel Signs: Eight foamcore signs in both single and double-sided formats for schedules, messages, and directional cues
Retractable Banners: Four Blade Lite banner stands used throughout the event footprint to reinforce key messages
Installation and Removal: Our team installed all items on-site the afternoon before the summit and returned after the event to complete a timely and efficient breakdown

Final Outcome

The result was a professional, branded environment that supported attendees throughout the venue. From registration to sponsor recognition, each piece contributed to the overall clarity and flow of the event. Heritage was proud to deliver a visual solution that matched the summit’s significance and scope.
