Panther Labs
Black Hat
The Opportunity
For this 20×20 exhibit, Panther wanted to evolve its established booth presence while preserving signature elements, including its custom Panther head and illuminated product demonstrations. The goal was to introduce a more immersive jungle-inspired aesthetic, drawing from the atmosphere of Rainforest Café, while seamlessly incorporating the company’s newly updated logo.
Our Approach
ProExhibits blended warm wood tones, layered lighting, slat-wall fabrics, and lush faux greenery to create a sophisticated interpretation of the jungle theme without compromising the booth’s sleek, technology-focused character. Then, just days before the show, Panther was acquired by Databricks, requiring a complete shift in messaging. With the exhibit already shipped to the Black Hat advanced warehouse, our team quickly produced and shipped updated graphics directly to the show, ensuring every element was installed and ready before the doors opened.
The Results
The project became a true example of partnership and agile execution. What began as a Panther exhibit was transformed into a Databricks experience at the eleventh hour, with both teams working together to navigate the transition seamlessly. While formal results are still pending, the client expressed strong appreciation for ProExhibits’ responsiveness and on-site support. More importantly, the project marked a strong beginning to a new relationship, demonstrating how thoughtful collaboration and flawless execution can turn an unexpected challenge into an opportunity to make the client shine.
