Get noticed, be remembered
A suggestion, i.e. if you don't get noticed (in the first place), you won't or can't be remembered.
Other options:
Get noticed and be remembered
Be noticed (and) be remembered
Get noticed (and) stay noticed
Your own suggestion "be seen or be forgotten" also seems quite common, but perhaps "be seen and not forgotten" might be another alternative?

Only those who stand out will be remembered
Lots of possibilities here...

To the visible go the spoils
It may be that none of these are of any use. Still, it was fun composing the list:
To the visible go the spoils.
Be there or be square.
Show and (let your customers) tell.
Give your visitors something to talk about.
Let your exhibit define the discourse.
Show them something to remember you by.
Make them a stand they can't forget.

: As nonnative I would've used a single phrase, perhaps "Stand out and make a lasting impression" but guess yours is far more idiomatic.

Thanks, Hazmatgerman. I think a single phrase is equally as good.
