June 28, 2007 A great couple of days 1) A vast range of possibilities. At the show there were many event service providers who could help you make the most of your event 2) Expertise. These exhibitors included many of the foremost events minds in the UK, all of whom have a wealth of knowledge that can help you run a marvellous event 3) Education. A full seminar programme that addressed a wide range of events issues. All free to attend, the visitors came away with a long list of help and advice 4) Inspiration. Even the quickest of walks around the show presented the visitor with an extraordinary array of sights and sounds that amply demonstrated the power of live events 5) Surprise. Many visitors were delighted to find that they came looking for one particular product but had also met people who could supply other items and provide other services. A real on-stop-shop in other words 6) Effective time management. In the increasingly hectic business world a trip to the show and the ideas and contacts you took away would help you do your job far more efficiently and effectively 7) Networking. At the various bars and cafΓ©s there was animated conversation as visitors and exhibitors came together to exchange opinions and, importantly, contact details 8) The party. Sponsored by TSNN.co.uk this was an excellent opportunity to continue the networking in convivial surroundings over a welcome cold beer or white wine 9) The website. It is still up and running so you can still find the contractor or service provider who could make a difference for your business 10) Next year. This was the fourth running of the show and it continues to grow and become even more exciting. Make sure that, as soon as they become known, the dates for next yearβs event are in your diary. Start planning now!
