The speakers covered a range of topics including marketing, lead generation, exhibitor success, GDPR and matchmaking, presenting their advice and experiences before sitting down to engage the audience in a Q&A panel session.
Katie Morhen, director at marketing agency, 52eight3, presented her top tips for marketing an exhibition stand. She said, “I was delighted with yesterday. Everyone gained something, whether it was advice, ideas, connections or all of the above!
“Days like these are so important for exhibitors to gain crucial insights so they can get the most out of their stands.”
Exhibitor, Maggie Bruk from Shocklogic, described the sessions as “valuable” to her and her team. She added: “We’ve learnt a lot about the preparation that we need to do before the show to get the best out of it. It’s been great to hear about the different tools that we can use.”
