Why Exhibit

The Exhibition and Development Sessions offer users, buyers and specifiers from across the public sector and related agencies including transport, MOD, central and local government and utilities access to the best current and developing technologies which support their businesses and services, and which will shape their future operations. 

Who attends?

The event regularly attracts in the region of 1000 specialists in their respective fields from a range of public service, government and related agencies.

New Venue

For 2012 the event takes place at Manchester Central (formerly GMex), a city centre venue with great facilities, a wide range of well-priced hotels within easy walking distance, and ample vehicle display space inside and outside the hall, as well as space for exciting new features.

Business and Networking 

The event plays a vital role in bringing buyers, sellers, specifiers and users from across the industry together to share ideas, information and experience. Exhibitors consistently report an exceptionally high quality of visitors to the show, and 79% say they meet visitors they wouldn't see elsewhere, obtaining sales leads to follow up, and building new relationships with potential customers.

The Exhibition and Development Sessions offer a key event for meeting old contacts and making new ones, and networking is central to the event experience. At the close of the first day's business, the event dinner at the Midland Hotel brings the industry together for the perfect opportunity to continue conversations and debate.

Marketing 

Our aim, and yours, is to get as many of the right people as possible at the show and talking to you. The exhibitor zone enables you to upload press releases, news, videos and sales materials onto your area of the site, which we also use in regular industry email updates broadcast to the entire visitor database telling them why they should come and talk to you at the show.

We'll give you free visitor tickets to send to your current and prospective customers, branded e-invitations to email, and would encourage you to use The Journal to advertise your presence at the show - the quarterly magazine is highly respected, and the best read by your target audience.
