Make the Most of Your Event

1. Start with clear event objectives

Decide what success looks like before the event. Whether it's generating leads, launching a product, meeting existing customers or increasing brand awareness, clear goals will help shape every decision.


2. Promote your attendance early

Don't wait for visitors to find you. Use LinkedIn, tell your prospects you're exhibiting, and consider inviting key customers to a demo, meeting or drinks reception.

Here are some of the most common mistakes – and how to avoid them.

Relying on public Wi-Fi

We run a busy venue, so public Wi-Fi clogs up quickly. If you’re running demos, capturing leads or relying on internet access as a critical part of your results, make sure your set-up will hold up.

Solution: Explore dedicated connectivity options designed for exhibitors.

Managing too many suppliers

We get it! Coordinating multiple suppliers can create unnecessary administration, increase complexity and leave more room for things to be missed.

Solution: Keep products and services in one place to simplify planning and coordination.

Ordering services too late

Leaving key decisions until the final few weeks can waste budget, increase pressure and leave less time to prepare.

Solution: Plan ahead and take advantage of early ordering opportunities.

Forgetting about utilities

Power, water, compressed air and other utilities are easy to overlook during planning but essential for many exhibitors.

Solution: Review your utility requirements early to ensure everything is ready before event day.

Assuming visitors will find your stand

Even a great stand can be missed if visitors don’t know you’re there or can’t easily spot you in a busy exhibition hall.

Solution: Consider media, advertising and rigging opportunities to increase awareness of your presence and make your stand easier to find.

No visitor engagement strategy

The most successful exhibitors think carefully about how they’ll attract visitors, encourage conversations and create meaningful interactions on their stand.

Solution: Explore visitor engagement and hospitality options.
