Local exhibitions in/around Berkshire

[VMHardSoft]

Hi,

I wanted to know of any exhibitions that are going on in the near future that we can exhibit at. We focus on the B2B market with a small/medium budget showing our IT products.

So far, I have tried the thisisrichmond show which has been reasonable but one exhibition is not enough. I have heard that not all thisis... exhibitions are not great. Would be good to know from yourselves about any others and if you exhibited or attended them and your thoughts on them.

Thanks

The other thing to look at is all the networking events in and around Bracknell/Wokingham area. There are masses of events, which will allow you to visitor for the cost of breakfast, ie BNIs etc through to other more relaxed affairs, ie. 5 o'clock Club at Artsbar, Wokingham every Friday.

Hi

With exhibitions, it's important to really think about how to make the most of them. I can highly recommend getting hold of a book called Exhibit! The SME's guide to using exhibitions to grow your business written by Fiona Humberstone who used the exhibiton platform to successfully launch her business. You find find details of it here.

We are hosting a big business expo at Twickenham Stadium on 2nd March - the Networking Expo 2010. We tested the water last year by holding a smaller show with just 50 exhibitors - it was successful, with well over 500 visitors on the day - so this year we've gone large and partnered with organisations such as the Council, Business Link, FSB, etc. to hold a show twice as big at a really prestigious venue!

There's 100 stands and our goal is to attract well over 1,000 visitors - a big local PR and promotional campaign is now underway. So if your business is not restricted to targeting a particular geographical location, then I'd strongly suggest snapping up one of the last remaining stands.

Best of luck!

Although mainly B2C, possibly some B2B MultiPlay regularly have LAN events in Newbury and often have vendors in for the exhibition hall.
If you do contact them mention my name

Exhibitions might not be the best way to promote your product, especially if you are looking to make volume or quick sales as exhibitions are more like a way of networking. Take a look at where your best competitors are advertising, many IT related businesses are advertising in on IT related websites and in business magazines.
