So pleased to read these comments. We tried to put on a show with best practice presentations and not just a trade opportunity. In previous years the presentations were always hampered a wee bit with the venue and noise so we tried to segregate that off with an indoor marquee defining where these took place. However, I believe the presenters would still benefit from a PA system so that will be sorted for next year with a hands free mike. We will also set up an overhead camera and screen to better show whats happening with the demos.
During the event we were approached by some new (large) exhibitors who had come to check out the event. After seeing what we had done they said they will be there themselves exhibiting next year! This is fantastic news but will create a lot more work as we will likely need to expand at the venue possibly into large marquees as the two hall limit the space, to get a bit of everything there and represented. We want it to remain an indoor event and like this venue. So, lots to sort for next years.
We thought the seminars were very relevant this year and will look to build on that at the next event with hopefully even more. They were certainly well attended.
Thank you to all who came to support the Fair and again for the supportive comments.
