Thoughts on the 2009 event!
Hear what the SME exhibitors said...."This is the 17th year Solarvista has been exhibiting at SME and it forms a central part of our marketing efforts. We have been extremely pleased with 2009’s event and indeed benefited from more interest than ever. Our stand was operating at capacity across both days. We have already re-booked for 2010 and look forward to another successful year." "We have met a lot of senior key decision-makers, over the two day event, who have had a requirement for our services. The number of high quality visitors has been exceptional and I feel it is well worth our while rebooking for the 2010 event." "This is our first year at Service Management Expo and we are really impressed with both the quality and quantity of visitors. We have had some great discussions and definitely met our goals set pre show and will be back next year with a bigger stand!" "The event has been much busier than we expected it to be with the current climate and have been pleasantly surprised with the high calibre of visitors. Exhibiting here is an important part of our marketing within the SME sector." "SME is a very important event in our calendar and we were once again very impressed with the quality of the visitors." "This is the first time we have exhibited at Service Management Expo and we have been very impressed with the quality of the sales leads generated along with the professional attitude of the UBM staff. SME is living proof that ‘size doesn’t matter’. It’s not the biggest of shows, but really packs a punch when it comes to speaking to company decision makers. It’s a must for any technology company providing a service to this sector." "The visitor numbers seemed much higher than the 2008 show and we were able to generate some very good quality leads. The standard of visitor was good; we forged new relationships as well as renewed existing ones. The footfall to our stand was high due to our location and our pre marketing paid off as visitors were aware of our location and what we had on offer." |
And the visitor experience...."My overall impression of the show was excellent, very busy and a great variety of exhibitors. The education programme and the guest speakers were also from a cross-section of the industry which was good – in general a really worthwhile event." "It is great that SME and Call Centre Expo are co-locating. As someone looking for a helpdesk software package the show has certainly met my expectations – the only problem is there is too much choice and not enough time to see everything!" "Very good conference programme with some great content and I like the new showfloor bar – such a useful feature as it is good to catch up with everyone. The co-location with CC&CM Expo is a great idea as there is also a lot of relevant stuff next door." "I have been attending SME for the last five years as I can always discover what is new as well as meet industry peers. I like the new Networking bar – what a great idea – perfect place for my pre-arranged meetings." "I have come all the way from the US to visit Service Management Expo! I am here to attend the many conference sessions on offer and hear the latest industry developments. The new Solutions Theatre added to the show is a good thing for visitors to hear about products aswell. It is a key date in my diary for networking with the industry." |
